In 2010 near Phoenix, I interviewed Jim McMahon for a story marking the 25th anniversary of the Super Bowl-winning 1985 Bears. It was pre-Sun-Times for me but same-old, same-old for the Punky QB.
“It’s been 25 years and we’re still talking about this [bleep],” he said then.
I reminded McMahon of that Thursday night at the Hard Rock Casino in Rockford, where, on the precipice of Super Bowl 60, he regaled an auditorium crowd of several hundred Bears fans, most of them around his age — he’s 66 — or older, with familiar anecdotes about Super Bowl 20.
