    ESPN has another potential image problem on its hands. Only two days after baseball analyst Curt Schilling ripped Democratic presidential contender Hillary Clinton, NFL analyst Mike Ditka blasted President Barack Obama as the "worst" president ever. He also said he'd probably vote for Donald Trump for president.

    The longtime analyst on ESPN's "Sunday NFL Countdown" made the comments Thursday during an appearance on the Bernie and Sid morning radio show on WABC-AM in New York. When asked about Obama by hosts Sid Rosenberg and Bernard McGuirk, Iron Mike unloaded on the commander in chief.

    "Obama is the worst president we've ever had," said the Pro Football Hall of Famer, who coached the 1985 Bears to a victory in Super Bowl XX.

    Ditka believes Obama is a nice enough guy but that his leadership skills are "disgusting." If Election Day were tomorrow, he said, he'd vote for the tough-talking Trump over Clinton or Republican rivals such as Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio and John Kasich.

    Do you have any news that isn't already weeks old?    

    And who cares what an ex-football coach thinks/says?   It's the equivalent of hollywood actors talking about politics.   You are quick to dismiss the celebrities that said they would move to Canada if Trump is elected, but this talking head makes a point you agree with and now all the sudden he becomes a valid point maker?

    According to Wikipedia, Ditka describes himself as an "ultra-ultra-ultra conservative," so his endorsement of a rabid hatemonger and xenophobe with a vicious temper should come as no surprise to anybody who has knowledge of other political comments Ditka has made.

    Ditka's rants way back when ... Especially post game rants, are still a good watch on YouTube. "We don't know how to throw a ball, how to block, how to tackle; we looked like shiet out there ..."
