This has to be for some sort of promotional something or other. That may be former Chicago Bears coach Mike Ditka, but even if he lost a bet and had to wear a Green Bay Packers jersey, he wouldn’t fucking get it personalized.
“Hey, I’m Mike Ditka. I’m just trying to play it low key. That’s why I got my name on the back of this Packers jersey.”
Three things come to mind here.
- Ditka has said he likes the Packers before and has praised Aaron Rodgers profusely.
- Ditka may be losing it. He just ripped a giant fart on Monday Night Countdown earlier this week.
- The number — 45 — is an odd choice. It was probably most notably worn by Hall of Fame defensive back Emlen Tunnell from 1959-61. Ditka wore 89.
Ditka wearing green and gold… that deserves an asterisk. *
The bandwagon is gettin pretty full.
That tends to happen to 91 year old bandwagons that are still going strong.
Maybe it’s 45 for Superbowl 45. You know, the one the Pack won after beating the Bears in the NFCCG.
