Mike Ditka's time on ESPN's flagship NFL program appears to be over. The Big Lead is reporting the Hall of Fame tight end and Super Bowl-winning coach has been removed from the cast of "Sunday NFL Countdown" and will be replaced by free-agent quarterback Matt Hasselbeck.

Didn't he blast Obama recently?
Someone joked that he'd be gone and I was like nah.... Sure enough.

Probably didn't like that he kept laying down rank farts on set.
On a serious note, Hasselback is a great choice. Dude has been around football for a long time and should be able to talk about history and the current state of the sport with a lot of experience.

I guess they didn't want to pay top dollar for faring and sleeping on set

He's been doing that for years. The fact that all he brings now is untimely farts was a bigger problem.

Is Hasselbeck's brother still on ESPN?

Odds are nearly 100% that he was let go purely b/c Hasselbeck will be on a cheaper contract.
ESPN is still in major cost cutting mode.

Then bam, he's fired 2 days after those comments.

ditka was just a famous name that didn't bring much besides cliches to the table as an analyst
Matt passing up his brother already on the ESPN pecking order though

And that he couldn't even speak clearly or get out complete words/sentences.

In my eyes, the older I got and the more I heard Ditka talk the less respect I had for him as a coach. I now believe the 86 Bears was all Buddy Ryan.

He was atrocious anyway. Hasselbeck will be solid.
