Classic Sports Card of The Day

05 Dec

1988 Topps football card of former NFL quarterback Jim McMahon, who played 14 seasons in the league. Seven of those seasons, and the most successful, were played with the Chicago Bears, where he led his team to the Super Bowl title in 1985. That Bears’ team became known as the “Super Bowl Shuffle” Bears, after a rap video made by players on the club, incidentally, before they even had qualified for the title game. McMahon played at the time of the “punk” music era, and carried the “punk” personna onto the field, routinely defying dress code orders from commissioner Pete Rozelle with headbands that had “unauthorized corporate logos” on them.
