Former Chicago Bears defensive lineman and professional wrestler Steve "Mongo" McMichael is entering hospice care after battling Lou Gehrig's Disease since 2021.

He was a ferocious part of a dominant defense that swept the 1985 Chicago team to victory in the Super Bowl. After 15 N.F.L. seasons, he became a pro wrestler.

I promise you, this epitaph that I’m going to have on me now? This ain’t ever how I envisioned this was going to end," he said after his ALS diagnosis.
