He played football the way it’s supposed to be played! Him and gale sayers in same draft imagine that! Go to Valhalla Dick rest in peace!

 

[Quick Draw]

That he was on only 2 winning teams is goddamned sin.

On and off the field, he seemed A-ok.


Salute the nation

As in the game of “football” was actually played and played by men?!

 

[Ron Burgundy]

One of my favorite non-Steelers when I was a kid.

The Bears paid a fitting tribute to him last night with their performance.
The product on the field was just so good back then...
Yeah, I know todays players are better athletes, but you know what, sometimes that doesn't make for a better game of professional football.

RIP 51

that movie creeped me the hell out when I watched on Chiller Theater as a kid one Saturday night!

I still refuse to watch it!

In fact...I dont even want to hear Butkus talk about it!
