I never got to see him play, but my dad, as a Packers fan, hated him because he was so good.

Damn. R.I.P.

My brother is 3 yrs older than me and a bears fan and my dad would tell me when I was 2 and he was 5 he would tackle me around the house and just yell Butkus!

RIP to one of the greatest

DB. No contest. He was the water buffalo of football.

Arguable. But those 2 are 1 and 1a.

I like Lambert but Dobler flies under the radar as an offensive lineman. He was a real cocksucker.

 

[Handicappers]

The guy from Gremlins 2 and Johnny Dangerously played football?

30 years ago I visit the Pro HOF and you could sit in this booth and watch highlights of the greatest by position which you could pick. I picked linebackers and no lie he was half the clips. Definitely the Gordie Howe of linebackers.
