Da Bears!
Haha, don't get me started!
Did you ever hear about or see video of the "Fog Bowl", Eagles versus Bears in a win-or-go-home playoff game? One of the biggest rip-offs I have ever seen in pro sports, unfortunately the Eagles were on the losing end of that screwing.
Basically, a thick fog had rolled into the stadium and blanketed the playing field to the point where the TV screen showing the game was pure white. You couldn't see a damn thing, even the play by play announcers said things like "we really don't know what to say because we can't see the field at all...", yet the refs and the NFL allowed this to continue. So there were cases where a Bears player could basically step out of bounds, do all sorts of illegal things on the field, and for all intent and purpose the game was fixed because none of the refs apart from maybe the ones closest to the ball on a play had any idea what they were seeing.
And the Bears won. Total ripoff. A debacle.
For those interested, this is coach Ditka at the fog bowl as it looked on TV, and only a small glimpse of what we all had to sit through that day:
That game still hurts. The Eagles had one of their best defenses ever that year with Reggie White, Jerome Brown, Andre Waters, and Seth Joyner. And, they (the Eagles' offense) set a record, albeit a dubious one. They remain the only team to gain at least 430 yards of offense in a playoff game - and not score a touchdown! The "Fog Bowl" will never happen again; it would be delayed or postponed if it happened today. But it did achieve "legendary status"...
