Some of you Bears fans may be relatively familiar with a guy named Mike Ditka. As it so happens, the man we affectionately refer to as Da Coach is taking part in a series of DVDs that focus on coaching football, and he knew that the best place to market that DVD is with the audience of the best Bears fans on the planet: Windy City Gridiron. So, here's the video in all it's wonderful glory:
Link (pops).
How awesome is that?
By the way, I checked out the DVD series... there are other coaches doing this as well, like Sean Payton, Mike Singletary, Rex Ryan, etc. You can find those videos on YouTube, so make sure to check them out if you are interested.

had an autotuned remix version of Ditka, Singletary and Sean Peyton’s coaching DVD clips that was pretty entertaining. I’d grab a link for you, but I’m not about to go there from work, lol.
I like how Da Coach
tells the cue card what it’s going to say.

Watching this inspired me to build a house, club seal clubbers, and reorganize the TSA.

Shooting from 1000 yards I can split a 1/4 of an atom in to an 1/8 of an atom, sitting on top of 1/2 of an atom, with out changing the molecular structure!
I just went out
and killed our turkey by staring it down and making it succumb to Ditka power! BTW, the bird was so frightened, it cleaned and stuffed itself.
Happy Thanksgiving Bears fans!
It's 106 miles to Chicago, we have a full tank of gas, 1/2 pack of cigarettes...it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses.
Da Coach!
His awesomeness eclipses the greatness of even Patrick Mannelly
Coach once kicked Chuck Norris so hard in the noots that Chuck spit up two diamonds
Time to start wearing the sweater-vest again!

Definitely going to check this out. Also like the idea of having the coaches with ex-Bear ties (Samurai, Rex Ryan)
*Shudder*
So awesome it made me shudder. I vote we carry the coach on a gold throne into Halas hall and demand Angelo surrender his job to Da Coach immediately.

Just saying he
PLAYED for the greatest Chicago Bears team in history
The 1963 Championship Chicago Bears!!
that year he had 59 receptions for 794 yards and no fumbles
Coach Jerry Williams of the Eagles invented the nickle package as an attempt to stop Ditka, but nothing and no one can stop Ditka he had 4 receptions in that game for 59 yards and the Bears won 16 to 7.
I might also note that Bears DC George Allen took that formation and used it as the center piece pf tje greatest defemsive team of all time up to that point.
Go Ditka! Go Bears!

Of all the days I have to drive 14 hours VA it has to be the day Ditka’s WCG video is posted. Of course I can’t watch it on my phone… fml.

And I still think this is awesome.

The opening
In the opening you mention him being responsible for bringing the Lombardi trophy but you leave out a slew of other great things he is responsible for: the sun, the moon, the stars…etc.
I wanna watch the rest of that episode now
"I'm too drunk to taste this chicken" - Colonel Sanders
It's all about THE []_[] baby!!!
That video just reminds me of the reality
that Ditka is probably the only 70 year old man that can kick my ass around the room and probably suck down a cold one while he is whipping me up. He is the scariest 70 year old on the planet.
I will still never forget the day he told a flock of reporters “how do you tell a football player he stinks a little bit?” Da coach is the bomb.
White Sox fans need not apply.

Does he play competitive tennis twice a week at that age?
My gramps is still doing that at the age of (I think) 83. And he runs me all over the damn court when we play. The man is not human, he is a force of nature.
But yeah. DITKA!!!

Damn, if I watch this video every morning, I might be motivated to become President of the Frickin' USA by the end of the month
And, yes, I know elections are next year. IT DON’T MATTER TO DITKA!!!
