Any ideas on Dick Butkus?

Hi,
Any viewers here have any thoughts, ideas, and or any information on Dick Butkus?
-All that I know is that it came from the south side of Chicago around 1974-75, there are no additional markings or promotional listings on it.
Thank you.
My Tudor electric football boards are not for sale, nor is the cleaner looking baseball bat; that came from Comiskey Park on “Bat Day” Ron LeFlore 1982.

    He looks much smaller since he retired. ;-)

    Quite simply, Mr. Butkus was the epitome of what a defensive player should be. Never saw a better middle linebacker and never will again.

    I would agree. You never know about the future, but you are most likely correct.

    Butkus was a beast and may be the best of his era, but don't overlook Nick Buoniconti. There were so many HOFers on the Dolphins that he gets lost in the mix but he was a huge part of that defense. And, his years on the Dolphins weren't his best years. He spent his prime years on Boston and was a beast himself.

    This is for you @thisistheshow - Jim Rice was actually a pretty good player.
