That he's never been one of the often promoted 85 Bears was an acknowledgement of the fact that he never cared for Ditka or the organization, and that they never cared for him much either.

Total bullshit.

Unhappy people that are bitter and jealous are tough to market.

He's a perpetual victim. Of himself.

Is there a reason you seem to be taking this personally?

Is there a reason the unfortunate truth about Dennis lead you to try and change the subject of the thread?

I don't think about, nor was I a big fan of the guy. I clearly know part of the history and was chiming in to possibly illustrate what may be one his motives. You're the one hyperbolically calling my characterization of both sides total bullshit and wrongly claiming that I'm trying to change the subject.

I think as little of McKinnon as I do the Bears organization and the McCaskey family in their team ownership capacity. Your personal fondness for Aunt Ginny has you over your skis on this one.

Sorry, that's not correct either. You must have missed my response above to PM.

I agree with Nas' sentiments. If you level that type of accusation against anyone, you should bring some evidence or just STFU.

Exactly what part the disdain they both share for each other that I noted are you missing? Neither sides were particularly easy to root for and as you yourself noted, there was plenty to torch.

I have had no comment on or insight into his gambling allegations, I'll simply state that I have no interest in or care for any of the relevant parties. Or his new allegations afaik.

Frankly it's my distaste for all of them that has me not caring for the franchise one bit for well over thirty years now. And my feelings about Ditka are well known here, so I'll just see my way out.

You are a lawyer.

What part about McKinnon slandering Ditka are you missing?

Or do you believe it's OK because to publicly slander people if you don't like them?

He didn't miss out on it though.

He had a media job, and also parlayed that affiliation into an Offensive Coordinator job at Benedictine University after Leslie Frazier recommended him.

My brother-in-law played there when he was there and had nothing good to say about him.

You didn't seem to mind when Ditka slandered Obama, because he didn't like him.

I'm talking about when Ditka publicly attacked President Obama.

That's pretty vague Bob.

Would posting the definition of slander help you to sort this out properly?

Silky D said he had proof. Then he mumbled something about how the Fridge carry for the TD wasn't part of the original game plan.

That's not exactly proof. Maybe his book goes further.

I think it was a blow out when he got the ball. How hard is it to tell fridge to take a hand off up the middle even if it wasn't in the game plan?

Ditka is a "Fuck you" guy as we all know. Maybe he was just sticking it to the Patriots at that point. Twisting the knife.

Maybe Ditka did bet the prop. But Silky D has no proof. He's trying to sell books.

He screwed over Payton. He realized it after the game. It was pure vanity by Ditka.

The Bears had Perry attempt a half back pass early in the game, so it would seem bizarre that they wouldn't have a dive play for Perry at the goal line in the game plan.
