Sure, we all rip on the guy, but people still pay him to do commercials and move product! even if some of it is his own, they pay him to be part of it. You would think his reach is only chicago, but I just saw a new OVERSTOCK.com commercial and its a Ditka press conference commercial. It's quite a run for anyone to be that well known for over 30+ years now. EA Presents Ditka2015? |

People make fun now but I give him much respect. Monetary wise I would guess Madden is the only other coach to be bigger then Ditka. |

Still the best coach the Bears have had since Halas. No one else has come close. Lovie choked in the SB because he let the Off. coach call plays that were reckless. |

That game looks bad, not "Tom Landry Strategy Football" bad but bad. TLSF was the absolute worst. You didn't even play the game, you just called plays. |

When they had commercials of Ditka bringing towels to guests. Lol And if you check out trip advisor, its one bad review after another. |

Through hard work, dedication, screaming and good mustache, Ditka rose from the rural coal mines of Pennsylvania to live a fruitful and storied life. He is a true American success story. Sauzza... |

I don't think a Ditka game would work. He'd shut down having the players in it because they get paid. |
