Mike Ditka, aka Da Coach, did show up to play himself at the first sold-out performance of "Da Bears Movie Dat Wasn't," a one-night-only reading of a screenplay about the Super Fans of Saturday Night Live fame that was penned, back in the day, by Robert Smigel and Bob Odenkirk.

The show was part of the TBS TV network "Just For Laughs" event.

So will this be shown on TV at sometime or it was only a live screen play? I want to see this sooo bad. Too bad they never did the movie.
