Sure, they're ripping off Improv Everywhere, but their version is much cooler; I mean, who would you rather high five, random Improv Everywhere guy or Israel Idonije? That said, I would be happy if the Bears just put together a season that didn't suck. posted by Bulgaroktonos at 11:14 AM on August 1, 2010

As a lifelong Chicago resident who has since witnessed a World Series victory, a Stanley Cup, and six NBA championships, can someone please make the 1985 Chicago Bears go away! Oh, look a new Dominick's is opening up, here come Steve McMichael and "Danimal" Dan Hampton with a giant pair of scissors to cut the ribbon! I worked at Rose Records in '89 and believe me, there were like a million of these 12" singles in the cut-out bins for 49 cents apiece. Please, merciful god, make it die once and for all. posted by nimmpau at 12:07 PM on August 1, 2010 [3 favorites]

#4 from the Bears' Super Bowl Shuffle (Maury Buford) lives a few houses down from me in a middle class neighborhood in the DFW-area. Nice guy. He did my roof. Seriously. posted by punkfloyd at 4:13 PM on August 1, 2010
I have to agree with nimmpau here. It's been 25 years. Please, Chicago, let it go. Yes, they were a fun bunch of guys, and yes, there's still something of an 80s revival going on (at least for the next 13 months), but please give it a rest. posted by stannate at 4:51 PM on August 1, 2010 [1 favorite]
It will be a long time before I forgive any of you for this post.
Look, I know it's the Bears and all, but I really don't think it's fair to try and blame them for that entire series. At a certain point, Miami has to take responsibility for their own shameful and tragic decisionmaking skills. Zebra pants, really? Just because you can...
P.S. nimmpau, one of those twelve-inches is in my record collection right now. Would you like to have it? Really, it's no trouble. posted by sldownard at 7:04 PM on August 1, 2010
Please, Chicago, let it go.
When the Bears win another Super Bowl we'll let the last one go.
Maybe. That team was epic.
Hockey and baseball championships don't cut it. Especially when it was the Sox. Maybe it was just me, but there did seem to be a lull in the nostalgia during Jordan's reign in the '90s. But it's going to take something of that magnitude.
We had a half-day long assembly in the morning in the gym.
We watched "the superbowl shuffle", danced, went outside for a snowball fight outside that lasted for exactly 2 minutes (how long it took before someone got injured), we played with a gigantic parachute, and did i mentiot that it was a half day out of class?
The second half day long assembly went to the older half of the school.
It ended when 3 kids were caught having sex. You read that right; the parents actually received a note regarding the incident and had a whole pta meeting for it
I guarantee you that ANY student who was at my CPS elementary school will NEVER forget how we had a school sanctioned snowball fight and orgy because most of the faculty was ecstatic about making money on their bears bets.
I agree with everyone. This has to die. It's already been slow and painful. Just let it go already.

The Blue Wave is on a roll!
Anyone else that lived in WA in the 80s remember "Chucka Knox" based on Chaka Khan's "I feel for you"? I can find reference to it online but no link. Damn song has been stuck in my head for 25 years.
