CHICAGO (AP) — Steve McMichael always had that big and boisterous persona and a willingness to say whatever was on his mind, so it’s no stretch to think the Chicago Bears great’s Pro Football Hall of Fame induction speech would have been one to remember. “He would cut a scorcher,” his wife Misty McMichael said. “He would have been amazing.” McMichael is in the advanced stages of ALS and won’t be able to make the trip from Homer Glen, Illinois, to Canton, Ohio, for his induction Saturday. He lost his ability to move and speak, though he will deliver a brief and heartfelt message he put together through an eye-gaze device: “Hello Chicago. Thank you, Chicago.” The 66-year-old McMichael is part of a seven-member class that includes former Bears Devin Hester and Julius Peppers.
