1985: This was not a fair fight. The Patriots were not even a hiccup for the Bears.
The Bears were an awesome team. They are worthy of mention as the best single-season team ever.
Specifically, the Bear defense was filled with star players. They brought the pain against opponents.

70's music was very special and innovative. Every musician was high as kite off LSD and other hard drugs and they did create some great original music. Originally Posted by homie1975

Homie, of course, it's opinion. If you want to see a GREAT sports-card collection, think about 1969 Topps Basketball. The Tall Boys were produced after an 8-year absence (back to 1961 Fleer). Originally Posted by homie1975

Laker, you're right. The 1980s were great. Originally Posted by lakerboy

That's one hell of an argument. It's clear that Gretzky was the best ever playmaker and attacking player. Are you saying that you thought Messier was the most-balanced...after you add in toughness, leadership, presence etc?

Agenda, great post. Per usual. A few things: Originally Posted by agendaman

...Hornung/Taylor were MUCH better RBs than Grabowski/Anderson. But Grab/Andy came into the league at the right time. With bidding from TWO LEAGUES, Grab/Andy made pretty good $$ (for the time).
You talk about the money. Two key financial decisions from that era:
*1965: Coinage Act of 1965. Johnson takes the silver out of the coins. 40% Half Dollars, 1965-69. Gone by 1970.
*1971: Nixon takes the US off the Gold Standard. Enter: Fiat Currency Era.

well lived through 60's 70's 80's 90's
long ago in some thing online where we earned lil cash everything changed when 60's ended
wow gas prcies 35 cents per gal then bam my 2 nd year driving boom rocketed to .85 per gal soon the 3 digit digtal gas pump had to be removed now we have 4 digits and 5 for huge tanks that can cost over $100 to fill up
the 60's a dollar went far omg a full sized cheesteak at corner restaurant was only $2 even in 70's today forgettabouttit some places $15 and it's only 9 " roll
today prices compared to what $20 bought in supermarket is a tragedy $20 back in 60's filled your shopping cart remember walking with mom because she didnt have a car
as far as music today no true R & R bands none like led zep /ac/dc aerosmith stones beatles ...... these werre GODS the drummers the guiraist bass players vocals today it's all single artists Lady ga ga ; Pink ; Bruno Mars; one band great vocals is imagine dragons but they havent done anything lately like thier 1st big hit Natural
i want bands that we had in 70's 80's 90's 4 or more in band
i belive that type of band is gone today like zeppilns song bring it on home the mild vocal start with harmonica the it explodes and you scream ROCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK and ROLLLLLLLLLL baby

Sports in general was way better and more competitive back in the 80's. As mentioned above we had the showtime Lakers with Magic Johnson, Celtics with Larry Bird, Mike Tyson, Michael Jordan, John Mcenroe, Lawrence Tayler, Joe Montana, Wayne Gretsky, etc in the 80's and early 90's.
Those IMO were the best of times in sports all around.

Movie comedies peaked in the 80's as well. We didn't have to deal with the woke, cancel culture and racial egg shell walking back then.

A total Blurr of a decade outside Greyhound Racing. Bet hounds and fball and quite frankly anything that moved. Not sure how much I donated to Jai Lai cause I had the cash and women oh wow..., Probably the decade that defined my life. Easily wagered a MIL dollars. Boy those were the days. Lame now.

I turned 11 on 2/08/1980 and was almost 21 when 1989 ended, Probably the best 10 years of my life with the exception of my daughter being born in 1998. Originally Posted by lakerboy

I thought back then that I would be getting that beautiful poo tang from different women for the rest of my life.
Like I said 1980 thru 1989 best 10 years of my life, probably extend a little 1989 thru 1992Last edited by jackpot269; 04-21-23 at 10:54 AM.
