Lot Description
Mike Ditka's Personally Owned Red Sports Coat Famously Worn on ESPN NFL Countdown
"CASH MONEY STRAIGHT HOMEY"
Mike Ditka sent the social media world in a frenzy on Jan. 16, 2016 when he wore this vibrant jacket, shirt and tie during his appearance on ESPN's NFL Countdown. With strong reactions to Ditka's fashion choice happening in real time, his colleagues Cris Carter, Tom Jackson and Keshawn Johnson played defense. Carter would ask Ditka: "Can you go buy another one if you need one?" To which, Ditka pulled a considerable bank roll out of his pocket. While this jacket does not come with Ditka's cold cash, it does include a prop that Ditka would use to tease friends.
