So with the Tigers just starting Spring Training, the Lions still more than two months away from the NFL Draft, the Pistons on All-Star break and the Red Wings on Olympic break we give you Mike Ditka bitching about Matthew Stafford’s backwards hat.
Have at it Free Press:
“I think he can make all the throws,” Ditka, an ESPN analyst, told the Free Press. “He’s a smart kid. I wish he’d put the baseball cap on frontwards instead of backwards all the time.”
“If you’re the leader of the football team, I think you’ve got to stand up and be that leader, assume that role. A lot of it is what you do on the field, certainly. But I think a little of it has to do with appearance, too,” Stafford told the Free Press. “You know, respect the game respect your team. That’s all.
“I’m not knocking him. I’m just saying that’s the first thing I would tell him if I inherited him. When you’re going to go do an interview, put it on like it’s supposed to be on, not backwards, sidewards, whatever way they put them on anymore.”
I wonder if Ditka and Phil Simms get together to go slack shopping and yell at kids for venturing onto their respective lawns?
