Exactly one week after he was officially named an inductee to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, former Bears defensive lineman Steve McMichael was rushed to the emergency room with suspected pneumonia Thursday, his family said in a statement. His family said they were asking for prayers for the 66-year-old "Mongo," who has ALS.
McMichael was at home in Homer Glen when he was officially announced as a Hall inductee at NFL Honors in Las Vegas last week.
