They had a silent veteran running back who they called Sweetness in Canton.<\/p>\n<p>They had fat, glorified mascot who moonlit as a fullback.<\/p>\n<p>They had the craziest eyes in the\u00a0business playing middle for the\u00a0benchmark\u00a0defense people\u00a0remember, even to this day.<\/p>\n<p>They a head coach and a\u00a0defensive\u00a0coordinator\u00a0who hated each other, even to this day.<\/p>\n<p>And they had the punkiest, most smart-assed, egotistical quarterback that ever played football on planet Earth: Jim McMahon.<\/p>\n<h2>My mind has made a connection to 1985\u2013presently, the Chicago Bears are good\u2013potential world-beaters like their 1985 counterparts.<\/h2>\n<p>Everything was on all cylinders Monday Night, the Bears cooked the Cowboys like a can of beans over an open fire, 34-18.<\/p>\n<p>The line blocked, Jay Cutler threw 2 tuds and zero ints, Marshall found his beast mode, Nick Roach showed the national audience that he would be any team\u2019s number one linebacker (where he is #3 on the depth in CHI), and the defensive backs collected 5 from the hapless Tony Romo.<\/p>\n<p>It was electric what the Bears were doing down in Dallas. This is a team to circle on your schedule.<\/p>\n<h2>The biggest\u00a0connection\u00a0between the \u201985 team and \u201912 is the quarterback. Jay Cutler is just as much of a punk (some may argue more) than Jim McMahon.<\/h2>\n<p>But America\u2019s paradigm has shifted. What we thought was punky behavior in 1985, isn\u2019t punky in 2012. I feel that would be an impossibility to be an 80\u2019s punk in this day and age, as we inch closer and closer to the fated date when we forge together with the machine as she sinks her sharpies into our collective necks, singing a sweet lullaby as we bleed out.<\/p>\n<p>BUT ANYWAY\u2013today, what we find punky is assholery. In 85, when Jim McMahon was an asshole, people found him endearing, a rebel even.<\/p>\n<p>But Cutler is perceived as a whiny little bitch\u2013which is in a way is a punk these days.<\/p>\n<p>You see, punks these days aren\u2019t the kind of dude who would snort shattered glass in the woman\u2019s toilet at CBGB\u2019s in 1977.<\/p>\n<h2>No, today\u2019s punk drinks champagne at 11am and makes a stupid face as a cop writes him a speeding ticket. Today\u2019s punks are the rich kids of Instagram. And their leader is Jay Cutler.<\/h2>\n<p>I kinda like this butting-of-the-egos between Tice and Cutler. To me, Tice is the unofficial Ditka in that Chicago staff. He\u2019s mouthy,\u00a0opinionated\u00a0and he hates modern day punks (allegedly).<\/p>\n<p>The same way Ditka hated McMahon\u2019s brand of mullety-Budwieser punkiness.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe this is the winning formula for the Bears? Maybe they need the tension in the inner circle to pull the magic rabbit out of their ass once every 27 years.<\/p>\n<p>If so, I\u2019m feeling it. The stars are aligning, just as they did when Bill Cosby was hocking pudding pops and people cared about Duran Duran\u2019s new album.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ANDDD BREAAAKKK!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Tebow!\u00a0Tebow!\u00a0Tebow!<\/strong>\u00a0He\u2019s coming, Gotham.\u00a0He\u2019s coming.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Rex Grossman\u00a0<em>\u00c6<\/em>ward\u00a0<\/strong>I\u2019m looking at you, Tony Romo, you pathetic puke.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cleveland Browns<\/strong>\u00a0Don\u2019t see\u00a0<em>The Master<\/em>, just don\u2019t do it.

Brady<\/strong>\u00a0I love when these guys play. I wonder if Manning can keep up with Tommy, who dropped his dick on the Bills D like a bear shits in the woods. They scored 31 points in the 4th quarter. What is the record for that in a non-desperate game. Sometimes, Belichick\u00a0\u00a0is heartless. He is my hero. Manning is in over his head in Denver. The Broncos are worse than the Packers at this point.

I\u2019ve married six couples in 10 years and my Marriage to Still Married ratio is 6:6. I always say, it isn\u2019t so much about the \u201clove,\u201d as it is the tasteless jokes that became vows. \u00a0 I started the I-80 Sports Blog to have all the work I've published located in one place and to write about things I want to write about. I don't take anything too seriously and it is a real time saver.","url":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/author\/paul\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10515","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10515"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10515\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":30990,"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10515\/revisions\/30990"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17512"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10515"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10515"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10515"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
