Uh yours could use a change too.

Believe me, if it meant that the person in my avatar would die immediately upon me changing it back to OJ Simpson, I would have done it already.

Not trying to be rude but was made aware of this tweet and wanted to genuinely ask - what, besides living to be 102 years old, did she do that makes her 'a legend'? Thanks.

Any Human that makes it to triple digits automatically get the "Legend" achievement.

What about people that hang from trees in a giant diaper to blast the branes out of turkeys with a bazooka?

Love to hear from Mugs Halas today.

First RIP Miss McCaskey

Second that Mugs story is definitely murky, especially with his kids not wanting to sell off their inheritance

Well this is unfortunate that she couldn't stick around long enough for the Bears to get back to winning football.

RIP

Ain't nobody got time for that . . .

Crazy how the last play she saw was the Bears beating GB on a FG.

The week after Walter died, Bears beat GB on a blocked FG.

RIP

You expected her to live to 200?

Wow, Sorry to hear. End of a era.

One of the worst in sports for sure

I plan to live a bit longer than 102, so prepare to stay cranky

 

[Bears Backer 54]

RIP

Glad the last game she watched was a win over the Pack. She lived a long, full life which is all we can hope for

 

[mecha]

if anyone's expecting wholesale changes to the Bears organization because Virginia McCaskey died, prepare yourselves for more disappointment. they're not going to magically start winning Super Bowls now.

RIP

Last win was vs the Packers. Its a good way to go out

And at Lambeau field. Beat them on their own field.

20-25 years ago, my dad joined an exercise class for seniors at the Lattof YMCA in DesPlaines. Virginia McCaskey was a regular member of the class. He said she would hang around after their workout, socializing with other class members. She was still living in the same DesPlaines house that she & Ed McCaskey had raised their kids in. One summer, she even invited the class to watch a pre-season game in the Bears owner's box. All-in-all, my dad felt she was a very nice, no pretenses, down-to-earth person. Considering that she was already worth 100s of millions back then, those were admirable qualities to have hung onto. Good run, Virginia. RIP...
