CHICAGO — Steve McMichael always had a boisterous persona and a willingness to say whatever was on his mind, so it's no stretch to think the Chicago Bears great's Pro Football Hall of Fame induction speech would have been one to remember. His wife Misty says he would have "cut a scorcher." McMichael is in the advanced stages of ALS and won't be able to make the trip to Canton, Ohio, for his induction on Saturday. The 66-year-old McMichael is part of a seven-member class that includes former Bears Devin Hester and Julius Peppers. The two-time All-Pro defensive tackle played in a franchise-record 191 consecutive games from 1981 to 1993 and ranks second to Richard Dent on the Bears' all-time sacks list with 92 1/2.
