Da Bears go marchin' in

I defy you to try and sit through the whole six minutes of this video, the Super Bowl Shuffle, from the '85 Chicago Bears. At the three minute mark, I said to Vandra,"Okay, that's enough!"

Anyway, watching this video brought back lots of memories from the 80s.

Today's Bears/Saints game absolutely sucked. I'm happy for the Bears and their fans, but I was really pulling for the Saints, and I thought they'd run away with it.

But, you can't turn a ball over as many times as the Saints did today and expect to win a conference championship. I really hope the Bears offense looks better next week than it did today.

Chicago was opportunistic, and sometimes that's good enough, but the Bears were going against Sean Payton, a good but first-year coach. In two weeks, they'll face the Colts and Peyton Manning, and that's an altogether different animal. If the Super Bowl were based strictly on merit, it would be Saints QB Drew Brees (above, right) going to the show, and Bears QB Rex Grossman (above left) staying home, but, as we all know, it's never that simple. The best team and the most deserving players don't always get to go or get all of the accolades.

I am very happy for Lovie Smith, though - the first black coach to reach the Super Bowl. Congrats to the Bears - now give us a good Super Bowl!

It's been 22 long years for Chicago since the Bears last won the Super Bowl. They are one win away from re-livin' the Super Bowl Shuffle.
