One NFL Films clip that stands out (and there are many) was Butkus' hit on Charlie Sanders at Wrigley Field back in the late '60's. On the play Butkus wiped out Sanders and one of his own teammates like they were bowling pins. Butkus personified the NFL's "Black and Blue" division. R.I.P. ...

1) The Chicago Blitz in 1984 had Dennis Shaw as their backup QB. Shaw last played football in 1975. 2) Luther Bradley of the Blitz played two games against the Tampa Bay Bandits in 1983. In those two games, Bradley intercepted Bandit QBs 8 times. Those are some really interesting factoids. In the A...
