Raider Fan here .. God Bless him !!! Loved watching him in WCW and on the field. Mongo is a and will be always a Tuff Bad A** DUDE. I’ll keep you in my prayers !!!
Such a good dude who always embodied strength. So sorry he’s going through this horrible disease but happy he was alive to see himself go into the Hall with Fame 👏
That is a man’s man right there. God bless you Mongo, never watched football but I loved you in WCW, especially on commentary going back and forth with The great Bobby Heenan.
I thought he was a horrible wrestler, but he was more of an entertainer. He was the "enforcer" that walked around with a beautiful woman, a little dog, and a briefcase that stood there and looked tough. He played his part well, and was a good commentator Insane to see this "monster" of a guy in the condition he is in today. Glad he's accomplished so much in his life and has no regrets
Spot on. Finally the HOF and the NFL finally got their shit together and put McMichael in the Hall of Fame before he passes away. McMicheal was deserving of being enshrined and should have been in the Hall decades ago. This honor is terribly long overdue.
Wow, this is just sad. I remember how mad he was at the McCaskey family when he was at the end of his career. And to hear him now give them thanks says a lot about this man. He's lived a great life and deserved more perhaps. But he seems grateful for what he was given.
What a beautiful message Sir. Thank you. I see you will now become a hall of famer. Im happy for you. You seem in acceptance and peace. God be with you.❤
Bear Down, Steve! Thanks for the memories. You guys made us all feel like we were a part of your Championship season, (and family), and all the ups and downs before and after. God Bless you 🙏✝️🙏
Steve has lived his life to the fullest just like the way he played. He is a great human being . Thoughts and prayers for him . You are loved by many Mongo.
Sending prayers to Mongo and to all families who have losses loved ones to this horrible disease. I loss my cousin Carla to this ALS. We love you. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾💙💙 🐻 🏈
As an avid pro football fan, it's hard to imagine these big, strong athletes being stricken with such terrible diseases. But they are mortal too. Dwight Clark died due to ALS a few years ago. Like him, Steve seems to be handling this with such grace, expressing more concern for others than for himself. I do pray for you.
@@CoachTR Sadly he passed away in 2018 at just 61 years old. Even though I didn't personally know these guys, it's heart-breaking to see your heroes taken so early.
never was a bears fan but after watching this i realized just how precious life is and what a short time on this earth is for some of us god bless you michael and many others going thru this
The speed of his decline is stunning and sad. We all need to realize these guys are literally sacrificing their health for our entertainment. Safety has improved some but you can bet this is still going on under the radar. As a KC fan I didn't follow him like I should, but always knew he was a beast. Bless the friends and family of this true Hall of Famer
You can’t prevent injuries from happening in a contact sport like tackle football. I’m sure you’ll love when the NFL officially turns to flag football. ALS isn’t derived from a helmet to helmet hit let alone a tackle 😂😂😂
@@MrTrojan72 I didn't mean to imply ALS was from his football days, if you took it that way. I worked with a guy that played for the Seahawks for almost a decade and he was a beast as well. The hits to the head have taken a toll on him and he's not even 60, struggling with basics things in life.
They are not sacrificing their health for our entertainment. Total bs. They do it for love of game and livelihood. I've never heard a football player say I went into the sport because I wanted to help others through entertainment.
My brothers deteriorated pretty rapidly as well. He passed 28 months after diagnosis. It's been 20 years this past June. Not a single day goes by that I don't appreciate those 28 months as well as the 43 years before that. I miss my best friend.
I don’t know if words can capture it, maybe watching the old game footage and the cameras panning the crowds can capture it. What Mongo and the rest of that team created was feeling good, feeling excited, positive, energized, full of life. That 85 Superbowl and that era meant a lot to my dad as grown man, and to me as a kid at the time, and meant a lot to so many Bears fans. I wish for comfort and happy memories for McMichael as he faces ALS now.
As a strange breed of an existing fan of both Bears and Packers combined; I am truly saddened by this humble man being stricken by this disease. I saw him play and he was a privilege to watch. And now I am cheering him on again. My prayers go out to 'Mongo' and his family. God bless you sir!
I will pray for you Sir, please get well YOU ARE ONE OF THE GREATEST PLAYERS IN THE HISTORY OF THE NFL 💪💪💪💪❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 Always Keep a positive attitude Love you for all you've done for everyone 💪💪❤❤🙏🙏
Mike was the rock in the middle of the Chicago D.He was fast off the ball and a huge disruption in opposing teams back field.Miss those years of him playing.He gave his all on every down.
@Carl B....I am a life long Bears Fan. The Pack and Da Bears have battled for years, but u my friend just displayed what a true Packer fan is to us Bear fans.....Class 👍🏽
Wow brother Much Love from OhiO Sending loving healing energy your way🙏🏼🙏🏿💪🏼💪🏿 I suffered from 3 bad knock out head concussions in a 4 month period when I was 13, and have suffered ALOT everyday from it. But what you said I'm starting to finally see as well, Compassion truly helps see the greatness in everyone❤️❤️ Bear Down BEAR FAMILY Much Love from OhiO Namaste 🙏🏼🙏🏿
Admiring the bravery and amazingly none of this " why me?" Life sure isn't fair. And God Bless you too Jarrett. Your dad is always wirh you and proud of you as can be ❤🙏
We Love you Brother Mongo no matter what your health is now you are a warrior and will always will be a warrior. Keep it tight and right mentally but after seeing you speak to Jared your doing that. GO BEARS 🐻!!
Prayers for you and your family Mr. McMichael.... not easy seeing you like this, much less any of the greats of yesterday. Prayers for you sir💯💯💯I’m a giants fan but I’m a league fan more so...and we love you all.
Steve I watched you play when I was young. You were a beast. People know how great you were. Keep up the good fight brother. From a lifelong Steelers fan. 🙏
I love you, Steve, and though I am late to the game, I pray for your healing, and congratulations to you for making the Hall of Fame! I love you, Steve!
I’m five foot nothing at one hundred and nothing. We share the same last name and when I played ball people would ask if I was related to the Great MONGO. All I would say is I have the blood of a Mc Michael and they carried the last guy I hit off the field. MONGO you have ALLWAYS been my #1 Inspiration to push hard and conquer. God Bless.
It's crazy how life can take unexpected turns. He was so big and strong on the field, and he was a big tough wrestler in WCW. Now he's dwindled into almost nothing and bedridden. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or Lou Gehrig’s disease, is a cruel illness that causes the motor neurons inside your spinal cord to die. Over time, your muscles degenerate and you become a prisoner in your own body - progressively losing the ability to move, speak, swallow and, eventually, breathe. There is no cure. No one has ever gotten better after a diagnosis of ALS. The battle is almost over. Prayers to him.
I never had the opportunity, to see McMichael's play in the NFL. But in the ring at WCW. McMichael's was awesome. Some of his promos, as a wrestler and an announcer was hilarious. Especially, when he was part of the horseman. Great individual. God bless him and his family.
Damn mongo I been fan from your days with bears. Then when become wrestler I got watch every week. Thank you for lifetime great memories. And I wish you best and congratulations on your hof . It's been over due for some years

Is heart wrenching to see the man in such shape.
I'm glad he called it by the disease's name Lou Gehrig disease someone who also battled with the same thing 😢
😢
@@jameshhenderson8243 BUT HE GOT THE HOF BUST!!! MING THE MERCILESS!
The man done more that most of us, hes a superbowl champion and a Four Horseman. Absolute legend.
So ??
@@Mr.paint123So show some respect Bozo! 🤡
Mr. McMichael is handling this like a true warrior. God bless him and watch over him.
I have too much respect for this man now. Realizing and acknowledging weirdly everything happens for a reason shows true intellect imo
Well stated Steve. You are a true and honest human being. This country needs more like you. God bless you.
What a POWERFUL interview. Bless Mongo,and all who suffer. ❤️
Raider Fan here .. God Bless him !!! Loved watching him in WCW and on the field. Mongo is a and will be always a Tuff Bad A** DUDE. I’ll keep you in my prayers !!!
My prayers go out to Steve McMichael and his family. He is a very brave man.
How are prayers going to help this man? If there is a God, he gave him this horrible disease. WTF is wrong with you?
Such a good dude who always embodied strength. So sorry he’s going through this horrible disease but happy he was alive to see himself go into the Hall with Fame 👏
He was part of one of my happiest times. 85 Bears were awesome. Prayers for him.
Mine also
This is perhaps the best video clip I've seen. Leave this on up on youtube forever. Bless Steve.
That is a Chicago Bear! God bless him.
Yeah. God blessed him with this horrible disease.
Even during his WcW days, Mongo always represented the Chicago Bears HARD! Himself, Dent, Hampton, and the Fridge...best front four ever.
Nah I would take the gang green from the Eagles . White , Simmons , Brown , Golic
Steel Curtain GOAT
@@joeshields2005Steel Curtain GOAT
Just wow, I never knew how wise and courageous Steve has become in the face of his diagnosis. That's poise and character. God bless this man.
Don’t worry. Diamonds 💎 are forever, and so are the Four Horseman. What he said at the end is priceless.
We all love who grew up watching you in Chicago. Congratulations on the HALL.
I just lost a brother in law to ALS. I feel so bad for Steve. I pray they find a cure for this horrible disease.
So sorry for your loss 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾😔
Sorry for your Loss as well. May God Grany You and Your Family Peace.
@@adrienneflowersscott9290
AMEN MY SISTER.
I’m so very sorry! I lost my granny to it in 1999.
It is a wicked disease.😢
Steve hit the nail on the head, Compassion. I totally agree with him, may GOD Bless You Steve. Keeping you and your family in our prayers 🙏🙏
That is a man’s man right there. God bless you Mongo, never watched football but I loved you in WCW, especially on commentary going back and forth with The great Bobby Heenan.
Bobby “The Stain” Heenan
My heart truly goes out to this great man and one of the best defensive players on that awesome Chicago Bear team.
Pray for Mongo. He looks like another person
Well said Mongo. You're a good man. Bless you my friend.
I remember this guy in WCW and he was an amazing wrestler I feel so sorry for him but as long as you keep going that's the main thing god bless
I thought he was a horrible wrestler, but he was more of an entertainer. He was the "enforcer" that walked around with a beautiful woman, a little dog, and a briefcase that stood there and looked tough. He played his part well, and was a good commentator
Insane to see this "monster" of a guy in the condition he is in today. Glad he's accomplished so much in his life and has no regrets
Even as a lifelong Green Bay Packers fan. I wish him and his family the best!
Who gives a shit if you are a Packer fan!
I'm sure you ment well. But that comment came off horrible.
@@thehealthychefri Really?......
Didn't Mongo also play for the Packers? 🤔
Who cares who you follow! This sport is claiming lives and the NFL does not care!
You are a warrior Mongo. Congratulations on your HOF induction. Truly long overdue
Spot on. Finally the HOF and the NFL finally got their shit together and put McMichael in the Hall of Fame before he passes away. McMicheal was deserving of being enshrined and should have been in the Hall decades ago. This honor is terribly long overdue.
What a warrior... A pleasure watching you work Steve all those years. God bless and our prayers are out for you...
Loved watching him play as a kid , I’m crying right now , God bless Steve and his loved ones and all of those affected by this devastating disease
Wow, this is just sad. I remember how mad he was at the McCaskey family when he was at the end of his career. And to hear him now give them thanks says a lot about this man. He's lived a great life and deserved more perhaps. But he seems grateful for what he was given.
Dear Lord touch him with your healing hand and out stretched arms of Love and compassion
Amen
Amen.

Prayers for Mongo one of the nicest tough guys. 🙏
God Bless him what a fine man. And bless his family and the Chicago Bears too. Walter's son is fantastic!
never was a bears fan but after watching this i realized just how precious life is and what a short time on this earth is for some of us god bless you michael and many others going thru this
A Bears fan since 1969...this guy one of the VERY BEST Bears in history. LOVE this man! #76
Hall of Famer!
Great football player and hell of a man. God bless.
He is such a strong person. He went from tackling quarterbacks to being tackled by ALS.
Payton God rest his soul,greatest man in sports, that's why there's a reward named after him.
Steve is in my prayers 🙏
The speed of his decline is stunning and sad. We all need to realize these guys are literally sacrificing their health for our entertainment.

Awesome interview. Steve was very articulate and inspirational. Prayers and God bless.
My idol for 8 years of my life! God bless you and thank you for sharing your talents and life.
The passion he exuded while wrestling was an absolute pleasure to watch. He was truly having fun out there, and it showed.
It’s sad. He signed a autograph for me at the auto show a few years back. Great man As a little boy I really looked up to him and all the bears.
We stand with you! All the best for you.
My brothers deteriorated pretty rapidly as well. He passed 28 months after diagnosis. It's been 20 years this past June. Not a single day goes by that I don't appreciate those 28 months as well as the 43 years before that. I miss my best friend.

Very wise man, deep, totally a champion mindset, one of the greats from the 85 roster and Bears legacy! Such a shame on his ALS
