1974 Yearbook

[@smg1665]

The last Bears yearbook narrated by Jack Brickhouse. He retired from Bears radio after the 1976 season.

@7:04, Jack talks about the OL, but two years later in 1977, they had a whole different group blocking for Payton.

Jim Finks laid the foundation for the great 1985 Bears.

The '75 Draft was quite a haul for the Bears

[@russellmurray3964]

The '83 draft gets all the publicity (and yes, it was one of the all-time great drafts, don't get me wrong), but Finks' other masterpiece was the '75 draft: Payton, Hartenstine, Virgil Livers, Revie Sorey, Bob Avellini, Tom Hicks, Doug Plank, and Roland Harper. That's a major chunk of the starting lineup for a whole bunch of seasons, plus they wouldn't have improved as much as they did without this infusion of talent.

❤ love it

[@MrDuds1984]

Believe that Payton guy turned out ok

[@newtheis]

Man, it must have been tough for Brick Shithouse to narrate this

[@michaelleroy9281]

Nah, he gets paid for this

[@jimringomartin]

Wow, they never really knew what they had in Sweetness. Out of the the rest, only Hartenstein made the Super bowl. Bobby Douglas....sigh

@11:14, WHO? I looked up this talented TE; he did not even have 100 total-purpose yards in his whole career.

[@russellmurray3964]

Yeah, Fred who? I followed the Bears religiously back then and have zero memory of this guy.

[@newtheis]

@10:55, how bad was Gary Huff? They show him throwing two TD's against Atlanta, and he still lost the game 13-10.
