I saw this little tidbit on Deadspin's Why Your Team Sucks for the Bears. It was in the comment section:
"Missed the WYTS deadline for this year, but four weeks ago the corporate entity that I pretend to work at while they pay me a meager wage decided to bring in a celebrity speaker to get us excited about filling out our TPS reports. Being Chicago, they hired Mike Ditka. After a painful incoherant 15 minute speech, that mostly was about the ‘85 Bears because that’s legitimately the only thing most Bears fans give a shit about, there was a Q & A. One dumbass pops up and says, “Hi Mike, fellow PSU alum, free JoePa!”. A uncomfortable wave rolled through the auditorium and the VP of Special Projects who was MCing the event made a move to the microphone that Ditka was clenching with both hands. Ditka stared at the guy, chomping on gum or his tongue and then said, “I went to Pitt, but that whole Sandusky thing was a witchhunt.”
...and we were done, the VP wrestled the mic out of Ditka’s hands and ended the event, thanking “Iron Mike”. And being Chicago, he still got a ****ing standing ovation.
I hate this city..."
