Steve McMichael (1957 – 2025 RIP) is an example of how life and health are fleeting.
For many, but not all, one is born and grows into adulthood with full mental and physical abilities (depending on a variety of circumstances a particular individual can possess, or grow to possess such abilities FAR BEYOND THOSE OF MORTAL MEN [aka Superman]). While so possessed an individual can achieve and reach heights never imagined.
Time passes and things change for such an individual, many times the change being a decline. Sometimes change is minimal and gradual. Sometimes change is major and immediate.
Comparing photos of Steve McMichael during his NFL playing days to him at the end of his life illustrates the highs and lows. Injury and illness can strike and bring anyone down off of the mountain top, at any time.
Do not mean to be morose, ........................... just taking a moment from a busy day to smell the roses, appreciate what I have and enjoy the ride as it plays out.
Maybe it's just me but as I was watching the draft last night on NFL Network it dawned on me that they never said a word about the passing of Steve at the beginning of the draft coverage. No mention until the Bears made their pick. This was an NFL hall of famer, and you wait almost an hour into your draft coverage to mention him?

Poor guy has been through the ringer the last few years.
RIP
George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.
Loved it when he told his stories about Buddy Ryan, when Buddy coached the Bears.
RIP
Buddy Ryan gave him that nickname Mongo.
