A HOF who never played in a conference or league championship game. RIP

The first of a long line of great middle linebackers in Chicago. Butkus, Singletary, Urlacher and Roquan Smith. This one hurts.

Always liked Butkus.
The name Butkus stands for football to me.
Bears have to win tonight in his honor, show some pride for a legend.
