The Friday Flashback: Mike Ditka Bloopers

By Chuck Sudo in Miscellaneous on Jul 18, 2008 1:00PM

We were thinking the other day about the Bears' Super Bowl Shuffle years. Every Sunday night on Channel 2, Mike Ditka would have a call-in show with sportscaster (and Bears great) Johnny Morris that usually were nothing more than drunk fests, which made them entertaining. It's still considered blasphemy in some parts to make fun of Da Coach, but damn if he doesn't make it easy.

Let's start with the best reason to avoid Mike Ditka's Kick-Ass Red.

There's more.

Who can forget his lightspeed version of "Take Me Out to the Ballgame?"

Here, Ditka gets a little tongue tied on "Sunday NFL Countdown."

Did you know that he did a video called "The Grabowski Shuffle?"

Finally, Coach shows that sometimes you just have to scratch that itch.
