how can we not talk about family
when family's all that we got?
maybe not exactly along the thread's line, but inspired by today's episode of Domonique Foxworth's podcast, I present

Clyde Douglas "Bulldog" Turner

  • played Center and LB
  • in college he was a Little All American, which is apparently an All American team made up of guys who are deemed too short/light for their position (listed at 6'1 247, which doesn't seem small for the 40s, but maybe he had a growth spurt)
  • in 1945, while on active military duty as a PT drill sergeant for the US Army Air Force, he was given two weeks furlough to play for the Bears in the playoffs
  • once at a party he drunkenly "fell" out of a second story window. when a cop ran over to ask what happened, he reportedly said "I don't know, I also just got here"



Bulldog as an instructor at basic training
