T’was the night before the Superbowl and all through the house….


Things that have changed from the last time the Chicago Bears played in the Super Bowl (1985):

1.  Brian Urlacher was in 2nd grade.  Rex Grossman was in kindergarten.

2.  George W. Bush was 39 years old and still drinking.  His father would run for President two years later.

3.  Barack Obama had just moved to Illinois, and Osama bin Laden was fighting the Soviets in Afghanistan.

4.  ”Surfing the net” meant a volleyball game and virtually no one used the “@” key on their TYPEWRITER.

5.  Discover Card hadn’t been discovered yet, and Miller Genuine Draft hadn’t been brewed yet.

6.  Michael Jordan had just finished his “Rookie of the Year” season.

7.  The Fox TV Network didn’t exist, and ESPN had yet to air.

8.  MTV played music.

9.  The Chicago area had no Wal-Marts, Targets, or Home Depots.

10.  There were no ATM fees.

11.  The Soviet Union was our main enemy, and Saddam Hussein was our ally.

Food for thought.   Isn’t it amazing what has changed in 20 years?
