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.

I have been shopping on Amazon for years and this is the 1st review I have written. Reason why? I love this DVD on the 85 Bears and would recommend it to anyone who would listen. The extras were almost as good as the body of the video. If you are a football geek like I am, you'll love this DVD.

I got this for my husband for Valentines day, We both loved it! We do wish the actual Super Bowl game was on this dvd though. But is had some facts that we did not know which was nice.

What a magical season. The "fridge", the "punky QB", "Sweetnes," the "barking defense", Da Coach are all part of this wonderful team. The video captures the feeling of that special season. Probably the greatest team and greatest season is all highlighted here. I highly recommend this video, especially to bears fans young and old.

A very good production of the Bears' Super Bowl Year. It provides some insight into the relationships of various team members including Jim McMahon and Mike Ditka. The commentary by Mike Singletary is also very good. You will enjoy many of the scenes from that great Super Bowl year.

Astounding dvd! I've watched this dozens of times. They rated the Bears as the 2nd best team ever... watch this and realize how they should have been #1.

Again, big waste of money. This was perhaps the worst super bowl ever. Da Bears still suck. They had a horseshoe so far up their but in 85. Fridge was a fat tub of goo. Don't bother. Would rather have the 1985 Houston Oilers highlights than this.

I bought a Blackhawks' Stanley Cup Championship compilation DVD fresh off the press, so I thought I should add one of the '86 Bears' Superbowl to my collection.
