I'm old school and I love the special teams aspect of football.  It provides some of the most exciting plays each year whether it is kickoff and punt returns, to even FG at the closing seconds of the game.  Fans are fixated on these moments.  Even a missed extra point these days, since they moved it back to the 15yd line, can change the emotions of the game.  How many here remember the FG block in the Bears - Packers game after Walter Payton passed away? 

If you are not familiar with him, Rick Gosselin does some outstanding analysis and reporting on the game.  

Summary of Bears players on the list:

Rick Gosselin's full story which I haven't yet had time to read and enjoy...but I will.

I'll finish with my favorite special teams moment:  Hester's punt return against the Arizona Cardinals to win the game.  This gave me one of the best weeks I ever had at work here in the desert.  

 

and the Bears fan's perspective...

 

Hester was absolutely insane, glad we got to witness that. Never should've tried him as WR. Just let him return kicks and be elite.

Yes, that would have been ok by me.
