Dick Butkus dead at 80
https://sports-yahoo-com.cdn.ampproj...223149911.html
NFL Network ranked the most feared tacklers in league history in 2009. No. 1 on the list was Dick Butkus. There could have been no other choice for the top spot.
Butkus’ name has become synonymous with the violent side of football: fear and intimidation. Butkus was also synonymous with greatness at middle linebacker, and in many ways the NFL itself.

Damn skippy! Wasn't a fan of his team, wasn't even born when he joined Chicago. So never saw him play live. But instantly see him as one of the best to ever do it. Brutal and nasty but great football and long before the skirts were wrapped around the QB's during warmups.Back when they played real football. Dick Butkus was one of my favorites.
