The Rise And Self-Destruction Of The Greatest Football Team In History: The Chicago Bears And Super Bowl XX
by Triumph Books (IL) (Hardcover)

The 1985 Bears, with their explosive concoction of talent, personality, eccentricity, and ego, were unlike any other collection of professional athletes that came before them. They changed the way Americans view their sports teams, and no other team since has even approached the phenomenon that swept the nation during the Bears’ run to Super Bowl glory. But the volatility that helped make the 1985 Bears the greatest football team on the planet also contributed to their inevitable implosion. This is the real story of one unique team’s rise to glory and a behind-the-scenes look at their fall from grace.

In a year when patriotic fervor swept across this country, another group of Patriots also staked a claim to a part of football history that will not soon be forgotten.
