Let's make this birthday one to remember.

50 years old (Born on January 26, 1975)

Happy Birthday, John Tait! To the offensive tackle who protected quarterbacks like secret service agents guard presidents—your NFL career was legendary. From stopping sneaky pass-rushers with ease for Kansas City to standing rock-solid on Chicago's front line, your tackles were as reliable as a Bears fan hoping 'next year is our year.'

Though you hung up your cleats in 2008 (and presumably stopped pancaking defensive linemen afterward), fans haven't forgotten how effortlessly you brought humor and skill onto every play. Wishing you more celebrations today than all those big game-winning moments combined—because legends never retire from birthdays!
