"The Chicago Bears are going to be well-represented at the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s Class of 2024 induction.

Devin Hester, Steve McMichael, and Julius Peppers are Hall of Fame-bound, per a pair of Thursday evening reports. Jack Silverstein and Bill Zimmerman (Windy City Gridiron), as well as Jason Lieser (Sun-Times) are spreading the good news."

That is FANTASTIC news. I'm happy for McMichael in particular due to his ALS battle. And I worried that Hester might not make it, but glad he did. I never doubted Peppers would make it.

WFLD 32 (Fox Chicago) has a YouTube video on this as well. It rips me up to see how ALS has just decimated the guy. So, I won't post it. I'd much rather remember Mongo as MONGO.

I never understood why Alex Karras was named Mongo in Blazing Saddles. They used the wrong guy.

Boy.... Memories fade. Watching those vignettes of a swarming defense brings back memories. That was just a smothering defense. Jeez..... It was brutal. Love it

Yup. In my mind, just about every single one of those starters should be in the HOF.

(The married ones too)

At this point, 7 out of the 22 starters are in the HOF.
