What a magical season 1985 was for the Bears. I was 19 then and we watched all those games at my friend Brian's house, his parents didn't mind if we drank. It was extra special when Madden and Summerall were the announcers, and that happened quite a bit that season because they were the #1 announcer team for the network and were always assigned to the best game, and the Bears were popular. I lost touch with Brian after I graduated from college, he died tragically 15 years ago on this very day I did get word in time to make his funeral, RIP Brian. Also RIP John Madden. Now I'm 55 wondering where all the time goes...

Madden was a great teacher. Every time I watched a game he was commenting on, he taught me something about the game. I watched whoever had the ball; he watched all 22 players at once. And on the replay he would point out a block that created the lane for the runner, or some other key thing away from the ball that the rest of us missed. . He always seemed to know why a flag was thrown before the ref told us. He knew very well that his knowledge of football far exceeded that of most fans, but he never talked down to us.

That was long before the NFL took a wrong turn, losing many of Her fans in the process, myself included. For nearly sixty years I was a devoted Chicago Bears fan, which wasn't an easy thing to do lol, they rarely won a game, they rarely came close to winning the Division Title, forget about a Super Bowl! But, then something truly amazing happened during '84-'85 season, all those years of saying, "Maybe next year", changed.. when all the right ingredients came together to create the now famous (& infamous to the other teams) THE '85 Chicago 🐻 BEARS! The game was at it's very zenith, not only for the Bears, but all of American Football... it was magical, almost spiritual in it's effect! Sadly, as every 'Boomer' generation football fan has seen, that's all gone now. That's why I treasure these old games, especially my good ole Chicago Bears! Thank you 'Punky Q.B'., 'The Fridge', 'Sweetness' and all of the others that made these memories possible. It will never happen again, we will never see another team quite like The '85 Bears.*

he made it simple. no flashy words. just football... didn't overkill the analysis.

[@jasonrichards9431]

Under the Lights Madden's a great story teller & in football his whole life, so has unlimited stories. He faced Payton nearly 10 years earlier & was a fan from Day 1, he liked to watch really good line play & he knew the city of Chicago was starving for a champion, so '85 Bears gave him a lot of material.

"Here's a guy who when he puts his contacts in can see better" -John Madden

[@redwingsfan3621]

Haha Caliendo fan!

When you're a quarterback, the way you fight a guy is you throw the ball at em. And then you back up.

[@wraithwyvern528]

He may be gone but he will never be forgotten.

[@annaspyropoulos6138]

I haven't thought about madden for yrs,

[@wacojohnnydean1777]

Madden and Summerall=GOAT

[@2274brian]

one thing for sure, they unloaded their load before any of the broadcasters today loaded their load

[@luisreyes1963]

They are GOAT, not that tampon-wearing diva Tom Brady.

[@johnmoore4]

This is packed with wit and mirth. When watching football was fun.

[@MarkHobbsPhotographer]

Fantastic stuff from both Madden & Pat...i miss those days

[@SuperTugz]

I love the contrast of Pat's calmness and Madden's excitement. Legendary broadcast team.

R.i.p. Jon madden. He was a legend

[@justinbehlke5966]

When ever I think of John Madden I think R.I.P. but then I remember he’s not even dead yet

[@WhatAndEver]

No, but we did lose Pat. Even though he was long retired, the world just isn't the same without him.
