McMichael, nicknamed “Mongo”, was an important part of the 1985 Bears defense. He earned All-Pro honors for the Bears’ Super Bowl-winning team. McMichael finished his career with 95 sacks and 838 tackles. He earned All-Pro honors five times, two on the first team.
McCaskey inherited the Bears from her father, George Halas, in 1983. She was the owner during the team’s only Super Bowl victory for the 1985 season. They’ve been rebuilding ever since. Her son and chairman of the Bears, George McCaskey, has said this offseason that the project won’t be completed anytime soon.

Virginia McCaskey does not come close to deserving this, McMichael does and it is a sham he and Hester are not already there.

What has Virginia honestly done to deserve that?
Inherited a team from daddy because of the death of a sibling? https://t.co/QuhzCY2urO
