For Big Game Day (So the NFL Doesn't Get Me)-- Part 1: Great Moments in Bears History, MLB and the Class of '83


Since today has something to do with pro football, and trying to avoid the NFL by not using what we call this game, here are some great days in Chicago Bears history, and not the fact that either ONE of the qbs in today's game could have been BEARS!!!  Plus, we HAD a guy who could actually kick field goals and not DOUBLE DOINK.

From the November 3, 2019, Chicago Tribune  "The 100 Greatest Moments in Bears History"  Nos. 20-11.

20  THE FIRST MLB

Before there was Brian Urlacher, Mike Singletary and Dick Butkus, there was BILL GEORGE.  An 8-time Pro Bowl selection and one of the driving forces behind the 1963 NFL Championship.  Kind of invented the position.

19.  THE CLASS OF '83

General Manager Jim Finks, the man who built the '85 Bears, drafted  seven starters for that '85 team:

Richard Dent, Jimbo Covert, Dave Duerson, Mark Bortz, Tom Thayer, Willie Gault and Mike Richardson.
