He might make it to the HOF now.

I believe he already did.

There was a clip of his induction ceremony on NFL.com. Several members of the '85 Super Bowl team presented him with his bust in his home/hospital room/whatever it was. It was painful to watch. ALS destroyed the man. He basically looked like an emaciated corpse; couldn't speak or even move his head to look around. Not even sure if he was aware what was going on.

What a shitty way to die.

That 85 team was so fun to watch. Some mean mother****ers on defense.

RIP, Mongo.

RIP. There will never be another defense like that. Because you could physically destroy an offensive player in those days.

That's good.

I guess they were kind enough to do that for him while he was on his last leg.

RIP. The 85 Bears were my favorite team back then..The Chiefs sucked at the time and Walter Payton was my favorite player. That defense was unstoppable and Steve McMichael was a big part of it.

If not for McMichael and that Bears' defense, the Chiefs probably would have won a Super Bowl in that era.*




* - Also included in this assumption is that they drafted Dan Marino and Jerry Rice.

I got stationed at Great Lakes about a year after they won the Super Bowl. Bears fans were the most obnoxious ****ers on Earth back then - imagine being surrounded every day by idiots like the guys in the SNL sketch. Didn't help that it was damned near impossible to watch the Chiefs back then, unless you could find a bar that had the satellite access to show multiple games, and then the Chiefs would be on some 19" TV in the back corner with the volume turned off. I quickly learned to hate the Bears and didn't get over it until I finally got DirecTV and Sunday Ticket in 2001.

RIP

Here comes Mongo!!!!
