Indigestion


Signing up for this is God’s way of saying you have too much money—a $5000 package deal for the upcoming NFL draft in Chicago provides lodging; “premium seating” for all the rounds of the draft; lunch with Mike Ditka; and breakfast with Gale Sayers.   

Really, lunch with Da Coach?  What exactly would you talk about, politics and Ditka’s chances of working in the Trump Administration?  Maybe Secretary of State or chair of the National Endowment for the Humanities.  I can just see it, the premiere of the NEH funded ballet, “The Sled,” which tells the story in dance of a tackling sled used by the Green Bay Packers.

Any such package as the above should come with a waiver that allows local, state and the federal government to tax the recipient as it sees fit.  I mean, if you’ve got money to burn for a BLT with Mike, it’s only fair.
