+1 to J'Mtacos Webb being a worthless slab of spam.
My favorite of all time is Tom Waddle. Absolutely fearless dude.
such good announcing. Not like the shit nowadays.
Fearless dude, but just not that good at football. He's quite good on ESPN.
My favorite Bears player of all time is Peanut Tillman. A guy who, even in this modern era when we've seen everything, pioneered a 'thing' - the Peanut Punch - that was unique, had not been seen before, and way immediately attempted to be replicated by other players. It's been over 10 years since he started doing that regularly. Hundreds of dbs have played in the league in that time and NONE have been able to replicate what he did.
A great personality who will be a great announcer/color guy for years to come and more importantly a REALLY fucking good dude.
But for me, it's off the field. Our friends had a VERY sick child who was at Children's the entire time Peanut's daughter was. As a result, the kids became great friends and the parents got to know each other well. The mom and Peanut's wife Jackie basically became best friends and almost 10 years later, Peanut and his family still show up at our friends little guy's birthday parties, etc. One time, Peanut brought a bunch of REALLY cool gifts for all the kids at the party - forgot what they were, but I remember it was a 'holy shit, that's awesome' moment.
There have been a lot of great players in the NFL. The percentage of those players that are great human beings in a tiny fraction. Peanut Tillman is one of the best ever and for that, he gets my vote for favorite player.
