3. Is there a photo that identifies the individuals by name? nt.

[flpoljunkie]

7. Sorry, no.

[PearliePoo2]

9. I went to ESPN , read their article and watched the video of the event.

Then, I made a HUGE mistake in reading the comments posted by hundreds of morons.
Filthy, racist and full of hate for President Obama.
Ughhh..I need an eye rinse. :-(

16. No, but...

If you go here, there are other photos of the event where the players are identified:

4. Sad not to see Walter Payton among them.

RIP Sweetness.

[ClarkUSA]

5. Or Refrigerator Perry.

Way too early.

[GoCubsGo]

14. The Refrigerator is still alive.

He might even have been there. I couldn't tell. Dave Duerson, on the other hand, is gone.

[Wait Wut]

6. Ahhhhh...

...I still miss him.

8. Did ya know that when the Bears won the Super Bowl

They got no invite to meet with President Reagan, because the day afterward was the Challenger disaster and in the aftermath no one bothered to set up a visit.. I still have the whole game ( including pre-game show) on video.. My fiancee at the time LOVED to cook and we had a BIG Super Bowl.. party.. I told her we will have party EVERY year the Bears go to the Super Bowl.. So every year after that she would tease me and ask.. We having a party this year?? ( knowing damn well the Bears were not going to the Super Bowl)..

10. At first I wondered, "How am I going to recognize Jim McMahon?"

As it turns out, I didn't have to worry. It was easy.

[GoCubsGo]

17. Still crazy after all these years.

Thank goodness! In the link I posted above, there's a great close-up of him. Check out his tie. LOL!!!

[CitizenLeft]

19. I thought about that too, looking at that 1st pic. nt.
