Was most impressed with his 7 consecutive driving titles at Maywood Park from 1966 to 1972.

Lawrence Taylor couldn't hold Butkus's jock strap.

Played against him when he was at Illinois.  As great as he was he could play dirty as most opponents were left with a gash between their nose and forehead.  People don't often realize that he was a very good placekicker as well as an outstanding linebacker.  My Fraternity little brother was taught to kick by Butkus in a Chicago park.  God, it was a long time ago.

I WOULDNT GO THAT FAR BECAUSE LT WAS PROBABLT THE BEST ALL AROUND LINEBACKER WEEK AFTER WEEK AT QB SACKS AND COVERING TIGHT END AND WR ON SHORT PASS PLAYS. WHEN THE GIANTS BLITZ IT MEAN LT WAS GONNA KNOCK THE QB ON HIS ASS. JUST MY OPINION BUT LT WAS THE GREATEST EVER

taylor and butkus were different players
 taylor had the speed to wreak havoc on qbs
but in the day when the run game dominated butkus was feared by anyone trying to run in his area or catch a short pass for that matter

You can certainly can debate who was the best middle linebacker Butkus or LT but there is no debate who was a better person. RIP Dick Butkus.

  • Sweet: The fact of the matter is the win pool on Beau Jangles was I believe a negative pool,  his real odds not 1/9 but 1/99.  Enough already, we're the real patrons of thius F'ing sport, many of us also care for these animals despite the best don't want drugs and whipping, abuse.  Competition yes!

  • Lockedin with Pace: Robust Hanover was a very small horse driven by William O'Donnell. In fact the late Stan Bergstein used to refer to him as the "little peanut".
