I do not have a particular one, but as a kid I thought Erik Kramer was the best QB in the league lol. I even had my parents buy me his jersey.

December 6 1981. My Grandfather allowed me to pick a team between them and the Vikings.

5 bucks vs free chores. Huge Stakes back then. If I won, I'd be kid rich. Back then you could buy a new saddle for your pet Brontosaurus for 10 bucks. (Seriously a Full bag of chips was 25 cents.)

I asked him to describe the type of scheme they used. Team histories. Recent success. I carefully considered all this new information.

Then I decided a Bear would totally eat a Viking. So, I picked Bears.

Bears won 10-9.

Bears QBs went 4/11 1 TD 2 Ints. Walter Payton had 112 yards.

Here's the Boxscore from that game.
