Mike Ditka has a simple message for the NFL's owners and players as the possibility of a lockout looms.
"I hear that [lockout] talk and I just can't believe anybody is that stupid," Ditka said Thursday on "The Waddle & Silvy Show" on ESPN 1000.
"If the owners or the players are that stupid that they are going to shoot this golden goose ... I mean it's laying golden eggs. It's a multibillion dollar business. It's the most popular sport in this country, don't kill it.
"Don't be greedy. Greed has killed a lot of things in the world. Don't be greedy. There's a way to work out every situation if you're willing to work it out."
