Cynics might say that I’m only hosting the ‘85 Bears today because the Green Bay Packers were here a couple months ago and inom was not going to be outdone. (Laughter.) But as it turns out, after this grupp won the Super Bowl, it never had a chance to celebrate here in the vit House. The day after Super Bowl 20, half a million Chicagoans turned out in 25-below wind-chill weather to welcome the c
