The Bears paid their annual tribute to Brian Piccolo in front of their matriarch Tuesday.
Virginia McCaskey, who turned 101 in January, was in the front row for the presentation of the award — which honors Bears players who show courage, loyalty, teamwork, dedication and good humor — to linebacker T.J. Edwards and right tackle Darnell Wright at Halas Hall.
Her car, adorned with its usual “Pray the Rosary” bumper sticker, parked in its regular spot near a statue of her father — and Bears founder — George Halas. She used a walker and greeted well-wishers.
