Eight nil teams asked their players to take Post season drug tests and All refused until the patriots announced their compliance with Berry s request. Many o the players involved Are ones with important roles on this team. We can t afford to lose them. We Don t want to see players traded because of a drug Woolen said.

What we decided to adopt was a voluntary drug testing. I program that will be Raymond Berry regular and frequent enough to prevent anyone from slipping through undetected.

I went to Sec All 59 of our it Ayers then and 58 of them agreed that a voluntary program might be a Good idea. By since that time we have had several players who we had cleaned up backslide Berry said i had to make a difficult decision with some of them because i told them All along that if i Ever pulled someone out of the starting lineup because of drugs i would not lie far Berry said. But 1 was also aware that if this be came Public it would dominate All other issues including our upcoming playoff games. Because of that i did nothing until the season ended. I have told the players what the penal tics Are and the Way 1 feel about this. I do not make Many rules but the ones t make enforce Berry said. Most of the 12 players involved Many of whom were confronted by Berry follow ing a party in which drugs were used after the team s 30-27 loss to the Miami dolphins in december voted in favor of the voluntary plan according to Wooten.

Won trip to super bowl Chicago May have dynasty Bubble burst by Dave Goldberg new Orleans a the Chicago bears who dominated the National football league this season in route to their first championship in 22 years Are talking about turning Success into a dynasty. They might ask the san Francisco 49crs How quickly u dynasty can turn into disappointment. A year ago after the 49ers routed the Miami dolphins 38-16 to Complete their own super season people were trying to figure out How anyone could Stop Bill Walsh s offence of the 80s, this year the 49m stopped inc selves barely making the playoffs with a 10-6 record then los ing to the new York giants in the pfc wild card game this year the Only difference is that the unstoppable Force was the bears1 46 de sense which held three playoff opponents to id meaningless Points. We re the Best of Al time no question Strong safety Dave Duerson said after that defense led the Way in Chicago s 46-10 demolition of new England sunday. We re on the five year plan said wide receiver Willie Gauli. We want to be the team of the and coach Mike Ditka while eschew ing dynasty talk said monday that he thinks the bears can become even belter. "1 think we can improve he said i think we can become More formidable on offence and gel stronger with our backups at some improve or not the bears face some formidable obstacles not the least of which is history. Since 1980. When the Pittsburgh steel cars won their second straight super bowl and All time Best fourth no nil Champion has repeated. In fact Only the Washington redskins in 1982 and 1983 even went to the title game two years Ina Row. And while the bears arc one of the youngest teams in football they do face some obstacles in route to a second straight title. One is injury Chicago had the Good Fortune to Gat through 1985 without losing any key players for longer than a few games. Injury prone quarterback Jim Mcmahon did miss All or part of five games with a Back injury. But the offensive and defensive lines stayed healthy and so did such key players us running Back Walter Paylon and Middle linebacker Mike sin a Clary without whom the bears efficiency would plummet. In fact the most serious injury to a starter came in the super bowl Cor Norback Leslie Frazier Hurt a knee that Ditka said will require surgery. Then there Are contract problems of the Hind thai can upset the delicate mental balance of any team. Todd Bell and Al Harris starters in 1984, held out for the entire season. Ditka. Said that if they came to terms he would Welcome them Back. But the coach who despite the Over. Whelming Victory was in a testy mood at his monday news conference said thai Bell and Harris would have a Lough time regaining their jobs from Duerson and Wilbur Marshall who replaced them. This May be inc biggest moment in Chicago Bear history and to be Par of that and let it go by the Wayside for a few dollars 1 Don t conceive it Ditka said. They made the decision. You play the people you have. You re Loyal to the people you the Chicago front office also must negotiate with All pro defensive end Rich Ard Dent the most valuable player in the super bowl. Dent an eighth round draft Choice three years ago played this season for $90,000 and at one Point threatened to Boycott the super bowl in an Effort to get his contract renegotiated. The bears May also once the loss of defensive coordinator buddy Ryan architect of the 46 defense who is a candidate for the vacant Job of head coach in Phila Delphia. But most important having won once they May not be Able to Muster the intensity to win again. Thai s the Factor that other coaches including san Francisco s Bill Walsh Hare presented in captaining Why team Don t repeat. Ditka said As much monday. It s Tough to repeat he said. Volt work very hard to get to the top. Then you took Down and ask was the Price you. Paid to get Here Worth the Reward if it was you can get there again. I Don t think at this Point you can say you can or you can t. Well look at it next year one thing the bears will have going for them next season is an easy sched ule. Of the 16 games they play in 1986, Only two against the los Angeles rams and Dallas cowboys Are against teams thai finished with a belter than .500 record. But Ditka asked about next season retorted somewhat Abr sively i m not worried about that. Let s savor this. Let s not get negative. Let s live in the
