The hall-of-famer and ESPN commentator suffered a stroke at his Chicago country club on Friday. Today, he went on the radio. Details, after the jump.

Dressing up your kids like mustachio’d football coaches is a tradition as old as Halloween itself. After the jump, see perhaps the greatest coach costume of all time. Baby Ditka reigns.

Mike Ditka, the mustachio’d man who guided the Chicago Bears to a Super Bowl XX victory, and who I enjoy watching break down the NFL on Sundays on ESPN, has a son. On Sunday morning, that son was arrested for DUI for the second time since May.

Author Jeff Pearlman has a new book coming out, Sweetness: The Enigmatic Life of Walter Payton. The book is causing some controversy, largely because it alleges a heretofore un-talked-about darker side of Payton’s life. Among those unhappy with it: Payton’s old coach, Mike Ditka.

Mike Ditka is an old-school type of guy. Sarah Palin built her reputation on being an old-school type of woman. So it makes sense that the iconic former leader of Da Bears might harbor a fondness for the former Alaska governor/vice presidential candidate…and wouldn’t you know it, he does.

Mike Ditka will be appearing on the season 8 finale of Entourage. There are many possibilites for his cameo, but we think we’ve identified the keepers.

At left, you see legendary ex-Bears (and Saints, but that didn’t go so well) coach Mike Ditka. Apparently, he’s taken to wearing Uggs. You can see that magic happen after the jump.
