I'm a 38yo Chicago sports fan and resident. I'm too young to remember Ditka coaching, but my Dad has told me stories about him and the legendary 85 Bears.

There is no team in the history of sports more beloved in Chicago than the 85 Bears and there is no coach more beloved in Chicago than coach Ditka. You can feel the presence of his personality to this day. Chicago will forever feel this loss. Rip Coach. I know you're yelling "Fuck the Packers" with God on the couch this Sunday.
