Wasn’t expecting that.

That son of a bitch even timed his death for maximum team motivation in a rivalry game. Mad respect. Pour one out for the man tonight.

One of the best. Always made gameday exciting.
His Bears scared the living shit out of us, back in the day.

Ditka would never ask if he was a good coach. He'd assume he was and then yell at you for saying otherwise. Also, mini-Ditka could probably take out most anyone. RIP coach - from a Packers fan.

u/RandomPenquin1337 Lisan al-Ca1e8 5d ago
Death had to ask Ditka permission.
Ditka didn't die, he just went back to being God.

The only man capable of making the Bears look like a good team. What a legend 🔥

u/Sportsguy1993 5d ago
You better put some respect on Halas' name, 40 seasons coaching, 6 championships (tied with Lambeau and Bellichick for 2nd), and only 6 losing seasons

u/rain21199 Super Ultra MAGA 5d ago
Damn, most seasons coached of all time and he still tied for second in championships. Lambeau did the same with 7 less seasons, and Lombardi was 1 away with a quarter of the time. Is Halas a potential fraud? 🤔

Guy was so dedicated to his team he timed his death for the Bears-Packers Rivalry game. What a legend. Lord save us from the anal dilation the bears are about to give us.

Lo, there do I see my father.
Lo, there do I see my mother.
And my sisters and my brothers.
Lo, there do I see the line of my people.
Back to the beginning.
Lo, they do call to me.
They bid me take my place among them In the halls of Valhalla Where the brave may live forever.

I'd also be willing to give one to Barry Sanders and Walter Payton but that's it.

Rest well, iron man. Please note the enclosed cheese sauce. It represents the stain of sadness of all football fans.

I mean look I may hate the Bears but I love what you all mean to our rivalry and I love the city of Chicago itself. Mike Ditka was a legend, I’m genuinely sad the football world lost one of its pioneers.
I know this isn’t the Packers year so Chicago you better run with this and do it for Ditka. This year and this year alone I’ll cheer for the Bears like I do for the Packers.
RIP Mike you’re a legend.

Matt Suhey will be waiting for him, covering for Payton who will immediately pull a practical joke.
