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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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
@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!!!
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...
I've already watched it. I get it. Not everyone liked everyone. My idea was about my experience and what was asked of me. It has nothing to do with that organizations.
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
... So what? Butterball would never have won a SB without Ditka. I mean Butterball was so unbelievable dumb that he thought he can win 0-0 games. Thanks God the 85 Bears had a relative healthy McMahon, directing the NFCs 2nd best offense. Besides that, Ditka was fun, a players coach. And he picked the team. He had a great impact on the winning Bears.
I would be nice if the present day bears could wear the jersey's of the 85 team (with the names) as a dedication to them, and especially Walter Payton. Imagine Peppers in Dent's uniform, Cutler in McMahon's, Briggs in Marshall's. I think that would be really cool.
If he's drunk, he holds his liquor very well.
Agreed!!....sure wish i could lol
He's actually nicer when he is drunk
I remember seeing this live, and I video taped it. I lost the tape and thought I'd never see it again. Thanks
Morris was awesome, and that interview was as Chicago as Italian Beef.
This number of views should increase exponentially VERY soon.
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.
Great coach! He provided a fine classic interview. So what if he had a few drinks.
Ditka may be drunk, but he answered the questions well.
What a name. Cap Boso.
I died laughing at that part
Cap Boso... Tecmo Bowl memories.
I remember him lol
"We're the Bears. Period."
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!!
“It’s crazy, I don’t understand it all” 🤣
"What a name, Cap Bozo" LMFAO!
He was a good TE actually.
Boso.
Classic Ditka!!! Great Clip!!!
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.
My fav is when they’re looong at replays and he just says shit that doesn’t even relate to the play. 🤣🤣🤣
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.

McMichael kinda reminded you of that fun drunk relative that comes to visit. Bless that dear guy right now.
This is from the strike shortened season of 1987.....Walter Payton's last.
Ditka isn't drunk. He maybe had a 12 pack buzz which is like a Beer and a half buzz for a normal person
Sounds like Ditka had a few before the show.
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 ...
I remember watching this ....l watched Bears Extra every Sunday from 1st show to last.
You could feel this good if you took a shot every time Ditka said John
“John”
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.
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
this was Nov 1, 1987
I remember watchin it live.
Ditka 2
Heart attacks- 0
Still a better love story than twilight.
Darius Maximus that's not a hard challenge
Ditka is drunk! lol
And his hair... haha
Grabowski, Da Coach, Sausage, Meat, Beer and of Course, Scotch...Da Bearssss
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
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!
This is the time where Ditka was doing spots for Dewar's Scotch....sounds like he had a full bottle handy.
Ditka's eyes are close together (...just like a bear)
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.
Outstanding!
Da Coach!! Love ❤️ u Ditka!
So what he drank a few cold ones ?
We still love you Coach
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
By the way, Jen...Tim Weigel was class personified. Chicago sports misses him, and always will.
Those were the days.
Thank You. I could not go through life without knowing that.
I love this!!!👍
That's Johnny Morris, Himself a former Bear's player.
Ditka’s Bears teammate in the 60’s
What a come back to win by a point
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
+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.
Love that clean astroturf
Holy shit Ditka was sloppy drunk in this video lol
Payton's last season.
Johnny Morris was a great running back.
“Ahh, we’ll figure it out next week...”
Now these losers sleep in their office. Damn I miss Mike on the sidelines
Sounds pleasantly out of it on painkillers, or something.
1987
Ditka is a god
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.
guy on the right scratches his balls at 0:39
Ditka is lit!!!
all hail ditka!
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
Please get this right. He wasn't drunk, he was shrooming balls.
what were those weird moves? he was stoned !
This must be from the '87 season, which saw them play AFC West opponents.
this was in October or November 1987
AHAHAHAHAHA!!! 9:07 looks like he was gonna swing on him! wooooo!
Back when Chicago was relevant team in the NFC
@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!!!
Ron Morris with the orange wr gloves!!!!
At least he's not a sloppy or angry drunk. Still sounds intelligent talking about football. Different times...😎🏈
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?"

The mid 80s Bears were winners because of Ditka ?
Or in spite of ??
What year is this?
I remember thinking it at the time.
Tomczack would have been an all pro QB if Ditka took this approach all the time. Probably won another Superbowl, too.
He’s drunk after todays game too I bet.
like the man said, "it's 'Boss-O', not Bozo" ---ROFL
Ditka slurrying his words??_
What's the Big Deal ? I've seen people more Buzzed in church after drinking communion wine. Again I ask what's the Big deal ?
BOZO THE CLOWN LIVES!
I've already watched it. I get it.
Not everyone liked everyone.
My idea was about my experience and what was asked of me.
It has nothing to do with that organizations.
NFL SUPER FANS bear fans needed
I’m an expert at getting snookered and I’m not convinced Ditka was snookered during this interview.
In chicago we dont get snookered we get drunk. Mike was drunk
Cement head.
Did he drive home or back to bar ?
Ofc he did, those were the greaties :-)
@mannster23 Thats Johnny Morris - an ex-Bear...
I'm sorry to see you got this close and couldn't handle it: not Mike's fault tho.
Is this 1986?
I think Jennifer is the daughter of Tim Weigel.
Tim was a great TV sports reporter in Chicago who passed away too young from a brain tumor.
Daniel Drumm RIP
She is
Ditla shouls have said 'We have aot of bosos on our team'
you're welcome
Ditka pentajo es muy borracho!!!
Looks like a 1984 interview as Todd Bell and Harris were on the Team.Both sat out the 1985 superbowl team.
No. This is 1987. Bears didn't play Kansas City in 85. Bell and Harris were back on the team in 86 and 87.
It was 1987 since Johnny Morris references the team returning from the strike around 4:25 or so.
ditka!
Beers players go to notre dame or the big 10
I am no expert, but I didn't think he was drunk. He stayed on topic and answered all of the questions.
So !
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
Had McMahon stayed healthy, Willie Gault would have been a Hall of Famer.
No
Lol, what a rube. Never would have won a superbowl without Buddy Ryan.
... So what? Butterball would never have won a SB without Ditka. I mean Butterball was so unbelievable dumb that he thought he can win 0-0 games. Thanks God the 85 Bears had a relative healthy McMahon, directing the NFCs 2nd best offense.
Besides that, Ditka was fun, a players coach. And he picked the team. He had a great impact on the winning Bears.
I would be nice if the present day bears could wear the jersey's of the 85 team (with the names) as a dedication to them, and especially Walter Payton. Imagine Peppers in Dent's uniform, Cutler in McMahon's, Briggs in Marshall's. I think that would be really cool.
@4:08 wtf is he saying
@mrfunnyman99 read the title
