The '85 Super Bowl Champion Bears is ranked by more than a few as the greatest NFL team of all time. The team was comprised of more than a few "diverse" personalities, e.g., Jim McMahon, William "the Refrigerator" Perry, Mike Singletary and Gary Fencik. The guests discussed the iconic nature of the team, their relationship with the best running back of all times, Walter Payton, the tension between coach "Iron Mike" Ditka, once a Bear all-pro tight end and supreme motivator, and Buddy Ryan, the defensive coordinator, the locker room and on-field discussions and events beginning in 1982 and ending at the 1985 Super Bowl. The overall theme: the team then and the members now had fun and are all members of a very close knit family. Guests: Emery Moorehead (tight end), Steve McMichael (defensive tackle), Keith Van Horne (offensive right tackle), Otis Wilson (outside linebacker), Shaun Gayle (corner back/safety) and Mike Richardson (safety)

Yes. I’m sure they would. But… all I have to say is ‘72 Dolphins. Until another team goes undefeated, that conversation is over.
Greatest team that was EVER assembled!!!!!!
Absolutely LOVE these guys. Honest. Funny. And brutally talented players.
One hell of a fun team back in the day on Tecmo Bowl. McMichael, Dent, Hampton and Singletary were great on D... Payton out of the back field.... Willie Gault had speed.....Gentry on returns was a blast.
I’m so glad that video documents like this exist of my all-time favorite Bears Team!!!
The 85 bears had such an impact on this country in so many ways that it would be hard to realize them all. I'll be 70 years old next up and my football ended in 86. I watch all of the 1985 games each year and relish that awesome year over and over because there will never be another team like it. I have heard a bit of grumbling about the players and I'm sure there was because it always is some of that. But every one of the people that made up that team in my book were and still are champions. Finally, there are several of the team players and others that have died since that victorious season. God bless them and thank all of you 1985-1986 bears for so many memories of that season that will last forever and beyond.
they truly are the best ever...go bears...bear down...
I miss these guys a lot! I hope to see good players this season and lots of chemistry and success with them as the 1985 team.
Shaun Gayle got that Soul Glo lol
Nfl wasnt even on tv in the 80s in the uk but the bears were in pop magazines and on my wall. Weird but true.

True it was about 83-84 when I first started watching it
Everyone knew and appreciated this team and Forest Greg said the '85 Bears had the "Ideal Personnel For That Style Of Defense" And he went into stop All the Green Bay meeting rooms and said, " I want to show you a football player" and he showed 5 clips of Walter Payton, and in everyone of them he wasn't a runner, but a blocker. Everyone on that team was a gifted human being & stood tall under the weight of that gift !
...it was Emery Moorehead who picked Jimmy Robinson up off the slush covered astro turf of Giants Stadium back in '77 when Fencik delivered one of the most vicious hits in the history of the NFL.

That was really something. Fencik looks too nice of guy to have been what he was, real business like and came from Yale if I'm not mistaken.

Fencik still looks more like a lawyer or businessman than a football player. Jekyll & Hyde is right.
You know, as a Chicago sports fan and a Bears fan mostly I will say this: a major reason why they did so well was that offenses could not figure out their schemes. Even if the physical rules were allowed today (meaning the hitting etc), a more spread offense with like 4 receivers and a QB like a Marino who got rid of the ball quickly would make a huge difference. Rewatching that season, you can start to see the holes. Love the team though
Good to see Mike Richardson - I was worried about him - heard things didn't go well after his NFL career.

Since this aired Steve McMichael's health declined badly and he is now under 24 hour care. Mike Richardson is in jail in Arizona facing legal issues.
I remember them.
Its tragic how bad Mongos health has become. He deserves to be in Canton
They all may be super bowl champions, but only one of them was a 4 horseman.

Funny to see WTVP at the end of the video. My old hometown as well. Now Texas is home, but cudos to River City.
The 85 Bears were Golden.
I will always blame O.J. Simpson for the Miami loss. Marino never should have had the ball that much. The previous week on MNF, O.J. questioned the Bears passing attack and game calling. Remember, the Bears ran the ball and controlled the clock. That was their game. Miami had poor run defense, but they come out passing. A couple of INTs, and they're behind, and have to pass, giving Marino the ball more often.

Great, so he's guilty of that as well as being a homicidal maniac and liar.
During the previous MNF game, O.J. Simpson said the Bears couldn't pass. My take on the Miami game is, the Bears came out passing to prove Simpson wrong, and fell behind, and had to keep passing. They were winning games by running the ball and controlling the clock. Had they done that from the start, and the Dolphins had a weak run defense, Marino wouldn't have been on the field too much.
McMahon did not play in the Dolphins game right? It was Fuller
Did they record this with a camrea from 85?

Sad but true. I thought for sure they'd repeat in 1986 after they went 14-2. To get eliminated in the first round was embarrassing.
Dolphins beat you guys up,you still win the Gold.
