Description

Few athletes transform as synonymous with their town as Doug Buffone was once with Chicago. Though he came from the hard hills of Pennsylvania, he came to embody the whole thing Chicagoans love. 
 
Doug was once taken too young, passing away unexpectedly on April 20, 2015, in a while after finishing this book with famed sportscaster Chet Coppock. Doug’s was once a life well-lived—he was once tough enough for Papa Bear George Halas and never afraid to speak his mind. Doug Buffone lived life his way and pulled no punches. 
 
He grew up in Yatesboro, Pennsylvania, and found his way to the Chicago Bears by means of the Louisville Cardinals. And although he played with Hall of Famers like Dick Butkus and Gale Sayers, Doug never experienced championships as he battled through the brutal NFL of the 1970s. But in many ways it was once after his career that Doug achieved greatness, because that’s when the radio introduced us to the fiery, hilarious “Uncle Doug” that we all came to love. 
 
He felt every Bears win and loss with to-the-bone passion. He lived his life fully and in his book you’ll find incredible stories of celebrities and superstars, of fights and camaraderie and crazy nights, of a man who lived his life his way.
