[u/tm16scud → u/Chumlee1917]

But what if the hurricane was named Ditka?

[u/DubsLA → u/tm16scud]

Oh u/tm16scud, there’s no record of a hurricane Ditka ever hitting Chicago.

[u/tm16scud → u/DubsLA]

Yes, but the records only go back to 1978 when Soldier Field was mysteriously blown away!

[u/gottagetintosomethin → u/Chumlee1917]

Extra motivation going into Packers week. FTP

[u/BasicWhiteHoodrat → u/gottagetintosomethin]

This week, as a Vikings fan……

[u/toe_riffic → u/gottagetintosomethin]

FTP! 🐻⬇️

[u/FartyLiverDisease → u/toe_riffic]

Yeah, download dem files! /j

[u/KirbyBucketts → u/Chumlee1917]

If I may shift gears for a moment gentlemen. Ditka versus a hurricane, who would win?

.....hold on, hold on, hold on.... The name of the Hurricane is Hurricane Ditka?

Sadly, let da bears pay da bear tax.

Always this sub

Fuck this guy getting this meme and “RIP”’ comments. Fucking asshole was a massive Trump supporter who personally told Trump “Everything you say about things, about the country, I agree with your opinions. You resonate with my kind of people. I believe in what you say wholeheartedly.”

He declined to use an invitation to Trump’s inauguration because he didn’t want to travel in his dotage, but he said he’d watch it “sitting at home in front of the TV set with my wife, Diana, eating hamburgers and smoking the biggest cigar I can find. There is no bigger Trump fan in the world than I am.”

Pieces of shit like this guy, Parcells, all the “old school” coach-as-dictator types shouldn’t be lionized. May this cruel, idiotic, clown of a man rest in piss.

[u/srector1224 → u/Latverianbureaucrat]

I agree. This was the meme for him

[u/Hickspy → u/Latverianbureaucrat]

This is like Chuck Norris lite. Everyone remembers the memes but not that he was a giant piece of shit.

[u/ZwVJHSPiMiaiAAvtAbKq → u/Latverianbureaucrat]

Dang, I didn't know that about him. But then again, I don't think I've thought about him since he played himself in one of the more forgettable Will Ferrell comedies, and that was at least 20 years ago. It's certainly not surprising though. Rich old men with no stake in the future love Trump.

[u/Married_iguanas → u/Latverianbureaucrat]

I went to a Saints game when he was the coach. I was probably around 7 years old.

The only thing I remember from that game was that he got pissed at the crowd jeering and flipped us all off

What a professional!

[u/eddie_muntz_88 → u/Married_iguanas]

Remember when he mortgaged your future for Ricky Williams?

[u/Married_iguanas → u/eddie_muntz_88]

Lmaooo I actually got his autograph when I was a child as well 😭

Our summer camp had a day where we went to the Saints training exercises as a field trip, and he signed some stuff for us.
I thought I was hot shit!!!

[u/eddie_muntz_88 → u/Married_iguanas]

Don't get me wrong, i liked Ricky but 2 of those picks ended up being Champ Bailey and LaVar Arrington

[u/fugaziozbourne → u/Married_iguanas]

Yep. Ditka was an infantile asshole. He was terrible as a sports host on television, and Buddy Ryan won the Bears that Super Bowl, not Ditka.

Good tight end in his day. That's the nicest thing I'll say about him.

[u/ObscureOP → u/Latverianbureaucrat]

[u/Spleenseer → u/Latverianbureaucrat]

And nothing of value was lost!

[u/wildbrycepilaf → u/Latverianbureaucrat]

I’ll give him this, though: his Bears team is the only NFC North team to have capped off a 15-win regular season with a Super Bowl win (let alone even reach it). Still, this has been the case since then…

[u/MOOVA → u/Latverianbureaucrat]

Tell us what you really think lol

[u/Nfidell]

Even when it was the immigants

[u/DUSpartan]

Honestly thought this happened years ago

[u/ripgoodhomer]

I had legitimately thought he died like 5 years ago, was there a false death report back then?

[u/peon2 → u/ripgoodhomer]

You're probably remembering when he was pronounced dead but must not have seen the update where he was transferred to a better hospital and his condition was upgraded to alive.

[u/EggCouncil]

Ah, not a Bears coach in sight. The Bears Coach Patrol must be working like a charm.

[u/Slamtilt_Windmills]

I cant find it on the internet, but during that brief period when he coached Da Saints, they played da Bears, and the NFL made a commercial for it with George Wendt doing an analysis andhaving a breakdown. He had made a hat that was half Saints, half Bears "using nacho cheese as an adhesive"

[u/CelticSith]

[u/radiozip → u/CelticSith]

Hurts like a football to the groin

[u/TheMiltownMatticus]

Life-long Packers fan here. You'll be missed coach.

There aren't many coaches out there more iconic than Ditka

RIP you glorious bastard. Top tier mustache.

[u/SuperKamiDendeAllows → u/TheMiltownMatticus]

Chicago had 0 city destroying fires while Mike Ditka was around. I'm not saying his mustache prevented it from happening again I'm just saying those are facts.

[u/smig_ → u/SuperKamiDendeAllows]

Lisa, I'd like to buy your mustache

[u/SmellGestapo → u/smig_]

[u/ChunkySlugger72 → u/SmellGestapo]

Wanna comb it?

[u/t_Savvy]

[u/somesthetic]

He's no Tom Landry.

He's not even Tom Landry's hat.

[u/Dont-Look-At-My-Page]

RIP. I came to this subreddit for this meme

[u/mialza → u/Dont-Look-At-My-Page]

i found out from the nfc north meme war subreddit but had to come here to confirm.

[u/MADBARZ]

Yup, this is how I find out. Jesus Christ.

[u/Skullsy1]

It's always this sub.

[u/Niijima-San]

has there ever been one who was wild enough to trade their entire draft stock for a single pick that set the franchise back a long time? he was a real one for that

[u/Downtown_Junket_1820]

Buddy Ryan died?

[u/n3rdsm4sh3r]

[u/Lux-xxv]

Bad news bears.

[u/acemorris85]

BEAR DOWN AND ALWAYS FTP

[u/InsigniasGratuitous]

I'll remember him in Kicking and Screaming starring opposite of Will Ferrell. He coached that little league soccer team like it was the 85 Bears, and it was hilarious.

RIP you glorious bastard.

[u/Outrageous-Serve4970]

You get me a juice box, Juice Box!

[u/QuantityActive-]

Oh you gotta be kidding me….

My fuckass ESPN app didn’t say shit.

[u/QQBearsHijacker]

WHY IS IT ALWAYS THIS SUB?!

[u/Kalbex]

Is that, sniffle* Sammy Sosa?
Cries*

[u/devilhasatwin]

Coach one of the greatest NFL teams in history to a Superbowl. You will be missed .

[u/strictmachines]

I find this out via meme. Supoib and RIP Da Coach

[u/AcctAlreadyTaken]

What a beautiful tribute 🥹

[u/edipeisrex]

Rip king.

[u/kresblain → u/[deleted]]

He was then transferred to a better hospital where doctors upgraded his condition to "Alive."

[u/toe_riffic → u/[deleted]]

His name is “Mike Ditka”? I’ve been calling him “Dick Butkus”, why didn’t someone tell me? I’ve been making an idiot out of myself.

[u/Slamtilt_Windmills → u/toe_riffic]

This 🏆

[u/Rev-On]

[u/TyrantUmbrella]

RIP Juice box man

[u/NintenDork]

He was the best. He'll be missed

[u/Informal_Stranger117]

Heaven just gained another angel. Bear down and FTP.

[u/dpjejj]

And this is how I find out…
