When I was stationed at Chanute AFB in Illinois, we got to watch the Bears at the Service Club every Sunday. Butkus on the Defense, Gale Sayers on the offense. I loved it. until Sayers got hurt.
You were so lucky!
In my part of Virginia we only got to see the Bears 2 or 3 times a season so we made the most of it. My grandfather, my Dad and myself would be parked in front of the TV as soon as church let out. Sunday dinner was served in the living room.😇
I found this... Butkus and Sayers
