Former Bears coach and current ESPN analyst Mike Ditka isn't one to pull punches often. He certainly didn't when asked about his opinion of the Redskins name controversy.

Ditka, as transcribed by Seth Allen of the Washington Post, told RedskinHistorian.com during an interview he thinks any debate about the name is "so stupid it's appalling."

“What's all the stink over the Redskin name?” Ditka said. “It's so much [expletive] it's incredible. We're going to let the liberals of the world run this world. It was said out of reverence, out of pride to the American Indian. Even though it was called a Redskin, what are you going to call them, a Brownskin?

"This is so stupid it's appalling, and I hope that owner keeps fighting for it and never changes it, because the Redskins are part of an American football history, and it should never be anything but the Washington Redskins. That's the way it is."

Ditka is a notorious conservative; he recently said he regrets not running for Senate because it would've prevented the President from being in office.

It's not surprising he doesn't want the name changed or that he doesn't want the name changed because it's been that way "since the beginning of football."

“Its been the name of the team since the beginning of football," Ditka said. "It has nothing to do with something that happened lately, or something that somebody dreamed up. This was the name, period. Leave it alone. These people are silly -- asinine, actually, in my opinion."

Ditka then took his boldest stance of all, saying he "I admire" Skins owner Dan Snyder.

“I admire him for it,” Ditka said. “Really, I think it's tradition, it's history, it's part of the National Football League. It was about Sammy Baugh and all the guys who were Redskins way back then. I didn't think that Lombardi and Halas never had a problem with it, why would all these other idiots have a problem with the name? I'm sorry.

"I'm not very tolerant when it comes to the liberals who complain about everything.”

With skin that color and the love of booze that's clearly a genetic trait in his lineage, why melanoma or DUI hasn't taken him out of circulation is just a shame.

Given your 'sense of humor' and the topic of this thread, I totally thought the payoff was gonna be way different for this.

Well.....Ditka's skin could be described as "red" and you're saying he's a heavy alcoholic......

M&H were playing this this morning.... i just assumed it was some old coot calling in to the score before i finally recognized ditka's voice... this may get him a quiet vacation from his espn gig.... especially if social media insinuates his comments on the 1960's were directed at the civil rights movement

you know i'm pretty sure that someone pulled all the different dumps of the super bowl shuffle off of youtube. who the fuck has this shit monetized in 2014? are they selling downloads/dvds/tapes of the shuffle and youtube was fucking up their business?

at least nobody has the balls to pull "let's ram it" off of youtube

edit: i just noticed the video that came up is 8/8/14. so somebody DID pull it down but rams fans got their game locked. smh.

yeah, I don't think the fellas will bother much with this one, outside of a joke here and there.

what'll instead be a topic (assuming no real news is happening) is Bernstein taking down the strawman (sorry, 'people on twitter') where everyone is saying the Little League team is stopping violence.

Has he addressed the ALS challenge?

He seemed to really like it because it was monetizing things.

So let me get this straight, ALS has raised way more money than anyone expected, and because of that I'm supposed to just ignore the millions of gallons of water wasted that could go to children in third world countries, help the Ebola crisis, help end the drought in California, etc?

Glad they've succeeded in all sincerity, but I'm surprised at how much we ignore the other side of the coin.

That tweet is one of the dumbest things I've heard.

How could water from my tap help the Ebola crisis or end the drought in California?

Buy a long hose.

Not to mention, we all "waste" gallons of water every day. Were just using our "waste" for a decent cause

Awful tweet of awful thought from a dangerously dumb person that is desperately trying to sound not dumb.

That Rodewald. I'm so jealous of his radio gig.

Just because I thought it was interesting. Let's say that instead of doing the challenge(which I'm not because it's dumb) we all used FedEx to send over the water to California.



So, we'd basically be able to do the equivalent of an inch of rain on one fairly large farm.

I suspect that Rodewald was at the forefront of the "Don't Buy Gas on Tuesday!" campaign to help combat high gas prices several years ago.

Did he also say 'wet boobies'? #YesAllMen

Is this a serious thought?
