Not a current Bear but given his impact on this franchise, I thought this would be of interest.

Sad news indeed.
Thoughts go out to his family and friends.

It's been interesting since his passing to hear a lot of people in football who had something to do with Buddy, whether they were players, other coaches, etc come out and give their thoughts on the guy and what he did for football as a whole but the Bears specifically. It gives you a better appreciation for the guy and everything he accomplished.

I just watched the 30 for 30 on the 85 Bears. It starts with defensive players on the Bears writing a letter to George Halas saying that if coaching changes are to be made the team should keep Buddy, then it talks about him as a coach, the Bears not winning another Superbowl after he left, and has a lot of scenes of Mike Singletary visiting Buddy at his horse farm.
