He was on the sideline and addressed the crowd at the home opener. I guess another miserable loss to the Packers started his slide.
Imagine having Jordan Love carving up the Bears be your last recollection of Bears v Packers. Depressing!
RIP

It's a shame he had to go out when his former team is so damn terrible to watch.

RIP to a true legend.

Ugh, just heard. First Bears player I recall my father telling me to watch because he was always going to be around the ball. >sigh<

"He was the meanest (S.O.B.) I've ever seen in my life who played professional football," Packers Hall of Fame running back Paul Hornung said. "He didn't like anybody with a different-color jersey. I mean, he really disliked you. He went after you like he hated you from his old neighborhood."

One of the best, I remember being a kid and watching him. Huge loss for Bears fans and the world. Joe Namath tells a funny story how he wrecked his winter coat warming up for a game, with his cleats.
