She hates time; make it stop
When did Mötley Crüe become classic rock?
And when did Ozzy become an actor?
Please make this stop, stop
Stop!
And bring back…1985

Perhaps NIU College of Law alumni Rich Lenkov (’95) and Scott Prestin (’95) were thinking of the Bowling for Soup song when they joined forces to co-produce a new documentary chronicling the 1985 Chicago Bears, the legendary team that dominated the NFL on their way to winning Super Bowl XX.

The two are joining with fellow attorney Joseph G. Klest and former Bears linebacker Otis Wilson in producing “’85: The Untold Story of the Greatest Team in Pro Football History.” The film is projected to be the first feature-length documentary about the team, and the producers plan on releasing it in the fall of 2015 to coincide with the 30th anniversary of the Bears’ Super Bowl season.

The documentary has been featured in an article by Jack Silverstein in the January 26, 2015 edition of the Chicago Daily Law Bulletin as well as in the Chicago Sun-Times entertainment section on December 14, 2014 as part of an item by Bill Zwecker.
