The '85 Bears....
They come along every decade or so, and we initially fall for the bait.
The Dallas Cowboys of the mid-1990s.
The Pittsburgh Steelers of a couple of years ago.
Today's New York Jets.
We call them wild and wacky and crazy and amazing, almost begging the adjectives to burst off the page and infuse life into the relatively lifeless. But, for the past 25 years, dazzling words have failed to meet harsh reality. Yes, the Cowboys of
Aikman,
Smith and
Irvin were wonderful. Yes, the Steelers of
Big Ben and
Hines Ward and
Santonio Holmes walked with a swagger. Yes, the 2010 Jets seem to pack a punch.
None, however, match the 1985 Chicago Bears.
Not even close.

You got that right. I can't imagine what would happen to them in this day and age of PC and Roger Goodell. They will never beat the entertainment value even by todays drama queens and divas.
Arguing on the internet is like winning the special olympics, even if you win your still messed up.
Restore the roar!

Oh yeah.... watch some game footage of the 85 Bears, a lot of hits they delivered would bring penalties today.

You can't go by that, you play with whatever rules are in place at the time.
