Running The Ball Is Like Making Romance

Well, it’s official. The Chicago Bears will face the Indianapolis Colts in Super Bowl XLI on February 4th in Miami, Florida. The match-up will see the high-powered offense of Tony Dungy’s Colts face the defensively stout Bears led by Lovie Smith -- together they are the first black coaches to make the Super Bowl in its 41 year history. Also, after nine years in the league arguably the most prolific quarterback in football, Peyton Manning, will play in his first ever Super Bowl (and the first Super Bowl for the city of Indianapolis since owner Bob Irsay's midnight move there from Baltimore back in 1984). In turn, the Bears go back to the NFL’s biggest game for the first time in 21 years. When last we saw them in this kind of spotlight it was Mike Ditka, Jim McMahon, Walter Payton, William “The Refrigerator” Perry and Mike Singletary leading “Da Bears” to one of the most lopsided contests in Super Bowl history – a 46-10 thrashing of the New England Patriots.

To help celebrate the Bears return to glory, we’ll revisit 1985 for this classic clip... yes, the legendary Super Bowl Shuffle. True story: Fern knows all the words!

BTW, any early predictions?
