While Ditka still has that same ol\u2019 charm, his appearance in the video has left some fans shocked and saddened. Take a look:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I received the most important endorsement for me for Lake County Board.  Mike Ditka supports me.  Check out the video. Vote David Spada For Lake County Board 2nd District <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/QFXfmOlgsq\">pic.twitter.com\/QFXfmOlgsq<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 David Spada (@spadaonsports) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/spadaonsports\/status\/1530258572495540226?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 27, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>We all know that Father Time is undefeated and that Ditka, 82, has struggled with his health in recent years. He suffered a minor stroke ten years ago and then had a heart attack in 2018 while he was playing golf. So, all things considered, he\u2019s doing OK.<\/p>\n<p>However, I think the man who calls himself popegregory66 here speaks for all of us:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">No, we\u2019re wondering why no one is looking out for him. For God\u2019s sake someone could\u2019ve run a comb through his hair and helped him put on a new shirt. If I take my 91 yr old mother out in public looking like that, it\u2019s on me, not on her.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Giant Fan (@popegregory66) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/popegregory66\/status\/1530528507696017408?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 28, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>It does seem as though family members or caretakers could\u2019ve helped him look his best, and while his off-the-cuff interviews were once the stuff of legend, he probably could\u2019ve used some rehearsed lines and perhaps a couple of takes. \u201cIf you got nothin\u2019 better to do\u201d than vote is not a great selling point, even when delivered by Mike Ditka.<\/p>\n<p>To cleanse our palates of that video, let\u2019s look back at Ditka in his prime.
