Rest In Peace, Matt Suhey.
Growing up in Milwaukee to be a Bears fan was sacrilegious - I didn’t know that at 8 years old.
My sports heroes were Walter Payton and Robin Yount; before the SuperBowls, World Series and MVPs. I believe another reason they have stayed with me to this day (59 yrs old) is I felt they never let me down. Great heroes to have.
I enjoyed watching Suhey and appreciated immediately what he added as a player only because I started to understand the game better. Great memories and Matt Suhey is a name that will stay with me.
I was in Vegas on business and decided to make a small wager just to heighten the excitement a bit. And the Bears were so heavily favored that the only bets to make a good return on were to bet the Pats heads-up or bet that Refrigerator Perry would score an offensive touchdown. So I bet on the Pats to win (and they got clobbered) and The ‘Fridge scored TWO running touchdowns on the day.
And the Space Shuttle Challenger exploded two days later.

“We’re doing a new version of ‘Brian’s Song,'” Payton said. “The only difference is the Black guy dies.”
