Was visiting a friend in Phoenix years ago and he introduces me to his neighbor when we go out in the yard to BBQ. Jim was living next to my buddy while playing for the Cardinals. Born and raised in Chicago I was star struck inside but kept my cool as he always does, and had a great after noon. A great down to earth guy.
My favorite QB of all-time. I’m a bears fan & when I was 16, they won the super bowl. It was an amazing season and this guy made it happen. He was injury prone and Ditka hated him, so they traded him to San Diego & I watched him win a lot of games in Philly a few years later. We could have won at least one more super bowl with him … probably 1990 or ‘91, when our QB was the only weak-link.
Here we have two men. One has a personality and intelligence, someone with an excellent sense of humor, wit, and who's interesting. The other is Jay Jeno.
Da coach cost the bears at least 1 title . His ego was more important than his team winning. After Super bowl win they went 14-2. 14-2. Lost to skins. Mc hahon threw for 9500 yds and 84 tds in 2 years at BYU. With payton play action was something that was a given. Yet he wss not given the chance to use his skills. His thursday game vs vikings was all you had to see. 3 tds in 9 plays.
Recently seen this guy on an interview talking about concussion injury that he said caused him long term harm. I'm hoping the NFL has seen him bragging about purposely head butting his buddies for fun & use that as evidence during his lawsuit against the league.
Maybe, but I’m guessing his undiagnosed broken neck (lol, “mild concussion”) he sustained just before this interview may have had something to do with it too🤔
After the most gutless cheapshot by packers Charles Martin he was never the same. Dislocated shoulder was injury. I think his neck was not looked at. My mother was from Daytona and we lived in chicago in late 50s on. My father had season tickets from 61 to 66. Iron mike was one of her favorites. She was always begged by my fathers friends for her ticket.she finally gave up a ticket cause it was a cold rainy day in 65. It was the game Sayers scired 6 TDS. Anyway she was a big fan of Mcbrat. When he was in 2nd year my mother was " we havent had a QB since Rudy Bukus? She was mad at Ditka for not letying him call plays. Then in Super Bowl she was so mad at Da Coach for not letting Walter a chance at scoring. When a mother calls out her fav guy 20 years later for not i but 2 guys who were insulted by the ego of a guy it means something.
His dad plays golf with us and is the finest gentleman I’ve ever met!
Very cool!

I have always been a fan of Jim McMahon! Thanks so much for uploading this!
A great talent!
Actually met him and San Jose in San Jose when we were little I think he's a good dude and I still believe that
Everyone in Chicago in the 80s was cool.
My favorite QB of all-time.

mine too
Ditka was an idiot at times. He shoulda been in McMahon’s corner.
@@chucklos391 Yep. Ditka was adversarial towards Jim after ‘86. Always threatening to replace him & eventually doing-it.
No doubt. Once the Bears started winning Ditka got a little too cocky and thought he could win with just anybody at QB.
McMahon was underrated. Ditka was overrated.
Oh Jim Mac. Totally real guy. No phony in him. Miss those 80's in Chicago. Fun times.
Still holder of the NFL record for most consecutive winning starts at 25. A record that will never be broken.
I didn't know that. Wow.
I agree
No nfl TEAM will ever win 26 straight
Much less a starting QB
@@GORILLA_PIMP only one who ever might have had a chance would have been tom brady with the Patriots during the 2000's era
Just think, two of his more memorable comebacks came during that stretch but didn’t “start” those games.
Peyton Manning broke the record
It was so '93 into '94 Joey Lawrence and Jim McMahon
Jim McMahon ended playing for Buddy Ryan in Arizona that season.
I was class of 77 at Roy high with Jim McMahon he was number one there also
He’s always been an interesting dude.......I like him.
Me too!
very strange hearing about the concessions now that we know the damage . terrifying what we did'nt know
him and the "snake" are my two favorite qbs
I read both their books. Very entertaining and interesting reads.
Was a pretty good quarter back for having just one good eye neck and back injuries and multiple concussions.
Here we have two men. One has a personality and intelligence, someone with an excellent sense of humor, wit, and who's interesting. The other is Jay Jeno.
And leno is horrible here too
legend. should have gone into broadcasting
The GOAT
The man !

Always be THE MAN.

JAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY LENO!
My Lookalike!!
Damn all that foreboding concussion talk! Jim is all kinds of screwed up from CTE
A BBQ Beef? 🤦♂️
