"One for the Road:" Happy Birthday, Coach!
On this date in 1939 a local cult hero was born in Carnegie, PA. We're talking, of course, about Mike Ditka. Tonight we're going to celebrate the occasion by donning our evening mustache and widow's peak, heading to Iron Mike's Grill for a pork chop and a bottle of Kick Ass Red. Then we'll spit on the floor at the restaurant, come home and watch this classic video.
