Let me get this straight. I may have misheard. Ditka, not Halas, "will always rule Da Bears"? It is complex, LaM. It is the difference between a Major Deity and a lesser God set over us mortals. GSH is the creator, the founder of all things Blue and Orange and good. But Iron Mike is the personification of that creator on Earth. He is the one who gets it done, who can execute and implement. The father is on high, the son is right here among us. Think of Halas as Vishnu, and Ditka as his avatar Krishna. Or you might want to use a religious metaphor closer to home. Besides I grew up in Wisconsin, in the age of the one, great, true coach...The First, and the last of the gridiron. The Alpha and Omega of pigskin. Dare one say his name? (covering my eyes) No. it is not for the mere mortals to know....Say Paul Hornung...Say Jerry Kramer...Say...Ray Nitschke (and hit someone hard) say Fuzzy Thurston...Say...yes...BART STARR...but the Coach? He who must not be named in Vain? NO. So endeth the Word. Go in peace. E.
