This has already been posted over at KSK, but it’s too surreal to not include here. It’s former NFL coach and current ESPN analyst Mike Ditka. Dancing. Oh yes.

The 80s-style weirdness is ratcheted up nicely, starting with Ditka walking into an empty bar WITH A BRIEFCASE and playing a game of foosball BY HIMSELF. Why foosball? Hey, it’s 11-on-11. That’s just like football! And then there’s a horrible band with Excessive High-Five Syndrome and a bunch of dancers without pants. Mons pubis? Let’s do this.

It’s weird. No wonder everyone did cocaine during the 80s. At least now we have World of Warcraft. Read the rest of this entry »

As was noted in the link dump, Paul Hornung is all for the NFL players of today spending more of their time getting laid. As this video from Deuce of Davenport shows, the rest of their time should go to laying out retired coaches, as the former Packer great does to Mike Ditka during a roast honoring Iron Mike. This after Ditka manages to topple over his own table getting up to go to the podium, so you can say he had it coming. You can also say Hornung should've kicked him while he was down. It's all in the spirit of the roast, y'know, some gentle ribbing, then some kicks to the ribs. Uh-oh, Ditka is laughing blood again.

The broadcast team of Itchy & Scratchy and POOCHIE Mike and Mike and Mike did a great job last night. Monday Night Football: come for the fantasy impact, but stay for the old man sweaty ball-hustling.  Thanks, ESPN!

(…and thanks to reader/Nobel Laureate Brammer for the screencap.  And for the cold sweat of 7 hours of nightmares.)

Update: Just saw that Deadspin had this on the live-blog last night. That little slut Brammer must get around.
