Congratulations to Mike Ditka for being named a First-Team selection on ESPN’s All-Time, All-America college football team.

Even though he is one of the greatest players in American football history, a 1st round draft pick, Super Bowl Champion both as a player and coach, a member of both the College and Pro Football HOF, NFL Rookie of the Year, (1961), Coach of the Year, (85&88), and so on, he was kind enough to accept my invitation to attend our first annual Shell/Pro Football Alumni Community Awards Gala on 6/23/18 to receive a Lifetime Achievement Award. Mike’s acceptance speech was tremendous, it provided everyone a glimpse of what it must have been like to hear him speak to his team in the locker room during his days as an NFL head coach. The Gala is an annual fundraiser supporting local nonprofit organizations in Mike’s hometown community of Beaver County, Pennsylvania.

When the Pittsburgh Steelers were at the apex of their 1970s glory, when they were the mightiest assemblage of football talent in the history of the game, they were held together by Davis, the one they called Tight Man, the nickname given him for his role in keeping the team close. Tight Man befriended rookies, teased fellow veterans and flashed that smile.

Ghost of the Tight Man: What Happened to Sam Davis Sam Davis once was the glue that held the super Steelers together. But a promising career after football was cut short by an unexplained fall that robbed him of the life he knew.

Thank you Pittsburgh North Lifestyle Magazine/Publisher for the feature!
