Thursdays Super Bowl Memory: Second City turns Prime Time, Superstar First City: Super Bowl XX. The Bears were a perfect mix of world class power athletes, commedia dellarte characters, and comedy opera. For about two years after winning the Super Bowl they became so huge you couldnt turn on late night TV without seeing them in interviews. videos, Saturday Night Live skits, and commercials. Few teams ever get as much national big love as the 1985 Bears. Whether they were top athletes who became off field performers, or off field performers who become top athletes is a good question. The Opera: Ditka The Libretto: David Mamet with enormous assistance by Ryan J Sales (a Seahawks 12th Man on the side). Music: Steppenwolf Theatre Company under direction of John Malkovich featuring the Blues Brothers Cast: William Refrigerator Perry. Comic relief, who is easily the most well known two-way player. Richard Dent. The name still speaks for itself. Who else, with a name like that would earn Super Bowl MVP. Jim McMahon. The headband, the sun glasses, and the ass. His ass was prime time news. He flashed the media, and you thought Marshawn Lynch had media issues. Yes, he was the QB, but that isnt the position hes remembered for. He was a center stage rock star. Still shaking my head that he attended BYU. Walter Payton. Sweetness. The rock. Rarely is so much talent the true quiet mind inside a hurricane of frenetic pop-culture. Composed, he is a close as you get to football art. Mike Singletary. Simply one of the best to ever play defense. Ditka. Deity. Not many Super Bowls have what Chicago brought to the table in 1985. The Bears were everywhere, with everyone, doing everything. They were Saturday Night Live, Bill Murray, Second City, a band of superstars, and down right as good as you get in football. A legendary team. Da Bears
