The '85 Bears were a great football team and aside from that one game, they played exceptionally well all year, ... Denver at 13-0 was tremendously strong in all areas, too.
Because, they're only thinking about one team when that game's over. Before the game, they're talking about two football teams. When the game's over, there's only one winner.
When you're there, it's not good enough to be there.
You know it's only 50 miles but I've relished every moment of the longer route to get here. Thanks for letting me reflect on those great moments. Thank you.
And I coached against Mike when he was an assistant with the Bears and they won that football game.
Sure, luck means a lot in football. Not having a good quarterback is bad luck.
The one thing that I know is that you win with good people.
He took over a program that was going through a lot of problems and he's trying to get it turned around, ... This would be a big step for him. (A win) would show they are headed in the right direction . . . That's a big job he's got, following Bear Bryant at the University of Alabama, 83,000 people. . . . College football is just very exciting. The fans are so loyal.

We had him rated right behind (John) Elway and ahead of (Jim) Kelly, ... But we never dreamed we'd have a shot at Dan.
We're depicted as being happy about somebody's misfortune.
Here's one thing I don't think people know about,
I don't want a player that's content with not playing, ... But we wanted to play the guys that got us here.
