I bought this yesterday. Its a 2 disc set that is a history of the Bears. Its pretty good. One DVD has an 1 1/2 hour history of the Bears, with a lot of attention paid to the greats...Payton, Sayers, Butkus, etc. The second DVD was NFL films presentation of the entire '85 season. There are also numerous NFL Presents bonus features...like a history of the Bears/Packers rivarly...a section called 'Wild Men' with bios of Ditka, McMahon, O'Bradovich etc...

 

I highly recommend.

There's a great special on Butkus, I think by NFL films. My dad has it on VHS, but he just taped it off the tv years ago. Id love to find that. It has former players and coaches talking about butkus. Some things I remember from it:

 

former player: "I once read a book titled "The Man Who Walked Like a Bear" well Butkus was a bear that walked like a man.

 

former center: Here we are a beautiful sunny day...not a cloud in the sky, and Im looking down ready to snap the ball and all of a sudden there's like a downpour on my hands...I look up and there's Butkus spitting all over my hands.

 

former player: Butkus would always yell "hut" hut" which is illegal you can't yell hut....the ref would tell him to stop yelling it, but he would say..hey that's my signal to my defense...which is bulls*** there's no signal like that....

 

It was a great film....It wasn't really long...but it showed the impact he had on the game and how he played. Had some good interviews with him and his teammates as well.
