When playing in Green Bay Ditka, Max McGee and others used to go to the Owl Tavern in Neenah Menasha and play cards when the game was over. Owner had a lot of stories about the guys from both teams drinking together.
Thanks for the post. Ditka's a nice guy, if he's drunk guy here. If you or anyone has a tape of Steve McMichael when he was drunk, on Channel 5? Those times are great. He was a fun drunk. He would have Mark Giengreco & Ron Masters (SP? Of last names?) laughing. Ron had to look down and laugh since he was a top anchor. McMichael kinda reminded you of that fun drunk relative that comes to visit. Bless that dear guy right now.
There was another interview back then with Johnny Morris where Ditka was really slurring his words and giggling. When I saw the title for this one i thought it was it.
There was an even better one when Ditika was giving interview in underwear... Those time were just awesome. Impossible in the pc world of today... Hail Da Berars 85 forever.
Johnny Morris we miss him sooo much cbs 2 chicago back in the day I remember when i was an intern their I am now a reporter at cbs , WBBM - TV will never be what it used to be ...
McMahon to Gault, McMahon to Gault, McMahon to Gault!!! Loved those days! Ditka said Jim will call some plays and he will call some plays, please, ditka calls a play and if it's wrong McMahon will change it lmao!
Haha! Just read a comment where the person said the NFL and the Bears organization should of fined him for what we all saw here. That's a typical response from some kid born either at the very end of the 20th century or near the the first few years of the 21st! Hey kids! The decision makers of today remember life before rampant cable subscriptions and the Internet! I know, crazy and old but back then we read box scores in the newspaper (know what those are?) and tried to sneak into the library each lunch period because the tv in my high school had ESPN. Point is, the NFL and probably the Bears org. didn't give a shit! Whatever PR and advertising Ditka did was good for the league. Back then was FAR FAR from today's plugged in league! For me it's 50/50. I miss old school tear the QB in half times! But that being said, I enjoy watching faster stronger players from today. That along with the old fellows medical issues, (not just physically but mentally) it's a good thing it eviolv
Fine him for what? (BTW i'm not arguing with you) It wasn't like he whipped out his dick being a sloppy drunk. He was hammered and did an interview and was fine. I hate how Goodell/NFL fines people without any context. Like that player in Dallas basically got released because the police mistook his identity, he basically lost millions cuz the police fucked up. I do hate how its illegal to hit the QB hard. I remember Greg Lloyd sandblasting Drew Bledsoe centuries ago, thinking that would be a penalty now, no matter how clean.
Music at the end was from "Ferris Buehlers Day Off" coincenentally. Look at how big Ditka is compared to the announcer. His hands are like twice the size of the host's, to be a pro football player one has to be a physical freak even when Ditka played way back.
They were teammates in early 1960s. There was highlight seen for a long time on a game in 1964 at Kezar where Morris catches long pass down right sideline but ends up on his back with the ball on his lap. Nobody touches Morris, he gets up and scores and Ditka helped block a defender totally out of the play.
Parcells, Gibbs and Walsh were just too clever for ol’ Iron Mike most of the time. But seriously those 4 NFC teams (Giants, Bears, Redskins, 49ers) dominated the 80s
couldnt have been that drunk. He never babbled,or got confused and remembered every single play from the game. Smarter drunk then most people are sober and I am a Packers fan but Ditka was the man back in the day.
@market42fan Thanks for the correction. Like the idiot that I can be, when i really try, i did the research AFTER i posted that. Again, thanks for correcting me. At any rate, GO BEARS!!!
All the great names from Tecmo Bowl: Jim McMahon Willie Gault Cap Boso Dennis Gentry Todd Bell Dan Hampton When did the Bears have an Astro turf field?
VanillaLimeCoke They had Astroturf at Soldier Field from 1971 to the end of the 1987 season. The last game the Bears played on Astroturf was in January of 1988. A divisional playoff game against the Redskins. It was also Walter Payton's last game ever. The Bears lost 21-17.
Ya know, sometimes when you see the titles to videos on youtube it doesn't quite match up to what you see when you watch the clip. people claim clips to be "the greatest ever" and it isn't. they tag it as "unbelievable" "rare" or hilarious" and it almost always disapoints. so when I read "ditka drunk on channel 2" I thought "come on, really drunk?" Well, this clip lived up to the hype..he is plastered and it is almost awkwardly uncomfortable listening to poor johnny morris pull him thru this...
C'mon guys don't drink in Chicago when they are sleeping......You guys should be ashamed of yourselves for inferning that a bear like this would ever have a few before going on TV.....there's only a bar on evry corner growing up in chicago in the 60's-70's.....DA BARES! Burp.....scuse me
If he's drunk, he holds his liquor very well.
Agreed!!....sure wish i could lol
Dude's human. I love it. My best friend of my whole life had that SAME blank and far off stare when he was hammered. RIP Tom.
He's actually nicer when he is drunk
I remember these Sunday nights with Johnny Morris in the old days. Good stuff!! Da Coach!!
Back when football was a real man's game!
Great coach! He provided a fine classic interview. So what if he had a few drinks.
Totally honest and open Ditka here. He didn’t care if he was or wasn’t sober. Nothing would stop him from doing this post-game recap.
It doesn't matter, John…it's when you least EXPECT it! 😂
Morris was awesome, and that interview was as Chicago as Italian Beef.
This number of views should increase exponentially VERY soon.
I remember seeing this live, and I video taped it. I lost the tape and thought I'd never see it again. Thanks
Ditka's eyes are close together (...just like a bear)
Ditka may be drunk, but he answered the questions well.
This is a wonderful look back at Bears history. Thank you very much for posting this.
What a name. Cap Boso.
I died laughing at that part
Cap Boso... Tecmo Bowl memories.
I remember him lol
“It’s crazy, I don’t understand it all” 🤣
When playing in Green Bay Ditka, Max McGee and others used to go to the Owl Tavern in Neenah Menasha and play cards when the game was over. Owner had a lot of stories about the guys from both teams drinking together.
indiandaeng the good old days. I miss football from my childhood.
Now these tools are taking a KNEE.
PLAY THE GAME!!
Classic Ditka!!! Great Clip!!!
Thanks for the post. Ditka's a nice guy, if he's drunk guy here. If you or anyone has a tape of Steve McMichael when he was drunk, on Channel 5? Those times are great. He was a fun drunk.

"We're the Bears. Period."
"What a name, Cap Bozo" LMFAO!
He was a good TE actually.
Boso.
That was classic & Ditka’s low tone demeanor was hilarious
There was another interview back then with Johnny Morris where Ditka was really slurring his words and giggling. When I saw the title for this one i thought it was it.
There was an even better one when Ditika was giving interview in underwear... Those time were just awesome. Impossible in the pc world of today... Hail Da Berars 85 forever.
I remember watchin it live.
My fav is when they’re looong at replays and he just says shit that doesn’t even relate to the play. 🤣🤣🤣
Johnny Morris we miss him sooo much cbs 2 chicago back in the day I remember when i was an intern their I am now a reporter at cbs , WBBM - TV will never be what it used to be ...
A monster come back at soldier field and a drunk coach that's Chicago baby that's what we need again
I remember watching this ....l watched Bears Extra every Sunday from 1st show to last.
A drunk Mike Ditka fallen over in an alley could beat Coach Nagy led team by 60 points
LOL. And its so true.
A Drunk Ditka would wipe the floor with Matt Eberflus Matt Nagy & Neil Armstrong
And yet Nagy going to his second straight Super Bowl. 3 well called playoff games. Could the issue have been our bust QB that we are. trading.
@@raybergman9406Nagy does not call the plays lol
This is from the strike shortened season of 1987.....Walter Payton's last.
I loved the man....he was tough but funny as well. It would be cool to see him as Da Coach again!
Salute to Mike Ditka. I would say more super tipsy as opposed to drunk but awesome either way
when i drunk...i dont speak this well...he has a slight slur....thats it
He's just not as quick on the draw with the responses. Sober Ditka wouldn't even hesitate to answer
@@TheTamtam76 if he was a shade darker it would have been a big problem
Outstanding!
this was Nov 1, 1987
Sounds like Ditka had a few before the show.
Still a better love story than twilight.
Darius Maximus that's not a hard challenge
Da coach the best ever in bears history.
McMahon to Gault, McMahon to Gault, McMahon to Gault!!! Loved those days! Ditka said Jim will call some plays and he will call some plays, please, ditka calls a play and if it's wrong McMahon will change it lmao!
Great interview. A 1 on 1 interview the same day after the game!! Unheard of today. Mike was drunk as hell. LOL
This should still be done like this today
Ditka is lit up like an Xmas tree. He probably would've given less honest answers if he were sober.
Statutory Grape no he’d give them the same. That’s just Ditka
Grabowski, Da Coach, Sausage, Meat, Beer and of Course, Scotch...Da Bearssss
ahhh the good old days
Ditka 2
Heart attacks- 0
We still love you Coach
Those were the days.
Ditka isn't drunk. He maybe had a 12 pack buzz which is like a Beer and a half buzz for a normal person
You could feel this good if you took a shot every time Ditka said John
“John”
Da Coach!! Love ❤️ u Ditka!
Ditka is drunk! lol
And his hair... haha
This is the time where Ditka was doing spots for Dewar's Scotch....sounds like he had a full bottle handy.
Thank You. I could not go through life without knowing that.
Haha! Just read a comment where the person said the NFL and the Bears organization should of fined him for what we all saw here.

+Bryan Green they don't make em like Ditka anymore
Fine him for what? (BTW i'm not arguing with you) It wasn't like he whipped out his dick being a sloppy drunk. He was hammered and did an interview and was fine. I hate how Goodell/NFL fines people without any context.
Like that player in Dallas basically got released because the police mistook his identity, he basically lost millions cuz the police fucked up.
I do hate how its illegal to hit the QB hard. I remember Greg Lloyd sandblasting Drew Bledsoe centuries ago, thinking that would be a penalty now, no matter how clean.
He was my fave Bears coach, they shouldn't had fired him!
A tip : you can watch series on flixzone. Me and my gf have been using it for watching loads of movies these days.
@Mark Maverick Definitely, I've been watching on flixzone for since november myself :D
I love this!!!👍

He really felt like he could walk on water.
What a come back to win by a point
By the way, Jen...Tim Weigel was class personified. Chicago sports misses him, and always will.
im not as think as you drunk i am....ossifer.
Dat centure division is da tuffest!
Funny how a lot of people who are hot-heads sober are chill when drunk, while people who are docile when sober turn into raging assholes after a few.
Love that clean astroturf
You could get away with that back in the day. He sure sounded toasted. He kept his cool, however, and didn't get belligerent as some would.
So what he drank a few cold ones ?
Bears played with passion and determination in the 80s and 90s now they suck..
That's Johnny Morris, Himself a former Bear's player.
Ditka’s Bears teammate in the 60’s
Ditka is lit!!!
all hail ditka!
it doesnt matter john, when you lease espect it, you do your job
They were teammates in early 1960s. There was highlight seen for a long time on a game in 1964 at Kezar where Morris catches long pass down right sideline but ends up on his back with the ball on his lap. Nobody touches Morris, he gets up and scores and Ditka helped block a defender totally out of the play.
Johnny Morris was a great running back.
Payton's last season.
Holy shit Ditka was sloppy drunk in this video lol
I think he was on some like muscle relaxers and a couple shots
Sounds pleasantly out of it on painkillers, or something.
“Ahh, we’ll figure it out next week...”
Now these losers sleep in their office. Damn I miss Mike on the sidelines
Coach Ditker loved his Dewar's Scotch....don't know if he still does.
1987
Parcells, Gibbs and Walsh were just too clever for ol’ Iron Mike most of the time.
But seriously those 4 NFC teams (Giants, Bears, Redskins, 49ers) dominated the 80s
Ditka is a god
Ron Morris with the orange wr gloves!!!!
guy on the right scratches his balls at 0:39
couldnt have been that drunk. He never babbled,or got confused and remembered every single play from the game. Smarter drunk then most people are sober and I am a Packers fan but Ditka was the man back in the day.
The mid 80s Bears were winners because of Ditka ?
Or in spite of ??
1:38 - 9:47 - Cap Boso sighting. He was unstoppable on Tecmo Bowl. I didn't know he was a real person. I thought he was just a digital creation.
what were those weird moves? he was stoned !
Do you think the Packers are gonna come up with any dirty tactics? I really don't care what they do,we're gonna play good football 🤣
@market42fan
Thanks for the correction. Like the idiot that I can be, when i really try, i did the research AFTER i posted that. Again, thanks for correcting me. At any rate, GO BEARS!!!
This must be from the '87 season, which saw them play AFC West opponents.
this was in October or November 1987
All the great names from Tecmo Bowl:
Jim McMahon
Willie Gault
Cap Boso
Dennis Gentry
Todd Bell
Dan Hampton

I don't know. I don't know and I don't care. Great answer.
Back when Chicago was relevant team in the NFC
AHAHAHAHAHA!!! 9:07 looks like he was gonna swing on him! wooooo!
Please get this right. He wasn't drunk, he was shrooming balls.
like the man said, "it's 'Boss-O', not Bozo" ---ROFL
At least he's not a sloppy or angry drunk. Still sounds intelligent talking about football. Different times...😎🏈
Yes. He was obviously drunk! Good for him, big deal. Its waaaay post game soooo what!!!!
I remember thinking it at the time.
Great honesty in this interview because of the booze. He didn't know what the hell was going on or what he was doing, players won in spite of him.
Tomczack would have been an all pro QB if Ditka took this approach all the time. Probably won another Superbowl, too.
