CHICAGO (AP) Hall of Fame tight end and former Chicago Bears coach Mike Ditka is recovering from a mild heart attack.
Steve Mandell, Ditka's agent, tells ESPN that doctors inserted a pacemaker. He says Ditka "is doing much better," and the iconic coach "appreciates the outpouring of support and expects to be home soon."
The Bears wished Ditka "a speedy recovery" on Twitter.

Great guy. We had our 50th grammar school class reunion at his joint in Chicago. He was the same age/class and came by and schmoozed with us. Prince of a man. Get well soon coach and godspeed. Don’t make them like that anymore.

The 1985 Bears was the greatest team in NFL history. And I say that as a lifelong Packers fan.

Feel better coach! From an era when the NFL was still decent!

85 Bears had the greatest DEFENSE. Offense was just good enough.

What do you expect from Da Coach . . . the team is 8-3. Like he ever expected to see that again in his lifetime.

They had a great offensive line and the best running back of all time. The rest of their offense was good enough to win games.
The 1984 49ers may have been the best team of the 1980s. Dominant offensive team (and Jerry Rice hadn't even been drafted yet!) and a very underrated defense. I think they are still the only NFL team in history to send all four of their starting defensive backs to the Pro Bowl.

Ditka might well be more popular in Chicago than Michael Jordan. That is saying something.

The IL GOP should’ve gone all out to recruit him as the replacement Senate candidate against Zero in 2004. The jug-eared jackass would’ve been stopped dead in his tracks.

The GOP tried. Ditka considered running but declined. IMHO he knew that the Dems would attack him for real and imagined events in his or his loved ones background. Dems are evil bullies and will stop at nothing to ruin anyone that they consider a threat to their power.
