Then Ditka Said to Payton: The Best Chicago Bears Stories Ever Told with CD (Best Sports Stories Ever Told)
"I think you're a great football team, the greatest ever assembled. Go out on the field and prove it." --George Halas, talking to his team before the 1940 NFL Championship Game"Back then, we weren't interested in records and anything like that. If you got ahead by 20 points, you took out the first string and put in the second string. I probably could have scored eight touchdowns that particular day." --Gale Sayers, on his six-touchdown day against the 49ers in 1965"I always tell people I want to live to be 150 and they say, `Why would you want to do that?' I say, `Well, there's a few people I haven't made mad yet; I want to get them.'" --Mike Ditka"Continuity is important.... We are a few years into having Lovie Smith and Jerry Angelo together, and I think we are seeing the fruits of all those labors." --Bears president Ted Phillips
