Favorite line: "Now I'm as smooth as a chocolate swirl/I'll dance a little for you, so watch me girl." I seem to recall trying to use that line to impress someone, faux-ironically, despite it's inapplicability. (It might have been, "They call me Sweetness.")

That's how I roll, Apo. On the other hand, either shortly before or shortly afterwards, I was trying to work the Jon Cryer/Anthony Michael Hall thing. It's hard to think of any whiter casting type . I was a confused young man.

I've always been an "I may be large, but I'm no dumb cookie" man myself.

"There's no one here who does it like me, my superbowl shuffle will set you free" oh yeah that's it. Awesome video. I remember it back in the day.

It's because the '85 Bears are THE GREATEST [single] FOOTBALL TEAM OF ALL TIME!!!!
Other than the 1972 Miami Dolphins. Who went ... UNDEFEATED!
Just ask yourself, how is it that a video with awful lyrics, atrocious dancing, and a silly melody is, nevertheless and non-ironically, THE GREATEST VIDEO OF ALL TIME!!!!
Ya know, there are lots of similarities between you and Charles Lindbergh Jefferson Davis the mutant lovechild of Adolf Hitler and Long Duk Dong.

m, Payton Manning suddenly seems a lot more deserving

The video would be better if they were dancing on Tony Eason.

Better still if they were dancing on Jim McMahon.

How that guy avoided ending up in professional wrestling is a mystery.

The best part is that the song isn't just by The Chicago Bears, it's by The Chicago Bears Shufflin' Crew. As if each NFL team employs a specialized shufflin' crew for the purposes of rapping and making music videos.

When you think about, running the ball is like making romance.

Conversely, the play-action pass is like faking an orgasm.

Actually it's the goofball dancing, which is kind of cute and draws attention to their embodiedness. Like, wait, don't you get *paid* to be good at physical things? And yet . . . and yet . . . you can't dance any better than I can! You're human!

That said, I could have gone my whole life without being reminded of this. Thanks, Ogged.

Lyrics. Apparently, I misquoted the Gault line: it's "dance a little funky". No wonder it didn't work.

Note that William "The Refrigerator" Perry appears to be about as big as the average NFL QB, ca. 2006.

Not that there's a steroids problem or anything.

Let us be sure not to confuse Payton, who is awesome, with Peyton, whose uppance-coming is a moral imperative.

Fencik and Plank. Wow. A yalie and a guy who knocked himself unconscious hitting teammates in practice. The '86 Giants were better, but man this was a greate football team.
