First and ten for Ditka?

Mike Ditka is considering running for the Senate, as noted by Dick. Guess Illinois wants to make California’s choice of Arnold look intelligent. Sports Illustrated recently did a photo spread of sports figures turned politicians. Of course, their website doesn’t turn it up, but from memory the two-page spread included Jack Kemp, Bill Bradley, Steve Largent, Tom Osborne, and a few others. I’m not a Chicagoan, but… Ditka? Once you’ve done hair ads aren’t you disqualified? Aren’t you supposed to do the erectile dysfunction ads after your time in public office? (cf. Bob Dole)
