Always remembered. Forever honored. 🤍
Today, we celebrate the life and legacy of Pat Tillman on what would have been his 50th birthday.
In his first 10 snaps as a Bear, Jeffery Simmons had 3 tackles, a sack and a QB pressure, per @NextGenStats

We lost this great Dad, Brother, Mentor, Leader, and Friend 6 years ago today.
May your legacy always shine bright, Coach Bonds. 🕯️
Kyler Gordon is now on pace for 32 sacks this season. That’s completely accurate, don’t bother doing the math yourself.

Kudos to the camera man. He decided NOPE - ain’t letting him pull this shit. Not today. Not on my watch.
Dan Quinn on Terry McLaurin: Concern and fear is its significant injury but doesn’t have update. Will get scans tomorrow.

A few days after Mike Ditka was fired by #Bears CEO Michael McCaskey he went to the WBBM-TV studios and did his final show for the station which they named, The Final Ditka Show...

Funny personal story I have about the late GOAT Mike Ditka...
When I was a toddler, my parents and I were on a flight and #MikeDitka happened to be on the flight a few years after the 1985 superbowl win.
My mom passed him in the aisle and I waved to him, and he said to my mom, "She's a beautiful little girl!" My mom said, "Oh just wait..."
In front of DA Coach she says, "Faran, who is the President of the United States?" ... I go, "Mike Ditka!"
20 years later when I danced for his team "The Chicago Rush," I met him at his Ditka's Steakhouse in downtown Chicago.
Upon meeting him, I go, "I actually met you when I was about 3 years old on a plane with my parents." He goes, "Wait, you're not the little girl who said I was the President of the United States, are you?" I told him, "Indeed I am."
He gave me the biggest hug and said, "I don't think you realize, I told everyone in my family that happened... I have been telling that story for decades! What a full circle moment that now you dance for the team!"
Rest in power Coach! You are and always will be a legend.

Before he became the Super Bowl-winning head coach of the #Bears, Mike Ditka was a tight end who helped redefine the position.
Several years ago, @North2North, @DavidHaugh and @JeffJoniak recognized what made Ditka special. 🐻

Tony Kornheiser & @RealMikeWilbon are consistently great on @PTI, but their best work is when they eulogize a legendary sports figure and put that person's life in perspective... just as they did when they wrote award-winning columns in their newspaper days.
Today on Mike Ditka:

"Mike Ditka loved Frank Sinatra and he would quote the song My Way all the time..
He embodied that song and he lived exactly as he wanted to..
I genuinely loved him and he was as iconic and as connected to a city as any sports figure has ever been" ~ @Espngreeny #PMSLive
"Mike Ditka appeared on Mike & Mike every Monday for at least 15 years & we got to know him extraordinarily well..
He was as Mike Ditka in private as he was in person..
He had the biggest heart of anyone you could possibly come across" ~ @Espngreeny #PMSLive
