ESPN '30 for 30' on 'The ’85 Bears' more than just a memory exercise

So often when we look back at a memorable time or event, we remember less an individual specific and more the people that made it special. Such is the case with the ESPN "30 for 30" documentary “The ’85 Bears” that airs Thursday night at 8 p.m.

In the end, it really was about the people, and “The ’85 Bears” does a thoroughly enjoyable and informative job of recalling all the epic football but does it all against the fabric of personality that was the really enduring part of it all.

The football parts are the obvious: A defense that in one six-game stretch scored 27 points while the six opposing offenses managed just 27 points – combined.
