Chicago Celebrates 25 Years of Championships

25 years ago I was living in Chicago and watching the Chicago Bears begin their magical 1985 season. This was an amazing time to be a sports fan. The whole city cheered together and celebrated long before the Lombardi Trophy was in hand. No other city (or team) has been so arrogant as to record the Superbowl Shuffle before the playoffs began. They went on to be the only team not to give up a single playoff score.

Who’s gonna win?

Football is like a religion to me. I spent more time thinking about football than is probably healthy, and I still can’t tell you with any certainty if the J-E-T-S Jets are for real. The Colts seem to be just too good, even against that defense. Peyton is used to blitzing defenses and reading coverages. He has Superbowl MVP experience. I think the Jets are just over-matched. I’d settle for the Colts losing to the Saints in the Superbowl.
