The '85 Bears

Author: 
Mike Ditka with Rick Telander
Being born and raised in Chicago, a true Chicago sports fanatic leans early in life to treasure the rare occasions that thier sports teams win any championships.  Case in point:  The Chicago Cubs.  Enough said.
 
This new book chronicles the Bear season of 1985 and the Super Bowl win against the New England Patriots.  It is in the first person narrative Da Coach, Mike Ditka.  It also dedicates, at the beginning of about every chapter, a page or two with several selected stars of the squad sharing some of their personal recollections.
 
The book is co-written by the award winning columnist from the Sun-Times, Rick Telander. The layout of the book is set to enhance a quick-read; displaying thin columns and a lot of pictures.  There are also a great many small, shaded areas that have former players perceptions of past games that season.
 
It is the 25th anniversary of the last time a NFL world championship was won by Chicago.  A die-hard fanatic's worse nightmare is that it will be another 25 years or longer till that goal is again achieved.
 
". . .Includes a bonus audio Compact disc featuring an exclusive interview with Mike Ditka that provides even more memories from the truly golden era of Chicago football. . ."
