[–] cattywampas@lemmy.world [S] 15 points 4 weeks ago (1 child) RIP coach. Bears by a million on Sunday. permalink fedilink source hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] PancakesCantKillMe@lemmy.world 11 points 4 weeks ago Daaaaaa Bears! I was not a Bears fan and learned to dislike them/Ditka at the time (there was the SB Shuffle, The Fridge, and McMahon). I do admit I loved Walter Payton, but that was easy to do. Ditka spit his gum out and hit a woman wayyy back (Bears vs 49ers MNF I think) and it just lent to the whole thing. Deffo had respect for them, and later I pivoted into liking Ditka after he retired. He had a great football mind and his teams in the 80's were superlative. RIP to a legend. permalink fedilink source parent
