90 G's in 1985 dollars equals $159,719.52 in 2005. $685,000 in 1985 translates to a little over $1.2 million. Still chicken shit money compared to pro sports today.
My 1985 pro football memories... -McMahon's neckband -Patriots had a short lived 3-0 lead in the superbowl -The Patriots answer to the Super Bowl Shuffle, the rather queer "Patriots Are We" -After the superbowl I sent in my Cheerios's UPC's and $1.95 for my #72 GI Joe. I will make a trip to an Inglis Ave basement, I'm sure he's chillin under some dust and spider webs
My uncle Jim played high school football with Jim Morisee (spelling?) in Flint, MI. I think he played for the Bears in 85. No relation to Jim "gay-boy" Woodland.
Who's #8 ? He's wearing a white hat... playing the cow bell... and he's laying down a heavy pelvic thrust!
ReplyDeleteHaha - Maury Buford - there are a lot of classic names on that team.. Matt Suhey being just one of 'em.. This site brings back the memories:
ReplyDelete'85 Bears
Ok, ok, endulge me for just one more second.. looking at that site, the Bears '85 playoff run:
ReplyDeleteBears 21, Giants 0
Bears 24, Rams 0
Bears 46, Patriots 10
and these guys were getting paid peanuts! Most of 'em were between $100 and $300k, with McMahon and Payton at the top:
Fridge $138,250
Singletary $200,000
Dent $90,000 (Super Bowl MVP!)
McMahon $600,000
Payton $685,000
No wonder the Fridge is still working..

Good memory - we did come over and watch the game at your parents' place.. we were still living in the double on Lincoln at that point..
