  • I love and admire and respect you very much big Mike, and I'm a Bears fan.

  • when i was in the 3rd grade a year after his injury me and my friend wrote him a letter and we received a hand written letter from his mother.

  • I was at the game when he was paralyzed

  • Spielman was the best

  • Mike

    Did you work with Aaron Mattes and what do you think of his technique? Did it help you?

    bp

  • that was crazy too with Brown i was at the game. Its a shame he woulda been a great linebacker.

  • What does Mister Utley think of the zero and sixteen Detroit Lions?

  • No, he didn't die, but became paralyzed. The entire team was inspired and the year became the "Thumbs Up" year, because Mike gave the thumbs up as he was carted off the field.

  • In 1971, Chuck Hughes (WR) died on the field from a heart attack.

    Reggie Brown went down with a neck injury in 1997 and needed mouth to mouth on the field. His career ended, however he is not paralyzed.
