Last night I watched Bryant Gumbel's HBO report on the '85 Bears and all of their health problems. That was my favorite team of all-time...and it's sad to see what has happened to those guys. I was most taken by the way Ditka vehemently stood by his guys. During their playing days, the players never really believed he had their backs (remember the player strike of 1987?).
You can watch a clip of it here. It's highly recommended.
