Re: Ditka takes more digs at BB

Envy and resentment toward BB from other coaches has been building for years and is immense. Many probably feel that Marty is "the better man", "has done his time", had the "better team" and "deserved" to win, while BB has "already had his share", and thus cheered the Pats' collapse in Indy. The Mangini nonsense exploited by the NYmedia, created a new chink in BB's armor, and the divorce proceedings left him open to attack from those looking to cast him in an "immoral" light. For a no-nonsense, no frills coach as brilliant and talented as BB, it's not enough to win 3 Sbs... you have to win every year to fight off the jackals in the sport so eager to rip you apart.
