He was still playing in the league at the time so I don't recall seeing him there but pictures were everywhere.  He was married to Debra at the time who later married Stone Cold

She use to hangout downtown back in the day in the early 2000’s.  Had a mutual friend so I’d see here every now and then out.

Yeah if you assumed 110 players a year * 131 years of football and assume that nobody ever played more than 1 year you would have 14,410 players.  Mix in transfers, attrition, leaving early, etc I'd imagine that number to be closer to 5,000.

Gotta do something about all this damn dust in here

[msucolt45 3978]

Thank you for finding that video. Little dusty during lunchtime.

Hook’em!!!

[Dennis Taylor 18642]

Schefter just said they're bringing Mongo's jacket and bust to his house on Saturday. I think it's after the stuff in Canton but not sure 

[jimmyjazz 45371]

Anybody have any Zyrtec?

[Tex Pete 20098]

Awesome tribute. So pumped that he is finally getting the recognition he earned. Hate that he’s in such poor physical health, but happy that he’s lived to see it. Steve McMichael is one tough sonofabitch, on and off the field. Hook ‘em, Mongo!

Goodell should have the courage to take the jacket to McMichael directly.

Great honor for Mongo. Awesome seeing him getting so much love and respect from nfl community and city of Chicago. Vastly underrated nfl nose tackle

[4th&Five 41435]

Cool to see his sister in that picture. We used to hang with a lot of the same folks and see each other a lot. I know the last few years has been stressful on her. 

[tx 3 putt 75895]

If mcmichael had been healthy, it would have been a heeeelllllllllllllll of a party in canton 

[jimmyjazz 45371]

Man, those clips of him on the field are a big time flashback.  Between his eyes and Singletary's I don't know how opposing QBs didn't just shit themselves before the snap.  What a defense.

According to a few documentaries on them opposing QB’s would be almost crying most games when they started talking shit to them and taunting them.  Even though most of their hits were legal, McMahon’s bodyslam injury and other cheap hits were retaliation for the Bear’s defense’s abuse of quarterbacks.

What a character....Congrats Mongo!  

edit : Pisses off the worst ump in MLB 🤣. Jim Belushi would be perfect as him in a movie.

Hook 'Em Bam Bam 🤘

I know nothing about this insidious disease other than the obvious devastion it inflicts on its victims. I was amazed to see that OJ Brigance and Steve Gleason are still alive after ALS diagnoses in 2007 and 2011 respectively.
