| Moment: | My first football memory in watching the 85 Bears win Superbowl XX in dominant fashion. Needless to say, I was hooked and have been a die hard Bears fan ever since. The other memory that sticks out is when Devin Hester keturned the opening kickoff for a touchdown in Superbowl XLII. The Bears lost the game, but that play will go down in history as oneof the greatest plays ever. |
