    Sweetness
    Well, they call me Sweetness,
    And I like to dance.
    Runnin' the ball is like makin' romance.
    We've had the goal since training camp
    To give Chicago a Super Bowl Champ.
    And we're not doin' this
    Because we're greedy.
    The Bears are doin' it to feed the needy.

    You're lookin' at the Fridge,
    I'm the rookie.
    I may be large, but I'm no dumb cookie.
    You've seen me hit, you've seen me run,
    When I kick and pass, we'll have more fun.
    I can dance, you will see
    The others, they all learn from me.

    Tons of great nicknames from the 85 Bears
    It's Gary here, and I'm Mr.Clean.
    They call me "hit man,"
    Don't know what they mean.
    They throw it long and watch me run,
    I'm on my man, one-on-one.
    Buddy's guys cover it down to the bone,
    That's why they call us the 46 zone.

    "The Bus" This name fit Jerome Bettis well because he was so big, and his steelers black and gold had the same resemblance of the colors of a school bus.

    Ed "Too Tall" Jones. The nickname says it all. It had to be a nightmare for the offense having this guy in your way.

    "Night Train" is also a ridiculously cool nickname. Richard Lane was of the most vicious defensive hitters ever and was once quoted as saying "There's nothing I hate more than a first down".

    "The raging bull" is another favorite nickname because it fit Jake LaMotta so well. He would come at you relentlessly like a raging bull and he wasn't afraid to get bloody. He was intense in the ring. They'll never be another Jake LaMotta.

    Shame on me for forgetting Joe Louis. His nickname is "The Brown Bomber" because he dropped bombs on his opponents.

    Dear Joe,

    I'm sorry I forgot to put you in the nickname thread, you should have been the first nickname I put in this thread. I hope you can forgive me for letting you down, and it will never happen again.

    Your buddy,
