• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Before we get to Mike EA's top five games of
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: the weekend coming up here, Mike Ditka passed away 86.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: He is just one of those figures in the NFL
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: that is larger than life. But I'm not certain many people,
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: especially the younger portion of the audience, really knows about
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: Mike Ditka and what Mike Ditka.
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: Was all about.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: You have sound that would lend to what Mike Ditka
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: was all about, right?
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we have two sounds that kind of encapsulate who
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: Mike Ditka was as a person. And, Stu, you mentioned
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: the younger generation not really knowing much about Mike Ditka
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: in terms of the football player or the football coach.
• 1:14
  Speaker 5: Yep.
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: Revolutionary for that tight end position where a tight end
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: putting up a thousand yards receiving in a 14 game
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: season in 1961.
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: Would be like the equivalent of a receiver putting up
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: like 3000 yards today in a single season.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: A great player, great coach, only guy in NFL history
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: to win a Superbowl as a head coach, a player
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: and an assistant coach.
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: How about that?
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: And he he's a coach that looks like, like if
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: you were making a list of, Coaches that look like
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: they can't wait to punch you square.
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: Between the nose.
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: It's Mike Ditka's list.
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: It's him and Marty Schottenheimer.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: Woody Hayes? Well, Woody Hayes did it. Buddy Ryan, too.
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: Looks like he couldn't wait.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: Well, Buddy Ryan got in a fight with Mike Ditka.
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: Can I throw out a surprise name I think that
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: would fit in this list of coaches that look like
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: they can't wait to punch you square between the nose?
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: So these are coaches who can't wait to punch you
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: in the.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: Face, right?
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: Square between the nose, yeah.
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: Okay. All right. Yeah, go ahead.
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: Bo Pelini it's a good.
• 2:15
  Speaker 6: One yes it isn't bad yes does Vrabel Does Rabel
• 2:19
  Speaker 6: want to punch you right in the face? He's got
• 2:21
  Speaker 6: a little bit of a sourpuss on him.
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: Like a snarl, yeah.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he does have a snarl. I'm trying to think.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Does Mike Singletary look like someone who wants to punch
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: you square in the face?
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: That's a good one.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Who do you want to punch in the face? Mike
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: McDaniel for me.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: Or like the kicker that comes in and misses a
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: big kick. Like Mike Ditka would have punched that kicker
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: between the nose.
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: He had a great kicker.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Kevin Butler never missed a kick. That team was one
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: of the all-time great teams in NFL history.
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: He was the head coach. of perhaps they didn't go undefeated.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: They lost to the Dolphins on a Monday night. Dan
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Marino had a great game offensively. But that is one
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: of the five greatest teams, I could say that safely,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: in NFL history. And I think many people would say
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: that the 85 Bears, with Mike Ditka as their head coach,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: was the greatest team in NFL history.
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: So, Stu, the first call that we have today, or
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: the first sound that we have today, is a fan
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: who called Mike Ditka a baby on a call-in radio show.
• 3:29
  Speaker 7: Why did it appear that Mike was holding back, trying
• 3:33
  Speaker 7: not to cry like the.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: Baby that he is?
• 3:35
  Speaker 7: Well, Neil, I tell you, what you are, I can't
• 3:40
  Speaker 7: say on the air. But I tell you what, I'm
• 3:44
  Speaker 7: 53 years old, and my office is at 250 North Washington.
• 3:49
  Speaker 7: Anytime you want to meet me there, you call me
• 3:52
  Speaker 7: back on the air. You tell me what time and when,
• 3:54
  Speaker 7: and I'll whip your ass.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: You got that, big boy?
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: It's easy to.
• 4:02
  Speaker 7: Hide behind a microphone, son. Let's get your face out
• 4:06
  Speaker 7: in public, and let's live where people have to see
• 4:08
  Speaker 7: you every day, and we'll see who the gutless wonder is.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: That's Mike Ditka for you, especially people in the younger
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: demographic of the audience here. That is Mike Ditka. That
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: is how he was. That is how he is. That's
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: how he'll always be. He passed away at the age
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: of 86. That's also how radio sounded in the 80s.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: A little tingy, yeah.
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: We'll see who the gutless wonder is, is like such
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: a good line from somebody like Mike Ditka, who's probably
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: sitting in some restaurant in Chicago doing this coach's show.
• 4:35
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: Ditka's restaurant. This other sound.
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: Yes, exactly. This other sound comes from his time with
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: the Saints, where the Saints get off to a rough start.
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: And the last thing Mike Ditka wants to do when
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: his team is getting off to a rough start is
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: talk to reporters.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Well, let's keep in mind here, he traded an entire
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: draft class to get Ricky Williams.
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: And this is that frustration boiling over when the reporters
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: just keep pestering him with questions.
• 4:59
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: It doesn't matter which one run.
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: There'll be a quarterback that'll be named next week that'll
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: be the starter. There's three quarterbacks on this football team.
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: Whichever one starts, starts. Whichever ones don't will back him up.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: Period.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: Cut and dry.
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: It's nobody's concern but ours.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: Nobody's. Next. Injuries from the game. Talk to the trainer.
• 5:20
  Speaker 7: Next. Mike, why are you in such a bad mood?
• 5:23
  Speaker 7: What do you care?
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 5:27
  Speaker 5: If you were 2-7, you'd be in a bad mood too.
• 5:30
  Speaker 7: What next? Mike, it's just more like a training camp
• 5:34
  Speaker 7: type practice as opposed to a regular season. Yes.
• 5:37
  Speaker 6: Next.
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: Not very much fun, is it?
• 5:44
  Speaker 6: No.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: All right. I'll see you guys. Classic.
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: You have to read the room there. If you're a
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: reporter in that situation, you can't ask them, why are
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: you in a bad mood?
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: They were terrified to be honest though. If, if the
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: saints were seven and two, Mike would be in a
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: bad mood.
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: This sound though. It's like, it's like going into like
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: a tiger's den and just trying to poke the tiger
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: with a stick and be like, Hey tiger, why are you,
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: why are you so mad? It's like, You have to remember,
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: at the end of the day, the tiger is a tiger.
• 6:13
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: Put it on the poll.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: At the end of the day, is a tiger a tiger?
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Did you hear the fear in the reporter's voices, Mikey?
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the tremble.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Because with each passing question, the fear, it grows more
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: and more with each passing reporter until they just stop.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: Play it one more time.
• 6:30
  Speaker 5: Matter which one run there'll be a quarterback that'll be
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: named next week that'll be the starter there's three quarterbacks
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: on this football team whichever one starts starts whichever ones
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: don't will back him up period cut and dry it's
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: nobody's concern but ours nobody's.
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: Next injuries from the uh game talk to the trainer next.
• 6:51
  Speaker 7: All right mike why are you in such a bad mood.
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: What do you care jesus right okay you were two
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: and seven you'd be in a bad mood too What next?
• 7:02
  Speaker 7: Mike, is this more like a training campsite practice than
• 7:05
  Speaker 7: a regular season? Yes.
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: Next. Not very much fun, is it?
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: No?
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: No.
• 7:16
  Speaker 7: All right.
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: I'll see you guys.
• 7:19
  Speaker 6: Now, if you pay attention, it's almost like he respected
• 7:23
  Speaker 6: that last reporter.
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: Almost.
• 7:24
  Speaker 5: Like, he.
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: Like, almost.
• 7:26
  Speaker 6: Like, it was like one of those, like, don't... Listen,
• 7:28
  Speaker 6: I'm going to give you an answer, and the answer
• 7:30
  Speaker 6: is yes.
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: Shut up after that.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: I love that he's angry with the reporters because his
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: team is so lousy at two and seven.
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: Like, it's their fault.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: I mean.
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: But that was Mike Ditka.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: And I'm telling you, 7-2, we would have given probably
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: somewhere in the vicinity of the same answer.
• 7:49
