[archersangel]

Butkus became a Bears legend and Pro Football Hall of Famer in his nine-year career, which started in 1965. He was a middle linebacker whose intimidating presence put some players on their heels before the ball was even snapped

RIP.

I only know him as the coach from Hang Time lol. Anyone else watch that?

Da Bears managed a win in his honor. It’s a miracle!

Anyway, his name never failed to crack me up as a kid. RIP.

I know nothing about sports so his name made me think of the Olsens’ It Takes Two and the Butkus family in that lol I guess that’s where they got the name from.

RIP

RIP to a legend, the actual Monster of the Midway (and boss enough to sue George-fucking-Halas for trying to weasel out of paying him):
