I had no idea Steve was even going through this. I saw him in person back in 2010 or 2011, and he was still larger than life. To see him like this when I was thinking he was still completely healthy, is kind of sad but I'm glad he is much closer to getting in the hall. Prayers go out to him and his family.

The names of Hampton, Singletary, Dent, Perry, Fencik, Wilson and mostly certainly McMichael will forever be etched in my childhood memories. The greatest defense in NFL history. Thank you Mongo.

He may be similar to Bobby Heenan, who did not want to be hidden away despite his failing condition. When things like this happen to famous people it brings more attention to the disease

@jasonmaruszak812 6 ай бұрын

Because it’s important for to many families to give that loved one exposure to others for maybe the last time- why hide? Looked like he was happy for the company. And it also answers the question- ‘how’s Steve doing’, when people ask her- doesn’t it? I had an uncle with a very similar disease lived in my house growing up

McMichael deserved that HOF long time ago. I think he is well deserving. It's too bad they didn't give him the HOF back then. This way he could have talked and said what he wanted to and be able to enjoy it more. Just give the guy what he so deserves. Sick or not! We love you Mongo. It's very said to see him or any others going through this kind of situation. Minus the HOF.
