Mike Ditka has passed away

[Acceptablename]

Lord it comes to us all. Towering figure RIP

 

[Redsfan_83]

He was a cowboy too. In case you forgot

Will never forget

He's talking football with coach Landry now.

 

[Rayman70]

He was the anti Jake Ferguson.

 

[Reverend Conehead]

RIP, Iron Mike. He was an excellent tight end for the Cowboys.

Mike Ditka was positively larger than life. As a Cowboy, they had an incredible run of success with him in the organization - all five Super Bowl appearances under Landry happened when Ditka was either a player or coach, and when he left in 1982, a lot of toughness left the Cowboys with him. Ditka was truly one of one from a personality standpoint, but he was a revolutionary tight end when he came into the league. A pillar of many of our youths in football. He also took up the cause for retired players to be better cared for, and never met a subject that he wasn't afraid to tackle. Love him or hate him, you won't forget him. RIP to an all timer.

I like to think he died raging at the TV in his chair with a cold one in his hand and a cigar in his mouth, watching last night's incompetence. RIP Iron Mike. Legend.

If landry retired when roger retired. Which he should have done. Cowboys would have won those three title games with ditka as head coach.

I am. The point is, the guy was a helluva player, even better man. Loved this game. He personafied what it means to be accountable. Something this team never does.

RIP, Iron Mike. He was an excellent tight end for the Cowboys.

Amen. Plus he held his players to account. He demanded your best in practice and games.
