I can't help but think of the SNL skits... Bill Swerski’s Superfans: Bears vs. Giants - SNL "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

After Ditka left the Bears I stopped watching or supporting the Bears or the NFL. RIP Mike! | |||

Da Bears!,, RIP Coach Ditka, he was one of the greats... | |||

His 1985 Bears were something else. What a great player, coach, and individual. | |||

Sorry to hear about his passing. Always respected the man and enjoyed hearing what he had to say. | |||

The passing of another legend. RIP Coach. You earned it through playing and coaching. He was one of the first guys I heard talk about how meager the retired NFL guys were paid back when $100 dollars was a lot of money. -------- After the game, the King and the pawn go into the same box. | |||

Thanks for posting. I was LOL the whole time. I love how surly he was with the press especially the "investigative journalism" comment.
