He goes to his grave still holding the Bears record for most receptions in a single game. Cripes.

If the 1946 Championship team had formed a tontine, Ed Sprinkle would have walked away with it. The man lives only to spite Huey.

My dad got to know him as both were members at McHenry. Keane was walking the course as recently as the Dick Jauron era. Good guy, and he could tell you some great stories about the Bears of the 40s.
He'd actually get along well with Huey. He probably died muttering about Bobby Layne vs. Johnny Lujack and he also has a certain fondness for the Packers.
Great title.
