Misty McMichael, Steve’s wife of 22 years, speaks at her home after the Hall of Fame announced him as a finalist for the 2024 class.

Bears great Steve McMichael is almost a Hall of Famer.

His wife, Misty, has spearheaded a campaign to induct him for the past year or so, and he was announced Wednesday as one of three finalists selected by the senior committee. All that’s left is a vote by the full panel in February, and if McMichael gets at least 80% as expected, he’s in.
