Da Coach Gives Da Shoutout

Mike Ditka Doesn't Miss A Beat!

By Lance Allan

If you didn't witness a great random TV moment on Wednesday at 6:25pm, here it is. 

First, I was sad to hear the news that our 6pm producer Lacey Krans McCraney was leaving a few weeks ago.  She's from Illinois, so we always had good natured rips about the Bears, Cubs and Illinois. 

Well, about that same time...I lined up a satellite interview with Mike Ditka.  Yes, that Iron Mike...one of the biggest icons in Illinois sports history.

The interview could only last 5 minutes, tops.  So 4 minutes and 15 seconds in...totally unprompted...I ask Iron Mike the question.

"So, our 6pm producer Lacey, it's her last day.  And since she's a diehard Bears, Cubs and Illinois fan...Mike, do you have any words of guidance for her?"

I can't do the response justice.  Iron Mike, you are one in a million.  Click on the video link for a good laugh!
