I remember him once saying that he would never try to intentionally injure an opposing player unless it was a really important game....like a league game.

"He refused to accept anything less than the best from himself, or from his teammates. ... His contributions to the game he loved will live forever and we are grateful he was able to be at our home opener this year to be celebrated one last time by his many fans."
Nice send off.
Shut up, Randy!

Butkus was THE most dominant defensive player of my lifetime.
Ferocious and utterly relentless.
He played every down as if his career depended on it.

Only LT (Giants) came close to the same level of dominance.

Da Bears killed Butkus with their 0-4 record.

I would have gone with...

"Dick Butkus refuses to watch the Bears Thursday Night game".


The guy was a monster. And hit like a ton of bricks.

"Dick Butkus was the meanest son-of-a-bitch to ever play professional football. He didn't like anybody in a different colored uniform."
--the late Paul Hornung





NFL Films rated him #1 on the Most Feared Tackler list.
