ESPN’s latest 30 for 30: “The ’85 Bears” debuted on Thursday night and as usual, ESPN did a tremendous job capturing a sports story and giving it new life. The piece showed drama, excitement, humor, and tragedy.
As someone that was young and a sponge during that season, there was plenty I already knew but it was still conveyed in an interesting manner. Some of that information was probably quite new for non-Bears fans or younger Bears fans, but even for those of us that lived and breathed with this team, there was still some information that was new or fascinating.
