Saints coach Ditka tells Chicago to forget past
NEW ORLEANS — Mike Ditka , the coach most strongly identified with the Bears in modern times, has a message for the Windy City: Get over it.
The Associated Press
"It's kind of silly, isn't it," Ditka said of the
He has.
furor about his return with the Saints to face his old team. "What happened 15 years ago should have no bearing on what's going on now. It doesn't really. You can't take the past away from you, but you can't live in the past. I don't do that. It's just a football game."
Much of the legend that surrounds Ditka was forged in Chicago, where he was a player for six years and a coach for 11. He's second only to team
founder George Halas in tenure and victories. During his coaching stint, the Bears won the NFC Central six times and the Super Bowl once.
Ditka: Will return to Chicago with his new team.
Memories of not only the victories, but the
image of Ditka stalking the sidelines, screaming at players, coaches and officials, remain strong. It was the basis of the "Saturday Night Live" skit in which a group of blue-collar guys praised "Da Bears" and "Da Coach."
"I have a lot of great memories from Chicago and still have a lot of friends there," Ditkra said. "It will always be a special place for me. But you can't live in the past. I don't. This is my home now, the faints are my team. I love this place and this team. They only way they'll get me out of here is to force me to leave."
Compared to the Chicago years, Dikta's reign, in New Orleans has been unexceptional. He's made more headlines off the field than on — criticizing the city early on, quitting — then retracting it — during his first year, donning a dreadlock wig after drafting Ricky Williams.
But now that he has the running back he wanted and has settled in (he's opening a New Orleans restaurant called "Ditka's" this fall), Ditka said the 6-10 records of his first two years and the Saints' status of being the only NFL team never to win a playoff game are finished.
"This is a good place, the people work hard, they're good people and they've been more than good to me," he said. "Now I want to be the one to bring them a Super Bowl. I can do it with this organization."
Underwood's mom blames cult for son's recent behavior
The Associated Press
LANSING, Mich.—Dimitrius Underwood was adjusting to life as an NFL player and was in good spirits when the Miami Dolphins saw him before the weekend. Emergency personnel who saw him a night later were so concerned by his appearance that they called police.
"He appeared somewhat confused," said Lt. Ray Hall, spokesman for the Lansing Police Department. "He did appear to be talking to himself."
A day later, on Sunday, he was found on a city street bleeding from his neck with a life-threatening knife wound that police determined was self-inflicted.
Between Saturday and Sunday, Underwood was arrested for failure to make child support payments and had refused to leave jail immediately after bail was posted, choosing instead to talk to another prisoner.
The series of events has those closest to the former Michigan State defensive end worried, with his mother fearful that he may be under the influence of a "cult that's posing as a church."
Underwood's mother, Eileen Underwood, told *The Miami Herald* that she wanted to speak out against a church Underwood began attending while at
Michigan State. She did not identify the church but said she might take action against it.
"There are controlling spirits in there," Underwood, an ordained minister, told the newspaper in Tuesday's editions. "I visited one time, and the pastor was talking about if a young man and woman in the church are dating and then they break up, he won't let them date anyone else for six months.
"That's not in the Bible," she said. "I know the Bible. That's just someone trying to control people. It's a den of witches sitting up in there."
Underwood had been attending Immanuel's Temple Community Church for about a year, the Lansing State Journal reported.
The Rev. Phillip Owens, the church's pastor, walked away from an Associated Press reporter without comment at the church's office in a downtown Lansing office building Tuesday.
Meanwhile, Underwood was still listed in fair condition yesterday at Sparrow Hospital after surgery Sunday. He was able to talk and get out of bed Tuesday, a hospital spokeswoman said.
Underwood first drew national attention after being picked by Minnesota in the first round and then leaving the Vikings in August without explanation a day after signing a five-year, $3.3 million
Sanders hopes Cowboys dance past Cardinals
The Associated Press
Deion Sanders will being doing it all again starting Sunday when Dallas plays Arizona.
IRVING, Texas — He makes quarterbacks ignore half of the field, forces punts to think twice about giving him something to return and leads the postgame prayer.
Sanders hopes Cardinals quarterback Jake Plummer is willing to find out the hard way.
But it remains to be seen whether Sanders can be at his AI-Pro best five months after toe surgery and nine months since his last meaningful game.
Sanders sprained his left big toe early in a Nov. 15 game in Arizona. He missed five games, then returned for a Jan. 2 playoff game also against the Cardinals.
"I'm laying before the Lord saying, 'Lord, please let Jake throw this ball to me,' because I've got a new holy ghost dance I'm going to give you guys out there on that field.'" Sanders said.
Sanders played in the Pro Bowl, then hoped the pain would go in the off season. It didn't, so he underwent surgery in April. He began practicing earlier this month and finally feels ready to go.
Sanders loves to entertain, whether it's taunting opponents by holding out the ball, high-stepping down the sidelines or doing one of his victory dances.
As much as Sanders' antics annoy opponents, his ability can hurt even more.
He had five interceptions last year, his most in four years. That's even more impressive considering he only played nine full games, and teams usually tried to avoid throwing to his side.
"Do you think they just woke up in the morning and said, 'Well, we ain't going to throw at Deion?' No, no. It got that way for a reason." he said.
Sanders also led the NFL last season with an average of 15.6 yards per punt return. Sanders took six kicks at least 30 yards, reaching the end zone twice.
"Even if I'm not tested on defense, they have to punt," Sanders said.
Safety George Teague said he expected teams to make Sanders prove he's 100 percent healthy.
"Everybody is going to want to know how well his toe is." Teague said. "I think the first time he goes out there and snags one of those outs or double moves or whatever they try to give him, then they'll be back to the reality that it's the same old Deion."
