Oh man.... A great linebacker and from what I’ve seen in his post career, he didn’t take himself too seriously. RIP Dick Butkus.

He even did some acting. Played in Gremlins Two and The Teddy Bears Picnic. Really didn’t take himself that seriously.

Great picture. He and Halas are getting a game up with Sid Luckman, Gale, Pic, and Sweetness.

But 80 is good for a former NFLer. Especially as hard as he used to collide with opponents and given the quality of equipement worn in his day. 80 is darn great!
