Episode 73 — “DITKA: Da Coach, Da Legend”Da Bears. Da Coach. Da Legend.This week, the Armchair Allstars kick things off with a full-blown roast of Scoop, whose weekend went from bad to downright embarrassing. Not only did every one of his teams find a way to lose, but Scoop managed to completely implode in his country club championship, falling to an up-and-coming 14-year-old golfer. The kid has a bright future. Scoop might need a new hobby.The laughs give way to a heartfelt tribute as the crew remembers Mike Ditka, an all-time Armchair Allstars favorite and the legendary face of Chicago Bears football. From his fiery personality and unforgettable coaching career to the hilarious Saturday Night Live spoofs featuring Chris Farley, the guys celebrate everything that made “Da Coach” a larger-than-life sports icon.Then it's back to the absolute madness of college football! LSU falls to Kentucky in overtime, leaving Lane Kiffin's inaugural season in Baton Rouge teetering on the edge of disaster. Meanwhile, Ole Miss demolishes Vanderbilt, Texas takes a gut punch from Oklahoma in the Red River Rivalry, and the college football landscape continues to turn upside down. The Allstars recap the biggest games, debate the fallout, and look ahead to another loaded weekend on the gridiron.Over in the NFL, Reid's Tampa Bay Buccaneers finally get their first win, taking down the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday Night Football, while Stoner's Houston Texans break into the win column against the hapless Tennessee Titans. Is this the beginning of a turnaround, or just a temporary escape from misery?Of course, the guys wrap things up with the usual chaos: Pick 5, Stump the Stone, and CFP Eliminator, along with plenty of questionable takes and completely unnecessary banter.Scoop got humbled by a teenager. Lane Kiffin is feeling the heat. And the Allstars raise a glass to Da Coach.Good Sports. Better Conversation.Mike Ditka's passing on October 9, 2026, was confirmed by the Chicago Bears. chicagobears.comI can also turn this into a shorter, punchier Spotify or Apple Podcasts description, but this version is ready for your episode listing.And if you want to promote the Ditka tribute, your new Armchair Allstars Hall of Fame graphic would make a fitting episode announcement.
