Ping.
I remember him. He help take the Bears to the Big Game.

Another steroid victim?
I would think so. There are too many players collapsing and dying due to heart diseases. It is symptomatic of heavy or continued use of steriods among other things.
One of the '85 Bears. 15-1 and Super Bowl champs. Walter Payton has been gone six years now, another from that great team.
Ever hear how Regy Robby died?
Tragic. Prayers for Daphne and family.....
Actually, Todd may have been a hold out in '85/
Ya know, You could be right. He did'nt make the Superbowl Shuffle cut.
This says it all about the man.
Rest in Peace to Todd from a Buckeye fan. He was a great athlete and will be missed.
I think you are right. Bell & Al harris both were hold outs. i think they missed the big dance.
Todd sat out the Super Bowl year for my beloved Bears, along with Al Harris
man could Todd bring the wood ...
prayers out to his family
1979: Ohio State 18, Michigan 15
This game is on ESPN Classic, and it should be. Unbeaten and second-ranked Ohio State moved the ball convincingly most of the day, but had trouble scoring. Sophomore All-American quarterback Art Schlichter threw for 196 yards, including an 18-yard TD pass to Chuck Hunter to give the Buckeyes their first touchdown against Michigan since 1975.
But Michigan countered with a passing attack of its own. Freshman receiver Anthony Carter scored on a 59-yard bomb from John Wangler. Carter set up another score with a 66-yard catch. That staked Michigan to a 15-12 edge in the fourth quarter.
But Buckeyes Jim Laughlin and Ernie Andria teamed to block a punt in the fourth quarter and Todd Bell returned the bouncing ball 18 yards for the game-winning score midway through the final period.
OSU dropped a 17-16 Rose Bowl decision to USC, costing the Buckeyes a national crown.
Todd on left. Son of a pastor, Todd was a man of faith as well. He is in the presence of His Lord now.
A sad loss.
Oops, almost posted that before reading the entire thread - Bell and Harris sat out '85.
Whatever happened to Art Schlister? There's a tough story about gambling addition there.
I don't know. He sure wasted his talent and life.
