Here’s a shout out to Corey Levitan for his excellent research and interesting articles, which –come to find out– I’ve enjoyed for many years living here in Las Vegas.

First, let’s take a moment to reflect upon NFL legend Dick Butkus, who died on Thursday. Butkus was the embodiment of the tough guy middle linebacker. He was the ultimate team player. Butkus played on mostly horrible Chicago Bears teams during his injury-riddled career when the grass and mud were real, when games weren’t postponed because of weather (or worse-played in domes), referees didn’t throw flags every other down, and players played for a love of the game.
