Chicago is remembering Mike Ditka, the iconic Bears coach and Hall of Fame player who died Friday. Ditka appeared on “Chicago Tonight” a few times over the years.
The Bears wore No. 89 stickers on the backs of their helmets Sunday. The Packers and Bears honored Ditka with a pregame moment of silence. Perhaps the most notable tributes to Ditka came in the stands rather than on the sidelines.
Mike Ditka, the former Chicago Bears coach who led the team to a Super Bowl win and became a Chicago legend in the process, has died. He was 86.
Joel Weisman and guests discuss the first day of school for CPS students and teachers, the enduring state budget stalemate and more on local business news, crime and sports.
