Ditka Says He Won't Run for U.S. Senate
2004-07-15
Rats. My first rule for politicans: they don't have to be honest, they don't have to be competent, but they DO have to be entertaining. Ditka would have done that for sure.

#6  Say it ain't so, Mike. I was looking forward to voting early and often for you. So was my dog. She's registered in at least two precincts. You coulda been a contender. :(

#5  Ditka would have won that vote going away. If you say "Ditka" in Illinois you might as well be saying "Jesus".

#4  Da Coach woulda won by about 118% of the vote, my friend.

#3  S**t! I was looking forward to Iron Mike amongst the metrosexuals and milquetoasts. This is not good for the country.

#2  Darn, I was hoping to see Ditka throw his wad of chewing gum at Hillary during a C-SPAN televised hearing.

#1  Yep Steve. If Ditka could run Da Bears, he could run the senate. I hope he reconsiders. He is a free thinker. To put a game plan together each week in the NFL requires mucho macho.

BTW, I was fortunate enough to head coach a youth football program for five years. Nothing ever was as cool. 5th, sixth and 7eventh graders. I think a twelve year old boy, with the will to play hard, to earn his time, is the most noble spirit.
