RIP Mike Ditka

This one hits home. I have never been able to maintain loyalty to any one NFL team, but the Bears were my first love. My dad idolized Ditka. I sported one of these bad boys for Halloween '85. 
He is one of the last of the "old school" football guys. RIP to a legend (even accounting for the Rickey Williams debacle)
Isaias needs to be renamed “Hurricane Ditka” in honor of his passing.
This is a tough one......the 85 Bears and Ditka were idols in our world growing up
World needs more Ditka type men

I had that same uniform. I think the helmet is somewhere around my house today - passed it on to my kids.
I think there is a defensive lineman from state in that skit.I bet you still know the words to this.
Can’t remember name
Tyrone Keys it was. He was playing an instrument in the superbowl shuffle
The man who forced the Don Jacobs fumble in the 6-3 win against Bama in 1980.
A beast!

Jim Harbaugh had a lot of good things to say about Ditka today in his press conference. I didn't realize he played quarterback for the Bears when Ditka was there.
Leslie Frazier, from Columbus, was on that 85 team. Also a prince according to my uncle who played at Lee High with him.
Really nice guy, at least back in the old days. My wife and I were seated across the isle from them on a
very long flight to Hawaii on biz trip while he and his were going to NFL annual meeting. Got to take with him during some down time. Stayed away from asking football questions...figured most folks hit him up for that.
Anyway, really seemed like a good dude.
