Yesterday was the 10th anniversary of his passing; hard to believe it has been that long. I was at the Bears game yesterday. Nice halftime video tribute and his family addressed the crowd. Hard to think of many athletes with the same combination of talent, determination and class. He is missed.

As someone who didn't root for the Bears, I appreciated his great talent and class. I saw him run through and over some talented defensive lines and backfields.


Just one more sip.

As someone who always roots for the Bears, Walter was a ray of hope on many a substandard team. Sometimes he was the only reason to watch the Bears play!

And to think they didn't let him score in the '85 Super Bowl. Shameful.
