Book Reviews of The Rise & Self-Destruction of the Greatest Football Team in History: The Chicago Bears and Super Bowl XX
Book Review: Look at da Standings - Quick!
Summary: 5 Stars
Due to defense and da self-destruction, so far dis season, of da rest of da NFC North, Da hapless, Halas-less, Bears find demselves in 1st place! First da White Sox win the World Series and now THIS? Be Afraid. Be very Afraid that the Earth has tilted off its axis, and shall soon stop revolving, spinning, in its former fashion, that gravity shall then cease to work its magic, and that all of us, Monsters of the Midway et. al., will be thrown off into the far flung reaches of the Milky Way!
This book is a dandy retrospective of the fun, the games, what went right, and then wrong - so very, very wrong - with Da 1985 Bears, complete with color glossy photos - although not including my favorite: da one of Da Coach flipping off da media as he's walking off da field - and index in da back.
So what about this year? Could be, might be ... Look at da Standings - Quick! Before Da Bears realize dey ain't playin' like Da Bears and revert to deir usual hibernation. /TundraVision, Amazon Reviewer, Diasporaic Bear Fan.
P.S. OhMyGosh! Now we have an offense our defense can be proud of! Stay tuned for SuperBowl Shuffle II at SuperBowl XL? /TV, 12/25/05

Summary of The Rise & Self-Destruction of the Greatest Football Team in History: The Chicago Bears and Super Bowl XX
The 1985 Bears, with their explosive concoction of talent, personality, eccentricity, and ego, were unlike any other collection of professional athletes that came before them. They changed the way Americans view their sports teams, and no other team since has even approached the phenomenon that swept the nation during the Bears? run to Super Bowl glory. But the volatility that helped make the 1985 Bears the greatest football team on the planet also contributed to their inevitable implosion. This is the real story of one unique team?s rise to glory and a behind-the-scenes look at their fall from grace.Football (American) Books
