It was neither of these... He was simply "tackled" in a playoff game vs Cincinnati and the poor guy hanging on to his leg pulled his hip completely out of socket with the tackle...If I remember correctly, playing both baseball and football worn down his hip joints to where he couldn't do it anymore.Maybe part of it, but as I remember correctly he was plastered along the sideline and literally had his hip knocked out of the socket. Never played again, that is contact sports. He's quite the gin player I am told

"Plastered"??? Lol, I love how stories get exaggerated.
Favorite Bear: Dan Hampton, he epitomized everything right about the Bears during the 80s.Great choice! I was just thinking about him. That was an awsome D.
