A moment in NFL history

For those who don't know the story...

In the week leading up to the Super Bowl, Jim McMahon was on the injury report for - I'm not making this up - a bruised butt.

(One of his Bears teamates later said on NFL films, "How would you like to have that on your injury report?")

Media being what they are, McMahon got a lot of questions about it, and was rather annoyed by the whole thing.

So on this day in particular, as a teammate put it, he just decided to " show them the area in question."

I believe he got fewer questions about it after that.

These days he would have been suspended 4 games conduct detrimental, Goodell would implement a "No Butts" policy, and there would have been an OTL episode about it with the only person interviewed being the one lady who claims she was emotionally scarred by seeing a full grown male butt.

Didn't someone get fined for pretending to moon?

      Hoping you guys keep it up

      It’s wild to me that so many of you guys are threatened by the idea of an opposing team fan who is polite in 2025. He’s been posting here on and off for years, usually when our teams play each other which hasn’t been for a while. I’d maybe understand this treatment if it was a falcons or saints fan, but packers fans in general are one of the nicer fan bases as long as you aren’t another NFC north team (especially the bears).

      I'm sold on the NFL being fixed.

      Some players excel on the big stage, while others freeze and succumb to the pressure. I’m not convinced Cam took a dive. I think he didn’t handle the stage very well. The pressure got to him and he folded. He wouldn’t be the first quarterback or player to struggle in a Super Bowl. Two HOF examples - John Elway and Jim Kelly. The 2002 MVP, Rich Gannon, threw 5 interceptions against the Bucs. Poor performances happen.  Unless of course you believe all these players threw the games they played in, but if that occurred, surely someone by now would have admitted taking a dive? 🤷‍♂️

      Cam on ‘The Bank’

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      It was always a matter of time with Cam’s playing style and a shorter shelf life than passers that protect themselves. I suppose Cam could have still been playing in 2028 ten years after the hit took place, but he would need to have evolved as a quarterback and become more of a passer than the dual threat maestro he was. It’s sad because it makes us think of what could have been, but I do feel it was always a matter of time until all the hits took their toll.
