About this item

Probably no other team in the history of football has better represented the true nature of the game over the past seven decades than the Chicago Bears. Nor has there been such an illustrious slate of names - from the fabled Red Grange to the modern-day hero Dan Hampton - as those players who went on to become Bears legends and truly exemplify the glory of their times. Telling their stories, in their own words, are the revered and renowned, such as Gale Sayers, Johnny.Morris, and Doug Buffone; the certified sports heroes, including Sid Luckman and George Blanda; and the uncontained and outrageous, personified by the likes of Doug Atkins and Jim McMahon. Bears: In Their Own Words reveals behind-the-scenes exploits in an otherwise closed Bears training camp, what it was like playing under Papa Bear George Halas, and insider details about the winning seasons and championship games of the past seventy years.
