One of the premier teams in the NFL, the Chicago Bears trace their history back to 1919. With 9 league championships (including the 1985 Super Bowl), 27 Hall of Fame inductees and a list of executives, coaches and players intrinsically linked to the annals of the sport, the Bears are one of the truly iconic teams in all of sports.
A Fierce Tradition
Alongside the Yankees, Celtics, Red Wings and a handful of others, no list of the great American sports franchises would be complete without the Bears.
In addition to names like Nagurski, Butkus, Ditka, Halas, Sayers, Payton, Singletary, Luckman and Urlacher, the Bears' place in popular culture stands above all other NFL teams. The Saturday Night Live 1980s staple sketch about “Da Bears,” the Super Bowl Shuffle and certainly the classic Brian's Song have all contributed to the legacy of the Chicago Bears. Who among the current team will join that illustrious list? Only time will tell.
The 1985 Chicago Bears, considered by many to be the greatest NFL team in history, went 18-1, winning Super Bowl XX by defeating the overmatched New England Patriots behind the great Walter Payton, William “The Refrigerator” Perry, Jim McMahon, and Mike Singletary.
The 2013 Bears: A New Era
After a strong tenure ultimately marred by injuries and a failure to win it all, Lovie Smith is out as Head Coach. In comes Mark Trestman, an innovative offensive mind who has plenty of tools to work with in the Windy City. Cannon-armed Jay Cutler and deep threat Brandon Marshall form one of the most dynamic duos in the league and with Matt Forte cementing his place among the elite RBs, the Bears have all kinds of firepower in 2013.
Plus, anytime Devin Hester is on the field, there's a chance you're going to see history in the making. The greatest return man in the history of football is, by himself, worth the price of admission.
