25 years ago today Mike Ditka was an idiot.

This photo just gets more cringe worthy as time goes on. At the time it was like, wtf? lol. But now in the light of RWs mental health issues it’s just sad. Knowing what we know now, that look in his eyes looks dark and lost.

Ditka was a clown and a desperate PR stunt gone horribly wrong.

To me at the time it was worth it because we needed that shot in the arm with Ditka and Williams. It’s just sad neither worked out.

The real shot in the arm moment with a running back would come 7 years later when Reggie fell into the Saints lap at #2. I’ve never heard people more fired up than when that happened.

I was excited about it, but I was very young and really didn't pay attention to anyone drafted past the first round.

probably getting stoned on a Saturday morning and thinking I was smoking the best shite on the market when in fact, it was just a bunch Bay Hay (schwag).
