they say in 52 years he has never missed a game, practice, or day at work...
that is until the HOP drug him away.
eat that, brett favre.
Saying he couldn't wait to get back "home," defensive coordinator and new Hall of Famer Dick LeBeau returned to training camp Monday afternoon, getting hugs from players and loud cheers from fans as he walked onto the practice field.
"I wasn't going to stay away any longer," LeBeau said. "I came back home. This is my family. That's what it's like for me."
...
"I enjoyed floating and I was worried about it for a while, but I'm not going to worry about it anymore," LeBeau said. Then he added, "I couldn't wait to get back."

Despite talking about most of the defensive starters, LeBeau said he regrets that he forgot to mention his linebackers, especially James Farrior, James Harrison and Larry Foote.
"I think I did a good job from an emotional standpoint," Le*Beau said. "I made myself a promise I wouldn't cry, and I couldn't look over at the players or I would have. So I looked at a lot of people I didn't know."
lebeau did mention the entire LB unit (i took that to mean that they are the straw that stirs the drink and needs no introduction). Pgh is "LBU" afterall.
other than that, he did mention all other 7 defensive starters by name. the corps of LB's should be proud, and dick hold no regrets.
