The 1980s Bears should’ve won more than one Super Bowl. But those 1985 Bears did just about everything right on their way to that amazing Super Bowl win.
The book is a bit old now, but Dominance, written by Eddie Epstein, is a book that every fan of the Chicago Bears should check out. Epstein’s goal [...]

A CBS News report says that former Bear defensive tackle — and occasional touchdown-maker — William “the Refrigerator” Perry was released from a South Carolina hospital yesterday.
Perry had been hospitalized with Guillain-Barre Syndrome, a chronic inflammation of the peripheral nerves.
Perry is one of those Bears that has become legendary. Although it’s questionable how much of [...]

Here’s something that has never happened in Chicago sports history: All five of our major sports teams have never made the postseason in the same year.
It could — emphasis on that word “could” — happen this year, though.
Let’s look at our beloved teams: Both the Bulls and the Blackhawks have already made the playoffs. The [...]

After the Bears acquired Jay Cutler, I was amazed to hear people on talk radio still singing the praises of Kyle Orton. For those who don’t know them, here are Orton’s stats for last season: He completed 58.5 percent of his passes, for 2,972 yards, 18 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. His quarterback rating came in [...]

As a Bears fan, I’m never too cocky. I’ve seen too much bad — and often boring — football for that. So when the Bears somehow pulled off a miracle and signed quarterback Jay Cutler earlier this year, I steeled myself for the upcoming disapointment.
Cutler’s best wide receiver is Devin Hester. Really. Don’t be surprised [...]

As a result, I have gone into the Bears vault to present you with this video: The Chicago Bears Super Bowl Shuffle from 1985. Enjoy.
