Playing high school football the coaching staff would play a movie clip of Dick Butkus' crushing hits/tackles to get us fired up.
Worked every time. Dude was feared on the field. RIP Mr. Butkus.

Sad to hear that! He was an animal and one of the toughest Linebackers that ever played football, all players feared him. I also watched his hunting shows, pretty good hunter. RIP Mr. Butkus, thank you for your contribution to the NFL when it was a tough sport.

Met him around '99 or so, giant man. Was a beast on the field and a kind guy off from what I've heard.

RIP Sir. A true Hall of Fame talent.
Died of embarrassment. Da Bears lost to Denver who gave up 70 in the previous game.

Damn! Butkus was one heck of a player. Lambert, Butkus and Nitschke and probably Willie Lanier too. Damn!
