 NFL Americas Game: Chicago Bears Super Bowl XX $19.98 Not much of a football fan myself (although I'll watch a good rivalry), but darn if I didn't catch myself watching the top 20 Countdown of the America's Game series a couple years back (the back stories and personality profiles are great). NFL Network counted down the top 20 Super Bowl teams, and the 1985 Chicago Bears was rated #2. Out of the 20 I watched, I'd rank this DVD as #1 in the series (I'd also rank the 85 Bears first). NFL Films does great work, and this DVD shows `em at their best-great music, great video, and the shot (and music) of Walter Payton sitting on the bench by himself with his head in his hands at his last game will tug on your heartstrings! I'd recommend watching this DVD first, then getting your hands on the Pure Payton DVD (DVD is available only in the book Payton). Both are highly recommended, even if you aren't a football fan-my 75-year-old mom couldn't care less about football, and she loved it! If you know someone who's a football and/or Bears fan, this would make a great Christmas gift.  In Life, First You Kick Ass: Reflections on the 1985 Bears and Wisdom from Da Coach $24.95 In Life, First You Kick Ass: Reflections On The 1985 Bears And Wisdom From Da Coach is classic Mike Ditka sharing his memories of the 1985 Chicago Bears and Super Bowl XX. With the assistance of sports columnist Rick Telander, Ditka is able to bring the reader into the locker room and out onto the field for one of the most memorable seasons the Bears ever had -- with one of the most memorable coaches the game has ever seen. A very highly recommended addition to any personal or community library American football history collection, no true Bears fan can miss out on reading what Mike Ditka has to say In Life, First You Kick Ass: Reflections On The 1985 Bears And Wisdom From Da Coach  Ditka: An Autobiography $7.95 Ditka : an Autobiography by Mike Ditka is boofy old Iron Mike's story. He tells what it was like to be a tough guy and a hardarse, and to plan with ridiculous injury levels and what that did to him. Oh yeah, and a bit on that whole coaching and Superbowl thing as well. Not too bad for this sort of book. |
