Mike Ditka B*tches Out Merril Hoge

I hope someone posts a video of it soon. I've never seen Ditka blow up like this on Countdown. It was kind of hilarious.

Anyway, they went through about 3 or 4 different segments on The Golden Calf of Bristol and they sent the discussion over to a desk with Suzy Kolber, Parcells, and Hoge.

Parcells says The Golden Calf of Bristol is becoming the guy and even compared facing him to when he faced guys like "Joe Montana, Steve Young, and Randall Cunningham."

So, they then kick it to Hoge to troll the sh*t out of the segment and he goes onto talk about how basically The Golden Calf of Bristol has nothing to do with their win streak and the difference has been their OL. He says their OL has been the best in football throughout the win streak and The Golden Calf of Bristol couldn't and wouldn't be doing any of the things he's doing if it wasn't for this all-universe OL.

Hoge talks about how it doesn't matter who is running the ball, the OL is that awesome and the reason they're able to do what they do (WOW! What an observation! All of that just to slight The Golden Calf of Bristol).

Ditka interjects and tells Hoge last time he checked the OL is supposed to block for their QB and runners. The team isn't called the "The Golden Calf of Bristol Broncos" they're the Denver Broncos, and again, the last time he checked it's a team sport. Ditka was turning red and was yelling at Hoge.

The rest of the boys seemed uncomfortable for a minute as this exchange was going on. On Ditka's side, you could hear Key and CC actually snickering and laughing as Ditka was taking breaths between ripping Hoge a new asshole. Ditka seemed to be pissed at Hoge going out of his way to slight The Golden Calf of Bristol when in fact, the team was playing better, and they've started playing better with The Golden Calf of Bristol.

When the camera cut back to Hoge, Parcells was sitting there like he didn't want any part of it. Hoge tried to retort back with something asking Ditka why he was mad. Ditka replied he was just telling him how it was and that he broke it down like that to make sense of what Hoge just said (basically calling him an idiot).

Ditka ends the segment by taking a drink from his glass of water on camera and then saying "if you ever listened you might learn something. Stop talking, you might be able to hear..."

It was awesome.

It just doesn't make any sense that Hoge is still slighting The Golden Calf of Bristol, and it just seems personal. I'm pulling for The Golden Calf of Bristol and have always believed he was a quality NFL QB... Even aside from that, this exchange was extremely enjoyable from the anti-Hoge perspective, especially considering his hatred for Cam to start the year.

tl;dr

(I admit if the video pops up, it is much more interesting than my wall-o-text recap)

I read it. Sounds classic, I love Ditka (even when he coached NO for fuging over the franchise for Ricky Williams :) ). Can't wait for the youtube (doubt the NFL will post it if it's as epic as you say).
