Luckman remains the proverbial king of the "Midway," his crown brimming with championship jewels and brawny metal. He spent games with the Bears, leading the league in passing yards and touchdowns on three separate occasions.
Football didn't look the same back then as it does now. Without millions of people watching the sport and Hollywood-like production surrounding it, the game was fresh; it was grittier—certainly not safer—when Luckman played. This was a man who threw seven touchdown passes in one game, went on to win an MVP award in and retired with four championships under his belt.
Chicago fans will always be grateful for Sid Luckman and his magical right arm. Ernie Banks did a lot for the Chicago Cubs. That's probably why his nickname was "Mr. Banks built his baseball legacy strictly on the North Side of the city. He served all 19 of his seasons in a Cubs uniform.
He entered Major League Baseball as a Cub and retired as one. For that, Banks should be deemed a champion when it comes to the loyalty department. Loyalty is great, but it means nothing without production. Banks didn't let down in that department, either. The longtime shortstop and first baseman belted home runs and knocked home 1, RBI. His work at the plate resulted in two MVPs. When we backtrack a bit and discuss archetypal power hitters, Banks doesn't receive enough recognition.
That particularly stings for Chicagoans because "Mr. Cub" was one of the best to ever do it. Brian Urlacher took over the middle linebacker position for the Chicago Bears in the post-Mike Singletary era.
Urlacher's But the real reason he's on here is because of the defensive system he mastered. The Tampa 2 defense was a defining trait of football in the early s. In that zone-based scheme, having a sound linebacker patrol the middle of the field made the scheme work. Leadership and positional brilliance helped Urlacher and the Bears defense reach the Super Bowl in Even in defeat, he cemented his legacy. The eight-time Pro Bowler should eventually find his way over to Canton, Ohio.
There, he can relax with a gold jacket and reflect on the astounding legacy he put forth in the "Windy City. Bobby Hull leads the Chicago Blackhawks in goals. Stan Mikita edges him out in total points. Mikita was remarkable. Grace, productivity and style held up his year NHL career. Chicago brought that career to life. The Blackhawks and Mikita go hand-in-hand. His dedication to the team—Mikita spent his entire professional playing career in a Blackhawks uniform—was unwavering.
With his skates sharpened, he enjoyed two Hart Memorial Trophies in and At 20 years young, Mikita was also part of the Blackhawks' Stanley Cup-winning campaign. That year, he contributed to the cause, netting 19 goals and 34 assists. In the same conversational vein as Hull, Mikita should never be forgotten on a global or Chicago-based scale.
If you want to talk about hard-hitting linebackers that defined an era, Dick Butkus is your guy. Before Mike Singletary, Brian Urlacher and countless other hawks of the position were making their cases for the Hall of Fame, Butkus invented the gold standard.

From rocking out to Phil Collins and rocking that famous big right hook, Tyson was more than memorable in this one. Throwing eggs at cars, drinking and smoking cigars on the streets of New York — sounds about right for a guy that threw enough temper tantrums on the court to turn them into a full-length movie. Brett Favre mostly played the straight man in this comedy but was still a focal point in this hilarious movie.
His wooing of Mary fails, but his cameo was a massive success. Perhaps knowing what we know about Lance Armstrong now the lying, cheating, manipulating, ETC… his speech might not have been as hilarious or motivational as it was in
