NFL world reacts to Steve McMichael's emotional Hall of Fame enshrinement
Chicago Bears legend Steve "Mongo" McMichael has officially been shrined among the NFL's greatest in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. McMichael, who has been battling ALS over the past few years, was unable to attend Saturday's ceremony in Canton, Ohio. So they brought the Hall of Fame to him and his house in Chicago, which included McMichael wearing his gold jacket and the official unveiling of his Hall of Fame bust.

But Peppers still had a lasting legacy in Chicago, and his four-year stint helped save the Bears core that was on the brink of flaming out.
