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.
