Da Coach showed his passion. He had his usual flair. It was something right out of a 1985 locker room speech to the Chicago Bears.
"Don't talk about what you're going to do," Mike Ditka told the crowd at a Pennsylvania rally Friday. "Prove you can do something."
As Ditka stood on stage with presidential candidate John McCain and his running mate, Sarah Palin, he looked almost Presidential himself...or at least Senatorial. If you don't believe us, watch the speech yourself.
You may not remember, but Illinois and national Republican leaders asked Ditka to run for the United States Senate back in 2004 against a political up-and-comer: Barack Obama.
