Loved watching highlights of him plow driving people, one of the greatest of all time for sure.

When I was a young man I remember making this comment to an older gentleman, "Ha, Dick Butkiss. I wonder how many times he got picked on growing up?" Response - "Probably not very many times son, he was a big strong mean SOB."
RIP Sir.

In high school football, they used to show us those old NFL football films to get us pumped up. "Crunchtime" was my favorite. Of course, they weren't old at the time, but Butkus was always an inspiration to young aspiring linebackers, etc. RIP.

Had the opportunity to dine with him at a private event some years back during Hall of Fame week. What a Bear paw that guy had! Play on words intended.

In my football days every defensive player wanted to be Dick Butkus!

Never saw him play. But I did see a fantasy football team named “Put My Ditka in Her Butkus”.

I once heard him say " I hate quarterbacks even my own". I had the pleasure of seeing him play. He was great. RIP

Butkus was a man among boys when the NFL was a sure enough man’s game.
