Hall of Famer Bears Lineman Stan Jones Dies: Stan Jones, a Hall of Fame defensive lineman who was Pro Bowler for the Chicago Bears from 1955 through 1961, has died at age 78. Jones was once considered an oddity in the NFL for lifting weights to bulk up. "Some of my teammates thought I was nuts," he said in a 1991 interview. "Some guys figured you became so narcissistic, all you did all day was look at yourself in the mirror. Other guys were afraid you'd get muscle-bound."
