Ditka's son says cops targeted him because of his name
The former Bears coach's 49-year-old son was arrested for DUI, but Mike Ditka -- the "kid" -- insists that "I was not driving a car" and that “I was parked. The keys weren’t even in the ignition." He plans on pleading not guilty. (Chicago Tribune)
Another virtuous Hummer driver! Even if Mike Jr's account is true, that would be a DUI in my state; can't be in a car drunk even if it is parked. And I'm calling into question his consuming of a "couple of drinks" when you're popping a .189, that's pretty tanked.

He's mad that the cop didn't let him off because of his famous dad.

He's probably right. Minor celebrity gets busted and the prosecutor sees an opportunity to make a name for themselves. Like what's-her-name who prosecuted O.J.
Say what you will about O.J., when was the last time you heard Clark's name mentioned in general conversation?

Sterilization is necessary.
