  Solid reaction my dude. Don’t forget that Butkis was a 260 MLB when offense guards were 260.

  Dick Butkis went on to be an actor on TV.  He had parts in a couple of TV series, many commercials, and did "color" on Bear game radio broadcasts for a number of years.

  He was a force at a time when violence was king in the league ... I don't remember him as being a "dirty" player, but on the field, he had no "off" button.

  The &quot;Monsters of the Midway&quot; is the iconic nickname for the Chicago Bears, a professional American football team in the NFL. While it is firmly cemented in pro football culture today, the moniker actually has a surprising history that predates the NFL franchise. The nickname was originally given to the University of Chicago Maroons college football team in the early 1900s. Led by legendary coach Amos Alonzo Stagg, the Maroons were an absolute powerhouse, winning national championships in 1905 and 1913. &nbsp;The name had nothing to do with Midway Airport or being in the American Midwest. It explicitly referred to the Midway Plaisance, a long, green parkway that runs right through the southern edge of the University of Chicago campus. When the university abolished its varsity football program in 1939, the nickname was left up for grabs. <br><br>In the early 1940s, the Chicago Bears dominated the NFL, winning four championships in seven seasons (1940, 1941, 1943, and 1946). Sportswriters and reporters famously transferred the &quot;Monsters of the Midway&quot; title to the Bears. Interestingly, the Bears even adopted the Maroons&apos; distinct wishbone &quot;C&quot; logo for their helmets years later. The moniker has stuck ever since, heavily associated with the franchise&apos;s historical identity of hard-nosed, aggressive defensive play.<br><br>Though the name was born in the 1940s, it saw a massive, permanent pop-culture resurgence during the 1985 Chicago Bears season. Led by defensive coordinator Buddy Ryan&apos;s revolutionary &quot;46 defense&quot; and Hall of Fame players like Mike Singletary, Dan Hampton, and Richard Dent, the &apos;85 team terrorized opposing quarterbacks on their way to a 15-1 record and a Super Bowl XX victory. For many modern sports fans, this is the exact era that defines the &quot;Monsters&quot; nickname.

  No, Walter was the best Bear of all time, but Butkus is definitely in the pantheon
