Butkus rarely led with his head, he didn't have to. He just knew how to tackle properly and was bigger and stronger than most of the people he faced so it always looked worse than what it actually was.

No one that I ever saw before or since was as perfect a tackler as Butkus. He enveloped the ball carrier like a big damn vulture. He and Deacon Jones were the best two defensive players ever in the NFL.

Too bad none of you clowns ever saw him play live

Please, tell us again how old you are and how much better than everyone else you are based on the year you happened to be hatched.

Matt Forte: "I'm Dead"

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap30...att-forte-on-turning-30-im-dead-im-an-old-man

"I'm dead," he said, via ESPN.com. "I'm an old man. I feel like I'm so old, man. Yesterday I was 29 years old, running around all practice. Today it took me like one extra minute to get going. It's taken a toll on me."

"I can probably play 12 or 13 years, or something like that," Forte said. "I think when I came out of college, I said I'd like to play at least 10 years. Twelve years is a long time for a running back, even 10 years. I'll assess where I am after 10 years, but my goal is 10 or 12 years."



Happy Birthday to one of the many all time Bear greats.

Why?

Expect everyone to stay young forever?

Um, I believe that the wish is that he would be reincarnated as a young Bear player and dominate the NFL once again.
