I met Mongo once in a bar in Woodstock, IL. He had a drink with me and talked with me for 10 minutes in between his duties at the appearance. When I asked him about his Super Bowl ring, without hesitation he removed it and handed it to me. Like he’s done that 1,000,000 times, because he had. This is a man who was exactly who is, always. No BS. God bless you Steve. You really did hit this life fully.

There is absolutely no lying in the way Mongo speaks. One of the most honest people you'll ever hear. Fight hard Mongo. We'll never stop cheering for you.

So I'm watching for a couple minutes a few people are talking and all of a sudden I realize how one person is talking and answering questions it's Payton, I didn't recognize him at all, I didn't see the beginning of the conference so I didn't see them introduce Walter. What the disease did to his body.

Cheap Shot Green Bay Packer. Love it. A Bear thru and thru. No doubt you are in the prayers of millions of Bear fans.

I saw him from mere feet away at Lambeau when he played for the Packers he was a massive man. This made me so sad I feel for him and his family ❤️ Good to see he still has a sense of humor such a good guy Chicago loves him.

He’s such a good man, still has his great humor, and he’s so wise. it’s so sad to see him so sick. I pray for him and his family. What a great man he is and so blessed to have a great wife 💕

Met Mr. McMicheals at Lake Forest Oasis. He was kind enough to give me and the guys working up there 15-20 minutes of his precious time. We were laughing at the amount of lottery tickets he had in his hand. We talked a lil football and a lil wrestling. Gave us all some great laughs. Don't worry Steve, Mongo! Your going to the PEARLY GATES! Thank you!

Can’t bring myself to watch. Was a fan when he played ball, enjoyed his time in WCW, and respect him always being a man’s man. Just wanted to extend my prayers to him and his family and loved ones. Praying for peace and strength through the struggles to come.

You got my prayers, you were my football hero and i model myself after you, there's a spot in heaven for you. Thanks for the memories.

Lost my friend of 30 years last year, to ALS. Love you, Mongo! And thanks so much for your bravery, and skill on the field!

I grew up a Lions fan, but had mad respect for some of the Bears players. I've lived in Chicagoland for the past 20 years and Mongo is one of the great Bears players and a one of a kind personality. So sad that this is happening to him and other NFL players.

My heart breaks for Steve McMichael. He was such a great defensive player for the Chicago Bears and is such a nice guy.

Man. I didn't even know this happened to Mongo. He was always a beast and I guarantee he'll go out fighting. Prayers!

I know they always say you never know how you are going to react somethung like but IDK, I think I can confidently say that I would be a crying sobbing mess. This guy is a man if I've ever seen one.

Love the simple fact he maintains humor. Knows he had a solid session in life. Doesn’t feel sorry for himself. He understands his circumstances and deals with it. In my book that’s a real mans man. I’m 65 myself so I hope I have a similar attitude.

Damn..I had no idea..we love you Steve

The journey baby is the reward not the destination. God bless you!! Prayers up

For this guy to be as happy and enthusiastic as he is with what he has shows what a great loving guy he is because others would be miserable and mope around so atleast seeing him like this is atleast one positive thing he and family can look at and be proud of keep the faith

@@gia686 really, what are they doing?

So Sad. Mongo was not just great as one of Da Bears, but he was also a member of the Four Horsemen in WCW. I wish Mongo and his family the best. We are all here for you. Godspeed.

What a great attitude! The guy is thrown the worst scenario and he keeps his spirits up until he reaches the pearly gates. God bless him

The irony is I have never seen Steve smile this much. He seems to be at totally at piece with himself and the life he led.

I had no idea. I’m a die hard Bears fan. McMichael was always one of my favs. This breaks my heart to see a man like Mongo have to go through this

What a man. To demonstrate the humor he has, and all in the face of this.

I have nothing but respect for this man. Mike Singletary said that Steve threw a desk across the meeting room after Buddy Ryan told the defensive players he was leaving the Bears for the Eagles the night before Super Bowl XX. That 1985 Bears defense was one of the greatest of all time. Best Wishes to him

I will share: my wife who is 47 has als for 4 plus years now, we have 5 kids. This is so hard to handle as my wife ran the family and was awesome. Now she can’t do anything for anyone to say. We are living a new world and it will never get easier or better. God bless you Steve and your wife and family. A.O.

He still has his same sense of humor despite what he's going through.

It’s a horrible disease, I don’t know how I would respond to the diagnosis, but his sense of humor and no “woe is me” attitude is amazing! God Bless you Mongo, I wish you all the best. Loved you and the other Monsters of the Midway!

What a strong man. Hurts to see him like this....football being my least favorite sport Mongo was a big part of my childhood when he was in WCW. Godspeed legend

"Seek, and ye shall find." Huddle up. Prayers up. God bless.

I'll never forget the time Mongo was being interviewed on the news about an upcoming game, maybe Green Bay, and he said something to the effect of "we got something special planned for them", popped open a switchblade and started picking his teeth with it.

Mr. McMichael, I am, and will always be, a die hard Bears fan, and undoubtedly a Steve McMichael fan. You were, and still are, an incredible Bear. The memories you gave me and so many others as a fan of the 85 Bears is and will always be unmatched. You are a good man. You will always be a good man. And that woman by your side has wings if you look closely. My mom passed in October of 2020 from Dementia. I took care of her entirely by myself leading up to that very day since 2014. I miss her Steven. Steven, I would have loved to have met you. Still do. You are a good man, strong, and you have left forever your mark in football and in the hearts of all fans that admire and love you. God bless you always, and your family. Whatever is the ultimate outcome, fight as you always have to the very end. And afterwards, go on and continue being the soldier you are for all eternity.

My favorite Chicago Bears player along with Hampton, Dent and Otis Wilson. I wish you the best of health Mr. McMichael.

Waler Payton fan here. Hell the whole 85 bears were unbeatable

I am so happy to see that Steve lived long enough to see his induction into the Football HoF. He's always been one of my favorite football players. It's very sad for all of us to see him suffer like this.

One of the things his wife was really hoping he would still hang on till that call came and he has. What scary those when you look at him now and how he has to have ai assistance to talk how fast ALS really is and the fact there's no cure it's even scarier than cancer

LOVE HIS CANDOR. GOD BLESS MONGO.

Man I wish this guy the best ! He's a Chicago Legend and will always think of him ! ..

Such a wonderful spirit. The mind is still fresh.

Wow was never a fan of him when he wrestled. But this hurts 😭 God bless you brother may god bless you at the pearly gates.

You will always be a legend and nothing can ever change that! You are beloved over especially in CHICAGO! We love you King! Keep fighting!👑😎💪🏾💪🏾🖤🙏🏿

Steve, Thank you for all the memories! God bless you Brother!!

I was just watching some WCW dvds and the battles with the Horsemen and NWO was awesome. Mongo was huge! Prayers for his family

Man watching you with Da Bears was so freaking great. God bless you and never give up the fight. Blessings to you and your family.

I remember that team! One of the best football teams ever to take the field! Glad to see he is such good spirits but it’s a shame he and his family has to go through this! Chicago loves you Steve!

What a great sense of humor; but he can offer so much hope to so many other people by his positive approach and his willingness to speak out. God Bless you thank you for your honesty and the joy you bought to all Bears fans.

Gonna be praying for you Mongo. Thankful that your lovely wife is there as your guardian angel.

Mongo’s words are uplifting and INSPIRATIONAL

I remember him from Wcw. He entertaining to watch. Prayers for him.

One word “inspiring”

I remember him and Goldberg going at it back in the day . Now this! Damn , prayers brother .

Oh man, this is heart wrenching. I am praying that his pain is less and less and that his days are brighter and brighter.
