Obviously this royally sucks. I love this guy. He's 79 which makes me nervous, but he'll come out the other side of this.

I remember the one from 1988 which scared me as a kid. He along with Jordan, Payton and Tyson (pre-jail) were my heroes as a kid.

The dude had lived his life at full boar man. He has packed a bunch in since 1985.

He is Da Coch and he will make it thru with flying colors.

Best wishes to Da Coach. He'll beat the shit out of the reaper if it tries to come calling.

His agent released a statement that it was a minor heart attack, he had a pacemaker put in, and he expects to be home soon.

Iron Mike Ditka is unstoppable.

Hmm...
I'm not sure if I'm proud or disappointed that no one's posted the SNL sausage heartattack gif...

I've been debating if this was appropriate

He’s back home, so I think you’re safe there.

No problem with it. I think it is appropriate. Bears - Da Superfans - Ditka - Heart Attack. Kind of all goes together.

Would not be surprised if this is how Da Coach passes.

Vociferous meat eater, drinker, and smoker... yeah, I'd put money on stroke or heart attack.
