"How bad can it be?" "Nobody's going to hear it other than people in Chicago, right?" 🏈 And the rest is history. Does anyone remember this? Do the Super Bowl Shuffle! And win some big time games! Ha. HBO has revealed the official trailer for a short documentary film called The Shuffle, a sports history doc as one of their latest offerings during the NFL football season this fall. This looks like good fun. The short film explores the making of the 1985 Chicago Bears' iconic "Super Bowl Shuffle" rap video (which you can also see below), featuring rare footage and new player interviews, showing how this Grammy-nominated hit captivated Chicago and football fans during their championship season. Featuring appearances by former Chicago Bears players Willie Gault, Mike Singletary, Jim McMahon, and Gary Fencik. The Shuffle is ready to stream during Thanksgiving later this month - for primetime football season. The documentary is the first in a new series of short football films, made in partnership with NFL Films, and will debut in advance of the new season of "Hard Knocks: In Season with the NFC East." This seems like a hilarious blast from the past.

The Shuffle chronicles the making of the 1985 Chicago Bears' iconic rap music video that became a cultural phenomenon enroute to the team's storied Super Bowl XX championship. Featuring behind-the-scenes footage & new interviews with the star players who performed the song, the film explores the conception, execution, and impact of the Grammy-nominated track that energized the city of Chicago and football fans everywhere 40 years ago. Conceived by the Chicago-based record label executive Dick Meyer of Red Label Records, the song sparked debate over swagger versus superstition, as it was recorded weeks before the Bears had officially secured their spot in the Super Bowl. Ultimately, it was the bravado of the legendary team & everyone involved in the making of the song that marked a major turning point in the relationship between sports, music, and pop culture. The Shuffle is a short film directed by producer / filmmaker Jeff Cameron, also director of The Way Up - Chris Long & the Waterboys doc previously. Executive produced by Ross Ketover, Keith Cossrow, Ken Rodgers, Jessica Boddy, Nancy Abraham, Lisa Heller, Bentley Weiner. HBO will debut The Shuffle streaming on HBO Max starting November 25th, 2025 this fall. Who's down?
