My Take

Jim McMahon is the kind of athlete I can't help but love: brilliant and defiant in equal measure. The Davey O'Brien-winning quarterback out of BYU became the swaggering heart of the 1985 Chicago Bears that crushed the Super Bowl, all sunglasses and headbands and rule-breaking attitude. What I value isn't just his arm but his nerve in the biggest moments, plus the sheer toughness to grind through 15 NFL seasons. He was never the polished golden boy; he was the rebellious folk hero. And honestly, those are exactly the characters I find myself pulling for every time.
