Well I was stuck in Mexico due to storms in Houston so I may be a tad cranky.

YES! And My Two Dads.

To go from Coach Fuller to Coach Katowinski... How can one school be so lucky.

All the Bears meatheads were out today telling us their dog is named Butkus or their kid's middle name is Butkus.

"I'm a Packers fan, but I always respected Dick Butkus"

My dad wasn't a Bears fan but always told me he was a killer and one of the best football players he has ever seen.

RIP

dad - "juicy dick butkus died?"

he talks to texts everything so we get this kind of gems occasionally.

Fascinating.

My brother and his buddies would take that Butkus grill over to the Great America parking lot, hang out, get stoned and cook on that thing.

This was good, thanks. And I had always wondered where "he was Moby Dick in a golfish bowl" came from. So another life mystery is solved.

That was good. Very cool.

Very creepy looking back at Bernstein's show and article archives buddying up to Dick Butkus and Doug Buffone. When white, gentile, raised working class, high achieving, highly respected males are who he loathes and are frequently targets of his venom.

this above comment came from a recent incident (not the first spitting incident) in jerusalem, when orthodox jews began spitting on the ground in front of a christian religious procession. this news was big news in europe, not so much so - if at all, here. the israeli govt. has gone to extremes to condemn this.

i am a supporter of a strong israel. i do believe in the commonalities of beliefs and values of the judeo-christian tradition. overnight, hamas launched attacks against israel, we know that dan won't comment on the hamas attacks. i believe he is yearning to talk about them.

.

2nd thing I thought of

"My twos Dad"??! Butkus was "Woke" ?!!

One of the dads would have sex woth women in the living room regularly, at one point ng the admiration of the young male suitors of the daughter.. Far from woke.

How many knuckles?

I'm guessing 3.

80 years old, same age as my dad who went a month ago.

My mom also 80 was at illinois with Butkus. Her best friend dated him briefly.

How many Butkus knuck...n'mind.
