MUSTACHE OF THE DAY: DITKA
We can’t believe he’s never been the honoree. All others, 14; Ditka-stache, 452.

Happy Mustache Wednesday, motherfuckers!
Bill Swerski: Now, gentlemen, let me ask you this: What if Da Bears were all 14 inches tall, you know, about so high? Now, what’s your score of today’s game?
Carl Wollarski: Against Da Giants?
Bill Swerski: Yes, give ‘em a handicap.
Carl Wollarski: Bears 18, Giants 10. And that would finally be a good game.
Pat Arnold: Yeah, it would be a good game. Mini Bears 24, Giants 14.
Todd O’Conner: What about Ditka? Would he be mini, too?
Bill Swerski: No, he would be full-grown.
Todd O’Conner: Oh, then, uh.. Mini Bears 31, Giants 7.
Carl Wollarski: Oh, hold on. Then I change mine, too. I thought it was Mini Ditka.

thanks for bringing the visual of Chris Farley back into my head… one of the funniest skits Saturday night live ever did… and is still doing I think
I hope when I have my heart attack while eating brats and drinking beer I can just pound my chest and get things moving again. I have given up the idea of dying while getting laid but the idea of seeing the light while arguing about football and enjoying greasy food is certainly a probability

Hey now… don’t raise up Ditka’s stache at the expense of Magnum. I think that would be a good game.

Crabapple Buck says:
One of the greatest compliments that Ditka gets is that people still use the ‘85 Bears as the gold standard of teams. Sorta like my uncle who used to say, “She’s no Marilyn Monroe”, when comparing women.

By the way Orson, you simply must get the advertising under control. The Gay Bear Dating banner directly underneath Naked Guy may be the last straw. People often walk into my office unannounced, and this shit just won’t do.

The Super Fans skit where he coughs up an entire steak was an absolute classic. SNL used to be so good.

SNL is so gay. They have one of the videos on their website, but then you click it and its not available. FU SNL.

Northern Illinios player #81 (Nathan Palmer) needs to have his “Black Race Card” revoked after piss-poor display….that was absolutely the worse “rap” I’ve ever heard in my entire life.

Speaking of people who’ve never been honored, and maybe I just missed it, but why not Lou-Grizz, as he inevitably would have become known had he lived to the early ’00s?

Bill Swerski: OK, gentlemen, another scenario. ‘Nother scenario. The Bears, they don’t make it, their plane is delayed, and the only one who shows up is Ditka. Ditka versus the Giants. OK, score gentlemen.
Pat Arnold: All right, after the heart attack… I gotta say Ditka 17, Giants 14. He just barely gets by.
Bill: All right, that sounds exciting. Perhaps, you know, a late Ditka field goal.

I don’t know… I mean, naked guy is universally disturbing and everything, but the shock value is undeniably funny. Either that I am suffering PTSD from his violent, repeated eye rape.

WTF Northern Illinois…
first, it’s ALWAYS foggy as fuck there….
…then you set off 15 minutes of fireworks which unleash just enough smoke across the field so that it looks like I’m trying to watch this game thru a glass of skim milk.
You team sucks, I guess your just trying to hide that fact from the rest of the country.
CHIPP E WAS!!
….and thank God the Chips are gonna kick Nad State’s ass next week to end all this MAC / BCS talk…

On a completely non-mustache-related note: anyone else watching Central Michigan-Northern Illinois? It’s so foggy that from the overhead camera angle you can barely see the lines on the field or the NIU players.

My Ditka Halloween costume would have been a little more kickass with a real ’stache. Instead, I was Dick Jauron stuck in the ’80s.

If only Ditka would have run for senator of Illinois against some affirmative action poster boy with a funny name….

Papa Lou BSU says:
The scary thing is that photo was taken in 1985, and yet, there’s been hundreds of fans wearing that same sweater to Bears games every Sunday since… I have an uncle who still rocks it at family gatherings from time to time. (And both my brother and I each had one when we were in junior high… all males under the age of 50 living in the greater Chicagoland area were issued that sweater — or a cheap knockoff thereof — by spring of 1986…)
And Miss Horn Dawg, Ditka was no fool. He knew he would have lost that Senate race to Obama by 15 points, and he also knew that Chicago votes nearly 80 percent Democratic without fail. With three restaurants bearing his name here, he rightfully didn’t want three-quarters of the city pissed off at his politics. Bad for business.
Say what you will about Da Coach, but the guy ain’t stupid… unlike your “affirmative action poster boy” comment.
