"When I played pro football, I never set out to hurt anyone deliberately;
Unless it was, you know, important, like a league game or something.
When I hit a guy, I wanted him to know who hit him without his even having to look around and check a number."
Dick Butkus.
"Butkus hit me so hard my body almost liquefied.
He helps me up and says:
"You Ok?"
I said:
"Yeah of course."
Butkus says:
"Well if you’re OK, why are you in our huddle?"
He’d hit me so hard I’d followed him into the Bears huddle.
Butkus turned me around and sent me back."
