Admittedly my post was a post Patriots game, pre-Halloween drunken trolling but why delete it? A lot of Republican snow flakes on here

Congrats Bill - we're the luckiest fan base in the league.

I hope Shula rolls over in his grave when BB takes him down.

To paraphrase BB « no HC I’d rather have »

This is a little bit of a big deal. But you wouldn't know it from the postgame.

Congrats, Bill.

I met George Halas in 1981, a couple years before he died. This was back in my newspaper reporting days and I brought my copy of Halas's autobiography to the Soldier Field press box hoping to get it signed. During pregame warmups I walked to the owner's box area and asked if he was available. His son-in-law, Ed McCaskey, said, "Well, that's up to Mr. Halas." Then I saw George turn in his seat down front and motion to me saying, "Come in, come in." I shook his hand, handed him the book and he asked my name, pulling a pen from his suit jacket. He autographed it to me personally; excellent handwriting, by the way. And I remember he had big hands. That was my encounter with the man who invented the National Football League in 1920, 102 years ago.

I see 2 separate things.

We can be happy for coach for his lifetime achievement and what it's done for this franchise. It's fantastic and I'm grateful. Nobody I'd rather have on the sidelines for us. This is a thread to celebrate that, and it oughta have nothing but good things in it.

Bittersweetness about today is completely separate.
