Super Bowl week lets us shuffle back to Bears glory

Fake apologies.

Fake news

C’mon.

Take a timeout! Forget the clickbait of fake.

Let’s segue to the pigskin version of the fake and quarterback sneak by blinking back 35 years to the greatest day in Bears history.

It was Jan. 26, 1986, and Chicago was on the verge of gridiron glory.

It was the day the Great Grabowski, Bears coach Mike Ditka, led his extraordinary team onto a field of dreams in New Orleans and won Super Bowl XX.

The Goliaths had done it Chicago style!

Voila!

In the week’s lead-up to victory, the French Quarter suddenly developed a Chicago accent; the dance floor at Tipitina’s interspersed zydeco with a whisper of the “Super Bowl Shuffle;” and beer served at the legendary Pat O’Brien’s flowed like a river.
