Mike Singletary "Winning" Hall of Fame Speech | NFL Network

"It is a war everyday, and you just have to make a decision whether you want to be a part of it, and whether you want to win."
Super Bowl XX Champion Mike Singletary talks about coming from the ghetto, who and what made him a Hall of Famer with the Chicago Bears, and the most important people in his life during his 1998 Hall of Fame induction speech.

Mike Singletary was a Great player, is a Great man, and a Great and honorable American.

[@tanmarketingchannel3436]

That 1985 team was ferocious !!

[@TheViking1980]

Class act and one of the greatest linebackers of all time

[@joebondo2422]

I’ve been saying for about 10 years now Mike Singletary can turnaround the Bears franchise back to greatness. He went through his growing pains as a coach. It’s time for the McCaskey’s to bring Mike back home

[@bprice2784]

Totally agreed.

[@richardgeisel4290]

Love the guy, no.

[@jimmiebutler2212]

Agree

[@raul9576]

Wow. One of the best speeches ever.

[@Lmarion21]

much respect for one of the greatest linebackers of all-time! Played with fire, intensity and passion every single down!

[@arciefan]

Great , great middle linebacker, and great , great man. Love ya Mike!

[@mannyortega1509]

this man is and will forever be legendary

[@michaelbutny7020]

What a class act!!!!!! We need more people like Mike in this world.

[@brakel8r]

Was an honor to shake this mans hand I was working the Chicago auto show....he took the time to give me one more memory of the 85 Bears. Thanks and God bless

[@watsonvillian]

When I was 5 years old..I went to the Oakland mall and MS was there signing autographs for some charity event. I still have that autograph...and still remember that big old scary looking guy with the big smile. What a great player and guy he was. One of the toughest of all time.

[@tuckercarlsonsmicropenis1283]

The whole Christian thing notwithstanding, Singletary would’ve made a great Raider!

[@thatfatkidwhoplaysball3851]

Such an amazing speech

[@RG2Highlights]

I know man

[@mattm3729]

Am I wrong or does Mike sound literally exactly the same as Larry Holmes

[@flamwork06]

Probably my favorite coach period

[@ellisjames7192]

I have tears in my eyes as I listen to this speech. Hella speech.

[@antimurphy8212]

Me too. Balling my eyes out. Beautiful speech. He's strong willed and determined from the age of 12!

[@p28-e7j]

I'd have run through hell itself with this guy next to me! This is what class looks like ladies and gentlemen.

[@nestlund]

Class Act. This man had it figured out. Now rap and the absence of the father in the home has taken over.

[@xanderluv]

Damn I started crying.

[@ellisjames7192]

You cannot make me believe that this man's words could not inspire a team.

[@TimfromChicago]

What a speech he gave and he's forever the best linebacker I ever saw.Things that can't be done today such as breaking helmets.He stated he lost a step but if you ever seen him play you never once saw it.He defined Chicago Bear Football and continues to be an incredible leader today.He got a bum rap in San Fran but he needs to coach again.

[@antimurphy8212]

Not a Bear fan, but Singletary was the best linebacker I have ever seen play the game!

[@richardgeisel4290]

Love the guy, he’s like fifth on our linebacker list. No disrespect intended

[@pjali186]

Such an amazing guy such a positive person

[@Hollywood-cd9cv]

Sometimes the wrong people teach you about God...then there is this MAN

[@alexamerling79]

Samurai Mike! Absolute legend. 🐻 down!

[@Hollywood-cd9cv]

Amen! This man has the Holy Spirit within him. In the hour of your need,he will be there.

[@juniorpena4642]

His voice is the sound of authority like with a certain teacher at School or coach♥️

[@timwilsey3655]

This genius , amazing man who played with a heart as big as his brain was chastised for his way he coached and led, I`d give my left arm to have him coach my team

[@AngeryProphet]

Awesome classmate...awesome man!!!

[@OKandNOWwhat]

Jesus Christ is the most important. But you have to make Him important for yourself. If you do not give Him your time, attention, and love, then you will not understand or fully experience His powerful Love. Give yourself to Him today and each day hereafter.

[@brianvivickers3712]

OKandNOWwhat: Amen

[@jackw05]

Jesus isn’t real lol

[@tuckercarlsonsmicropenis1283]

“Anotherwords”, uh, um, err, BE THE CHANGE YOU WANT TO SEE, HAVE FAITH (in “whatever works for you”), THINK POSITIVELY... No middleman needed. We used to think that priests/ministers were the “middlemen”, but upon further inspection, Jesus is just a middleman himself. OR We are really all just a tiny part of the Soul Of The Universe, the SPIRITUS MUNDI, and having faith in “Jesus Christ” is really just having faith in YOURSELF... Again, WHATEVER WORKS, Whatever Gets You Through The Night...is alright. It’s alright...

[@TehJew22]

Amen. 🙏🏻

[@mpres1973]

@@jackw05 What? Are you kidding? My question to you is, what if He is? We already know He's real and lived after Caesar which I guess wasn't real either but you see in my 50 years I finally figured you people out that day this. First it doesn't stop anybody, once someone finds God theirs nothing that can ever I find Him again. Here's what Ive figured out about y'all and yes your cowards. What if He is real? Now we know He is but what if. Here's your problem. You still wouldn't follow Him, even if God made an exception and came to you whichever way He wants, you still wouldn't want Him. I've realized that's y'all's problem, it's not believing, that's a cowards answer. It's knowing even if He was you still wouldn't want Him. But do me a favor, keep your independence to yourself, you don't have to lie and ruin it for people that need Him. Just shut up, believe in nothing or whatever, I don't care but do not try to ruin the others who are getting ready for their journey. Ty, MP

[@cowtowntx.6740]

after the first year in peewee football, i seen him play and changed my number to #50 & changed my position to LB... nuff said...

[@billkaravites3024]

Passion !!!!!!

[@jertellpalmer8819]

I can't do it! I want winners!

[@gino82marrone]

Godbless him

[@bigmack2x68]

Great"Great🥊🥊💯💯

[@gyterdoneJP7315]

I still see his fire and passion, to not coax him back as a coach on the D even as LB coach is insane. Especially a D that has lost a step. Do it, do it.....

[@ericlou3405]

One of the best Middle Line Backers ever, also Ray Lewis

[@brt-jn7kg]

He was the terror of the South West Conference as a Baylor Bears.

[@pdgutierrez8784]

Mike Singiletary needs to be coachinf in the NFL. if Ron Rivera can make it, i am sure Mike can make it!

The very first celebrity, and member of the 85-Bears that I took a photo-portrait of.

[@bnegs521]

Singletary mooned the crowd after the speech ended.

[@Daniel-il1dj]

Shut up

[@gideonfifty6104]

I want winners !!

[@morecowbell235]

When you are deployed and watch people you know have their life extinguished from one minute to the next, you have what I feel is appropriate perspective. Football isn't war..

[@NobodyUR]

Young kids who play MLB need to watch Mike's career closely. He knew the other teams offense better than they did most the time. And those GD eyes pre snap lol dude didn't miss anything by blinking that's for sure lol

[@bobbymarsh1]

its a shame that the chicago bears have not had former players such as Rivera or Singletary as coach and def coordinator, damn shame, I'd hire all former bears for coaching positions

[@shaskins15]

Whos the old head in the back slitting his wrists @ 12:05

[@Mr.limgabal]

Why tf am I just finding out he’s in the hall of fame how did he even get in

[@wholesomecomment45]

Probably the greatest linebacker ever during his time, yes even better than Lawrence Taylor who is freaking amazing as well.

Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ ❤️😇😓

[@johnbasedow8973]

Great speech but to be fair playing football is not a war at all. Very few have died playing the game of football. War is ugly. Death is common. Football is a game.

[@robertridley1029]

Many people died in the early days of football when it was played under different rules and less protective equipment. A lot of players have recently died after playing football because of the damage it did to their bodies, particularly head trauma. There are many former players who say they won't let their sons play for that reason. Did you play football? If not you don't get to tell them it's not like war. Have you ever watched football (you do know this isn't soccer right)? I have. And it was enough to know I didn't want to play because of how vicious a sport it is. If you want to ask why people would go through all of that for a game, that would be more valid than the comment you made.

[@johnbasedow8973]

Robert Ridley ya i player college football actually and it is brutal and i got concussions, stingers, torn ligaments. Still not war.

[@robbyrobinson4500]

Blah, blah, blah

[@mpres1973]

War can be anywhere and anything, you ain't figured that out by now? You think evil just has one weapon against you??? CT

[@discernment8963]

What do you the % of current NFL, NBA etc players who'd have comprehension of Mr.Singeltary's speech here as if it were THE most obscure dialect of Latin there's ever been?.........
