only Quarterback to lead his team to 10 straight championships and winning 7 of them. that is Otto Grahm. ranks as number 10 on all time quarteback rating, not bad for a quarterback in played in the 1950's. the next quarterback from his era is rated at 76. second best was Unitias because he revolinized the postion. third was Montana.

The Green Bay Packers.  They have the longest history under the same name and in the same city.  They also have the most national championships with 12.  The bears probably are second but they haven't has as much success as the packers.

Laurence Maroney should have a big day.  The Bear's front line hasn't been able to stop many rushers these past weeks.  Maroney is fast.  Did you see this guy in college?  I watched him and Calhoun all last year.  They're both great.  I'm a bears fan, so I should know since I haven't missed a game yet.

I had to look around awhile, but on page 96 of 136 (it may say 302), I found this:\n\n31\nJim Fox (1970-72)\nBill Hewitt (1974-75)\nSam Worthen (1980-81)\nGranville Waiters (1986-88)\nBrent Barry (1998-99)\nNorman Richardson (2001-02)\nRoger Mason, Jr. (2002-2003)\n\nHowever, in scanning the team photos, it also looks as though there's a "John Laskowski" wearing a "31" warm-up jersey in the 1976-77 photo.

Numbers 0 and 00 are no longer used, though they were issued in the NFL before the number standardization in 1973. George Plimpton famously wore 0 during a brief stint at quarterback for the Detroit Lions. Jim Otto wore number "00" ("aught-oh") during most of his career with the Oakland Raiders

My best friend in high school played in the NFL. Outside linebacker set a whole bunch of defensive records in the pac-10.

It was Tony Dorsett in a game against (sigh) my Minnesota Vikings on January 3, 1983.  This 99 yard gain was made on the immortal Monday Night Football (then on ABC) in a play for which the Dallas Cowboys only had ten men on the field.

I prefer the 85 Chicago Defense. I just know that when I think all time greatest that is always what I think of. The Bears had the name and the swagger. The D just was filled with names. They tore the other teams apart.

From Wikipedia:\n\nGeorge Stanley Halas (February 2, 1895 - October 31, 1983), nicknamed "Papa Bear" and "Mr. Everything", was an American player, coach, owner and pioneer in professional football and the iconic longtime leader of the NFL's Chicago Bears.

San Francisco 49's, So the Bears and everyone else where hopeing somehow to be smarter than the 49's, or luckier,or both. It was difficult for even the most biased oberservers to imagine anyone being better than the 49's. Their personnel was simply superior and their depth was a major reason for their 1984 success. Record 15-1 do you beleive the New Orleans Saints was the only team to keep them from haveing the perfect season at 20-3

Here is the entire 1977 Broncos roster:\n\nhttp://www.jt-sw.com/football/pro/rosters.nsf/Annual/1977-den\n\nEnjoy!\nI was a senior at U of Wyoming / Laramie during the 1977 season. I recall that I was taking a final exam during the final game of the season (vs. Dallas, who they played again in the Super Bowl that year), and there was somebody outside the exam room calling the score in to us. Laramie was very much caught up in Orange Crush fever that year.
