The OP said players on other teams. I'm an Astros fan. It goes without saying that I really wish Biggio and Bagwell had both won rings.

I don't think there is anybody, but I'm glad Watler Payton got one now, after I realize what he meant to the NFL after i grew up. Class act, man.

You won't make it to page 2 without tearing up.

I own it and could never finish it. sad as hell. Hard to believe as a vikings fan, that my favorite player in NFL history is a bear.

You can admire someone while not caring for the team. I loved Dumars as a player and wanted everyone involved with that organization dead. He was one of the good guys. Oh, and Favre. Goddammit he was a Bear killer as a Packer, but I just liked the way the guy played.

The Bears already have baby favre.

Yes, and even though his team beat my team it was nice to see Payton get one. Too bad Ditka gave the goal line carry to Perry instead of Sweetness.

I can't remember a Bears team in my lifetiime where I've just wanted to punch them right in the face. And I lived through 70s bad Bears. I just want to hit that fucking looking right off Cutler's face. Smack the dumb off Johnny Knox's grill. When the 3 best fucking players on an nfl team are the long snapper, punter and place kicker, you got issues.

My favorite player of all time in any sport. I am and was a Pats a fan. Payton made me a Bears fan, though in hindsight I guess I was really only rooting for him.
