Random YouTube Magic: 1986 Patriots Super Bowl Video
FanHouse — Filed under: Bears, Patriots, Super BowlI suppose it's hard to top the "Super Bowl Shuffle," but it doesn't even look like the Bears' opponent in Super Bowl XX, the New England Patriots, were even trying. I mean, Glam Rock? Really? Kevin Rys, quoted on Can't Stop the Bleeding, nails it: "I don't think I've ever been more embarrassed to be from New England ... Or be a Pats fan. I loved that the only Celtics they could get were Scotty Wedman, Greg Kite, Rick Carlisle, and was that Sam Vincent? The Bob Lobel/Joyce Kulhawik cameos both ...

LXXX years of Super Bowl history
Bleacher Report — While other Web sites offer "analysis" on a Super Bowl which appears to be a foregone conclusion (excepting the deluded opinions of those in the Manning household, of course), RealFootball365.com presents a little historical perspective and Nostradamus-like prognostication on America's greatest one-day sporting event.

Shocking dialogue: Jason Kidd meets with Rod Thorn
Ball Don't Lie — Jason Kidd wants out of New Jersey, and Nets personnel boss Rod Thorn is more than willing to aid in any transaction that eases Kidd out of a Net uniform. The other day, Kidd's agent Jeff Schwartz told Thorn of Kidd's demand to be traded, and yesterday Kidd followed up on the demand in a meeting with Thorn. You might not believe it, but we have the transcript in hand. Jason Kidd: Jeff told you, huh? Rod Thorn: Yes sir. Kidd: Preferably, I'd like to go to the Lakers, Yankees, Mavericks, Heat, or Celtics. Thorn: Yankees? ...

Guest post co-COW: Fasolamatt and Sabathia
Randball — Chicago apologists Jama and Jon have requested that I comment on the contract status of C.C. Sabathia in the wake of the dealing of Johan Santana. This is relevant in that Sabathia is in the final year of his contract as was Santana, and the Indians face the possibility of losing Sabathia without compensation at the conclusion of 2008 festivities. Here’s the key difference: Cleveland management has clearly stated since this time last year that the Tribe is geared up for a championship run in the 2007-08 window, and Sabathia will be a part of it.  They’ll offer an extension similar to the extension that ...

THE PROPHET'S TUESDAY TAPOUT: URINE SOAKED WINO EDITION
Epic Carnival — by The Prophet, ProphetFighting Welcome to my second Tuesday Tapout from my new digs in the Rose City of Portland, OR. If you're wondering about the title of this edition of the Tapout, it'll probably make more sense to you if you were around for our live UFC 81 round by round over at Prophet Fighting. If you weren't, you can relive my remarks about how winos/bums/homeless dudes or whatever you want to call them are a "protected species" here in Rip City. Unfortunately (or maybe it's *not* unfortunate) I couldn't come up with a graphic to match the title of this edition. So I've posted a picture of Gina ...

Best Video … Ever? Dodgers’ Baseball Boogie
The Big Lead — Stop what you are doing right now and watch this video. It is called the Baseball Boogie, and it features members of the 1986 Los Angeles Dodgers (Mariano Duncan, Rick Honeycutt, Fernando Valenzuela, Pedro Guerrero, etc) singing and dancing. It’s a travesty that this video is unable to be embedded; otherwise, we’re sure this would be larger than the Super Bowl Shuffle. The level of production here, considering it was filmed in 1986, is incredible. From the satin jackets to the douchy dance moves, it is nothing short of fantastic.

Basketball's Best Kept Secret: Revealed.
SportsFilter — Basketball's Best Kept Secret: Revealed. : While cruising Amazon one day, I found something curious: a 1994 hip-hop album from Immortal Records called Basketball’s Best-Kept Secret featuring the flows of ten of the day’s brightest NBA stars.... In the Pantheon of Hilariously Bad Athlete Rap, it’s the missing link between “ The Super Bowl Shuffle ” and Kobe Bryant’s abysmal “ Thug Poet .” Is there anything musically redeeming about it? Not at all. Is it worth listening to if you’re an NBA fan? Absolutely. Features playable sound clips from such awesome MCs as Dana Barros, Brian Shaw, and Gary Payton. ...

An Assortement of Bears Youtube clips.
Windy City Gridiron — I have been waiting for a chance to post some favorite clips of the Bears and anything that has anything to do with the Bears.  I realized that I was waiting too long, so I decided to just put some up today. They are in no particular order, just some of my favorites. ...

Top Ten Chicago Theme Songs
Top Ten Chicago Sports — There are songs that have some way become attached to Chicago's favorite sports franchises. Whether they were written specifically for the team or just happen to catch on for some reason or another, they strike a chord among Chicagoans and can bring back some of our fondest sports memories. So here are TTCS' Top Ten Chicago Theme Songs........ ...

Shaq, Shufflin Crew Highlight Y!'s Top 25 Worst Rappers List
Hugging Harold Reynolds — Like most lists, this one was a little predictable, but I can't say I'd argue with the inclusions. Believe me, I would have busted heads, if my boy $hamrock was on it. Here's what the Music Blog's Rob O'Connor had to say about our Athlete/"Entertainers": 25) Chicago Bears: The Chicago Bears are a professional football team based in Chicago, Illinois. In 1985, before winning the Super Bowl they daringly commemorated their proud achievement with "The Super Bowl Shuffle," a rap tune that made this group of on the field tough guys look like an ineffective glee club. Did they really psych out their opponents ...

The LCG Weekly Reminiscence: Mookie, Ferris and the Super Bowl Shuffle
The Legend of Cecilio Guante — Welcome to the first installment of the LCG Weekly Reminiscence. This feature will be part sports history, part personal memories and part pop culture redux. Today, we take a stroll down memory lane 1986-style. Come back next week for '87. I'd gone to sleep. I wasn't actually asleep, but I'd gone upstairs to my bunk bed in an act of stubborn defiance (at least in my own mind), refusing to give this team one more second of my precious time. I'm not sure what was more pathetic...that I had already given up on my team, consequently leading to my missing one of the more memorable moments in Mets ...

No Way This Goes Wrong
Deuce of Davenport | Sports News, Commentary, Humor, Videos — Someone in the Chicagoland area must take one for the team and invite Jay Mariotti to Binny's on 1132 S. Jefferson on Friday at 11:30. I'd suggest putting a few in him and enough to down a wildebeest in yourself (if you volunteer) since you're going to spend time with him and possibly witness the greatest beatdown in Chicago history since the '85 Super Bowl. Ozzie Guillen will be guest bartending at Binny's on Friday to celebrate their grand opening. He's always wanted a piece of Mariotti. We'd suggest getting Ozzie to do a couple shots with you to loosen him up. If you play your cards right, you may even get a little ...

Ozzie and Piniella Rap About Their Endorsements
SPORTSbyBROOKS — Chicagoans have a long history of crappy athlete raps. Okay, just the one, but it’s a trend setter: Therefore, we shamefully include the following in the Chicago Sports Craptastic Pantheon: a car commercial with rapping managers/former athletes. Take it far far away, Lou Piniella and Ozzie Guillen : (Our thanks to AWFUL ANNOUNCING ...

NBA Draft Attack: No. 14 Golden State Warriors
Ball Don't Lie — Ball Don't Lie continues counting down potential NBA Draft lottery picks. Because I'm far from a college ball expert, I called in the big guns — The Dagger's MJD and Eamonn Brennan, and guitar hero KD — to help break it down. Up next, because we completely forgot them on Friday, Golden State: KD's offseason outlook: The Warriors are lucky in the sense that what could have been a rather unsettled summer will merely be an unsettled summer, as coach Don Nelson has already made it clear that he'll be back in the Bay Area next season, and Baron Davis has also made it apparent that he ...

Vote: Best NFL nickname

Patriots Sign McMahon
SOX & Dawgs — Don’t worry folks, the New England Patriots didn’t sign Jim McMahon to come back for another Super Bowl Shuffle. Instead they have signed free agent lineman Pete McMahon who was just waived by the Jacksonville Jaguars on the 25th. The signing of McMahon brings the Patriots roster to the league maximum of 80 and means John Tomase now has to use one more finger to count. McMahon was a 6th round pick out of Iowa in 2005 by the Oakland Raiders and has never appeared in an NFL regular season game. ...

Rascal-ly Jim McMahon Really Knows How To Roll
SPORTSbyBROOKS — It’s been a big day for the ‘85 Chicago Bears. First, you have Mike Ditka opening up his new restaurant in Pittsburgh. And now we have the following priceless image of Drunky QB Jim McMahon partying it up on an old man scooter with ladies half his age, courtesy THE SPORTING BLOG: The photo of McMahon rolling on a Rascal was taken at the Mohegan Sun Casino in Connecticut, and, well, there’s really not much else to say.

Prepare to get KO'd, NFL
Rumors and Rants — I hope Timbaland is working on a Super Bowl Shuffle remix, because the Chicago Bears have officially entrusted their offense into the hands of one Kyle Raymond Orton. Now the only thing missing is an offensive line, running back and wide receivers. (Fortunately the Bears should have three solid tight ends). Now all it takes is an injury to Jon Kitna for the Bears to have the most proven quarterback in the NFC North. Looks like wild card spots are going to be tough to come by for teams in the other divisions. But since we love KO so much around here, we can't leave without sending you to links of other ...

CLIP REEL: HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JIM MCMAHON
ESPNtheMag.com - MagDaily — Today is Jim McMahon's 49th birthday. Maybe we're suckers, but we find him an interesting guy: he quarterbacked what could be the best football team of all-time, the 1985 Chicago Bears. He had a bunch of iconic ads in the 1980s, and went to BYU yet didn't seem especially wholesome. Let's take a look at him via Clip Reel. This seems like a good starting point.

AN INTERVIEW WITH CLEMSON GRAD WILLIAM 'THE REFRIGERATOR' PERRY
ESPNtheMag.com - MagDaily — You probably know William "The Refrigerator" Perry best from his touchdown run in Super Bowl XX or The Super Bowl Shuffle. What few remember is this: Perry was a freshman on the 1981 Clemson Tigers national championship team. With his alma mater a Top 10 team this season—and headlining Saturday Night Football this week (8pm, ABC) against Alabama—we talked with Perry about some of his memories. Bonus: you can read interviews with Alabama fans Jimmy Wales and Winston Groom, also!

We're Not Here to Violate Probation; We're Just Here to Do the Super Bowl Shuffle [Nfl]
Deadspin — #27, second from the left, is Michael Richardson. Richardson played a key role in the 1985-86 Chicago Bears' domination of the league. Now he's going back to jail for violating probation on his 21st drug conviction, bringing a new tint to the term "shutdown corner". How on Earth did L.A. Mike's probation officer find out about the violation? Why, when his known drug-using girlfriend picked him up at the probation office. He was arrested shortly thereafter. Mike Ditka and Richard Dent, among others, have gone to bat for Richardson over the years in court, saving him ...

SmackCaster SmackBlog — Mike Richardson (No. 27) was a member of the 1986 Super Bowl Shuffling Chicago Bears. Now, he is looking at 13 years in prison for possibly violating probation of his 21st drug conviction. Sadly, it sounds like he is facing a different tune. ...

Top 5 Reasons Why Athletes Should Never Rap. Ever. Or Sing. EVER.
FanIQ Blog — After reading 100%'s blog on the Chinese table tennis team and their subpar musical abilities, I decided to look around a bit more, and see which other athletes have made the same mistake. Well, we can add this year's Utah football team to the list of misguided athletes who think it's cool to rap about their season. For some, like the 1985 Bears, everything ends up going pretty well. But others, like Atlanta's Air Force (AKA the 1986-87 Hawks) and Josh Jarboe, formerly of the OU football team, things just didn't quite go as planned. You Been Blinded provided us with this priceless moment in Utes history, which you ...

The NBA and Hip Hop: Parallel Universes
Kornheiser's Cartel — Stuntin is a habit Get like me When Hater Commissioner David Stern put a limp in the step of NBA players by instituting a constricting dress code, some called it a racist effort to distance the NBA from being associated with hip hop culture. NBA players were done stuntin. Despite Mr. Stern’s interventions, undeniable and eerie links between the NBA and hip hop continue to scream out. It’s jaw-dropping just how similarly the careers of certain rappers and ballers have ...

In honor of the Chicago Bears playing Sunday night . . .
Sports stories from Newsday — What the heck. While we're at it, here's the most famous 1980s sports team video of them all. But naturally, I have a soft spot for "Let's Go Mets Go." Someone have a link for that one?

If you don’t like my picks don’t worry about it – you don’t have to. Pick your own. These all have a certain meaning for me. In no particular order: * Houston Oilers Fight Song: Yes, I realize that this does not make sense on the surface. When I was a kid watching football on Sundays with the family we would somehow hear this song quite a bit. I’m not sure why being in Los Angeles and all. At any rate, it cracked us up and we would sing along ...

Disco-Era Dodgers Rock Out (Warning: Not Safe For Ears)
Rumors and Rants — Sometimes I wonder how anyone made it through the late ’70s without drinking the Jonestown Kool-Aid. I suppose if I had actually lived through the era, I might be blissfully unaware of how awful it was. Or at least adhering to a strict drug regimen would allow me to achieve this blissful ignorance. Anyhow, let me set the stage for what is about to happen in the following internet space. Apparently at some point Andy Gibb of the Bee-Gees rocketed to such stratospheric heights of stardom that he hosted his own television program alongside some broad I’ve never seen or heard of. (I think they still used the term ...

At last, Northwestern football has inspired a ridiculous rap video
Dr. Saturday — Northwestern is 5-0 for the first time since Brent Musburger was an undergrad, and success has Wildcat partisans feeling very un-Northwestern-y. Traditionally, you associate Northwestern with the kind of people who belong in robes (Supreme Court justices Arthur Goldberg and John Paul Stevens), boozy intellectual hovels (Saul Bellow), the podcast files of every grad student in America (Ira Glass) and crippling financial scandals (Arthur Andersen). Most especially, you expect Northwesterners to excel as performers -- this is, after all, the school that's produced, for starters, Warren Beatty, Charlton Heston, Edgar Bergen, Ann Margaret, ...

Los Angeles Rams "Ram It" Video And Other Horrible 80s NFL Team Videos
FanIQ Blog — I know the Rams have a had quite a horrible season so far, what with a coach firing, listless play, and just general suckiness. But on the plus side, at least the team hasn't made a crappy rap video yet. Yep, below is a video of the 1985 Los Angeles Rams singing what is without question the most suggestive team song ever. Hell, they even named the song "Ram It" just to "ram" it down your throat. Seriously, just watch the video, and try to avoid looking at the pelvic thrusts. ...

Athletes And Music Rarely Mix
FirstCuts — eBay is full of hidden gems, particularly when it comes to sports-related items. David Arnott brings you the best oddities. When professional athletes record music, all bets are off on quality. Generally, the mediocre efforts are forgotten, like Ben Broussard's set of songs, or Ron Artest's Tru Warier endeavor (NSFW. And the video misspells "featuring."). Instead, we tend to remember the train wrecks, to the point that a few are remembered nostalgically. There was the Chicago Bears' Super Bowl Shuffle, the late 80s Arizona Wildcats basketball team got in on the act, and we can't forget ...

49ers 17 - Rams 16: Mustache Monday
Niners Nation — Maiocco and Barrows both mentioned the mustache growth developing in the 49ers lockerroom.  The team will be rocking throwback unis on Sunday against the Redskins and some of the players have decided to roll with throwback staches.  I bet they were inspired in part by Greg Manusky who was sporting one heck of a fu manchu yesterday. Anyways, I bring that because Shaun Hill discussed that among many other things: "It’s for the throwback game. It’s throwback week. Every day we go to meetings and we go by these beautiful pictures and we admire these guys’ moustaches on the wall. So, ...

We're Just Here to Win the M-V-C

What’s Playing in Peoria
Rumors and Rants — There are some things that words simply can’t do justice in describing. And that’s why they invented YouTube. In a move certain to enrage fans of the Creighton Bluejays and the rest of their ilk, the Bradley basketball team has recently released a video entitled “The MVC Shuffle.” As you can see, it is their reworking of The Chicago Bears Shufflin’ Crew’s Grammy-nominated 1986 hit single, “The Super Bowl Shuffle.” Now, some song covers work very well — Jimi Hendrix redoing Dylan’s “All ...

Breaking: Fans predictably craft Super Bowl parody songs
ESPNtheMag.com - MagDaily — A ginormously overhyped game and you eating way too many taquitos aren't the only sure things this weekend. Thanks to the '85 Bears Dance Fever and every God-awful "song" that's followed, Super Bowl Week now annually spawns a plethora of Cole Porter wannabes in the two competing cities.

Baseball Boogie - the 1980s were a different time
SULLY BASEBALL — Dear lord. Obviously still traumatized by Ozzie Smith and Jack Clark's homers in the 1985 NLCS, the 1986 Dodgers created this music video. They were clearly trying to capitalize on the 1985 Bears' Super Bowl Shuffle (which itself aged like milk.) But at least the Bears went on to WIN the Super Bowl. The storied 1986 Dodgers went 73-89. Keep in mind this was the clubhouse that the tough as nails Kirk Gibson walked into in 1988. &link; I wonder if they were still wearing those shiny pastel jackets.

Cowboys Band Together To Make Mad Metal Music
SPORTSbyBROOKS — A couple of Dallas Cowboys are putting the “heavy” in “heavy metal”. Free Reign Dallas Cowboys band Meet Free Reign , a rock ‘n’ roll group comprised of current Cowboys Marc Columbo (lead vocals & guitar/right tackle, 6′8″, 315 lbs.), Leonard Davis (bass/right guard, 6′ 6″, 354 lbs.) and Cory Proctor (drums/center, 6′ 4″, 297 lbs.). Joined by Davis’ former high school teammate Justin Chapman on lead guitar, these big boys want to make a big splash on the Metroplex music scene. Todd Archer of the DALLAS MORNING NEWS goes behind the music to uncover the origins of these football-fueled rockers: Colombo started playing guitar in ...

Wha--? W-We got who? You must mean another Jay, right? Maybe Feely? Schroeder? Buhner?
Roto Arcade — First of all, this is what a Chicago Bears quarterback looks like in the best of times: And this is what they look like under normal circumstances: On rare occasions, you might find a Bears QB fumbling away a Super Bowl, dancing like an old man, or locked in a tender embrace with a bottle of something special. But there is no precedent for a Chicago quarterback doing this: 616 pass attempts, 384 completions, 4526 passing yards, 25 TDs. Those were Jay Cutler's totals last year, at age 25. If he'd had that season with the Bears, he would have rewritten the team's record ...

While reading, keep in mind matchups are subject to change due to managerial moves, unforeseen injuries and Mother Nature's influences. ...

25 Years Ago: Mike Tomczak
Eleven Warriors — Succeeding a legend is always difficult; expectations run high and any flaw is magnified by unfair comparisons. Ohio State is not really known as a quarterback factory, and as a result the few truly great ones that come through are hailed as conquering heroes by Buckeye fans. But the flip side is that whoever succeeds a great one will probably get less adoration than he deserves. Who can forget the Columbus Dispatch headline that ran during Steve Bellisari’s first season as QB for Ohio State: “He’s No Joe” (referring to his predecessor, Joe Germaine)? Ok, maybe that’s not such a great example. But more ...

Brady can tie record with a win over the Jets
Tom Brady Examiner — New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady would tie a long-standing record today, should he pull out a win over the New York Jets . The win would be the 22nd consecutive for Brady, tying the record for the most consecutive regular season wins by a quarterback. The current record-holder Jim McMahon set the streak with the Chicago Bears between 1984 and 1987. McMahon is no stranger to wins or records, winning the Super Bowl twice in his career and tallying 25-consecutive wins with the post-season is added in. His 32 NCAA records during his career is not too shabby either. As an added bit, he also appeared ...

My father was a Packers fan until he completely lost interest in football after the Super Bowl Shuffle "queered up the whole damn sport." Like pretty much everyone else, I'm watching tonight's game in the hopes that Brett Favre gets his wrinkly ass handed to him. Multiple retirements are unacceptable in any sport that isn't boxing.

Yeah, New England deserved that beatdown in Super Bowl XX
Shutdown Corner — The Bears mudstomped the Patriots in Super Bowl XX, of course, and the Bears' Super Bowl Shuffle became one of the lasting legacies of the NFL in the '80s. Thank goodness is worked out that way, because if this video had become the lasting legacy from '85/'86 ... I don't know. The league might have folded a couple of years later. That is not okay, people of New England.

Boston College's atrocious 1986 hockey rap video, 'Beanpot Trot'

We all remember the 1985 Chicago Bears and the infamous "Super Bowl Shuffle" video that was produced before their meeting with the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XX.
