We're so happy that the Bears are back in the playoffs again and also happy that the coach (not Da Coach) finally shows some expression.
But our all-time favorite team was the one from a quarter century ago, can it really have been 25 years ago? I still know most of the players names, more than I can say about this year's batch.
Back in November, the '85 Bears held a reunion in Chicago with quite a few in attendance. Hey, the 1985 Bears have never gone away.
Dan Pompei had an article in the November 5, 2010 Chicago Tribune about our Da Bears.
Many of us still have a VCR tape of Super Bowl XX tucked away somewhere. I know I have. Of course, many folks no longer have anything to play it on. I also still have yellowed newspaper clippings and my copy of "Super Bowl Shuffle."
That Friday, at least 25 of Dose Bears showed up at the Arie Crown Theater in Chicago to talk about that special season and some fans paid up to $199 a ticket to see Da Guys.
Pompei says there was a delightful transparency about those '85 Bears.
Chicago loved Dose Bears and Dose Bears loved the city right back, By Pompei's count, 20 of them still live here. You constantly hear of them being somewhere, signing autographs or opening a store.

Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
