If anybody can beat it, Buddy can.

All the best, coach.

God was hoping to eradicate Buddy before he spread. But it’s too late now.

Reminiscing about the great Buddy Ryan also made me think about the irony that I personally live in places when they won so many championships. for example.
1. I was in HS in Chicago when George Halas’ Bears won the NFL Championship in 1963
2. I was a student at the U of Wisconsin during 4 consecutive Vince Lombardi led Green Bay Packer Championships (including the 1st 2 Super Bowls)
3. I lived in Cincinnati When Sam Wyche led the Bengals to their only SuperBowl appearance
4. I lived in Chicago for my personal favorite Da’ 85 Bears!
5. I lived in Indianapolis when the Colts snuck into town in the dead of night. And until last September, was in business partnership and commuted to Indy during both Colts Super Bowl runs.
6. Have lived in Boston for 5 Patriot SuperBowls (1 by Parcells and 4 by Belichick).

That’s a lifetime of Championships (14) I have witnessed as a home town fan. But Buddy’s was my treasure.

Here or in heaven, just remember always that “Buddy’s watching you.” The greatest music video of all time.

I am a life long Bears fan. I grew up in Chi-Town. And I was there in 85 for the SuperBowl win over Boston (where I ironically have lived for the past 17 years. Buddy is one of my very favorites. And my heart goes out to him and his family. He is indeed a crusty old fighter. In fact I never forgave Mike Ditka for forcing him out of Chicago and replacing him with old “Bend, don’t Break” DC Vince Tobin. That change was the main reason that great Bears team only won 1 SuperBowl. They easily had the talent to win 2-3. GodSpeed Buddy!

While Buddy was always the guy you want to hate at times like these I wish his family well and hope that rex does not put his or anyone elses foot in his mouth

While this is sad, if Buddy Ryan passes, he can settle the score with Dave Duerson for spreading malicious racially charged gossip about him.

I am sure I can speak for most Eagles fans when I say Philly’s thoughts and prayers go out to you buddy.

Buddy is a salty SOB but I saw a piece once on him and his second wife who I think had Alzheimer’s. Whole different side to him. I hope he beats this.

If I were Buddy Ryan I’d be telling Rex to STFU. None of his promises ever pan out.

Best regards to Buddy…….Eagles fans will never forget that defense….Ever….It’s funny how Andy Reid has won many playoff games in Philly, and Buddy never won one….But Buddy’s popularity far outshines the corporate entity Reid is…..To quote Buddy…..”hell, i don’t know, ask the guy in france”….

When he does biofeedback, he calls the cancer “Gilbride.”
