ANYTHING BUT SWEETNESS
Da' Coach, Mike Ditka says he'd spit on Jeff Pearlman, author of "Sweetness: the enigmatic life of Walter Payton", for demystifying possibly the greatest all around football player ever.
That kind of talk is, sadly, not unexpected from a crude, crass sports celebrity who has made millions from his skill as a player, coach and entertaining pitch man for numerous products. Instead of congering up an unpleasant word picture involving violent use of his bodily fluids, Ditka should focus on correcting his family history of DUI's, including his own. Ditka won't have to worry about a posthumous tell all biography fleshing out the all too human details of his life. It's right there on the front page during his work-in-progress.
