Mike Ditka is the latest person to be removed from Sunday Countdown The Big Lead is reporting. Were there other reasons why he was removed? One can speculate.
One of the best parts of NFL Sunday is Sunday Countdown. You get to yell at the TV, as if they can hear you, and chime in on the hosts’ picks. However, Mike Ditka’s random removal from the show is an odd one. He will be replaced by quarterback Matt Hasselbeck. Hasselbeck spent the last three seasons with the Colts and now, he is Ditka’s replacement.
Just to be clear-Ditka is not fired and will remain with the network. But, one can’t help but wonder if his recent comments about President Obama may have gotten him in hot water. It seems like ESPN was pulling damage control.
