Former Bears coach Mike Ditka said Tuesday that Buddy Ryan has accepted an invitation to attend "Glory Days: Legends of the Chicago Bears," a Nov. 5 celebration of the 25th anniversary of Super Bowl XX at Arie Crown Theater.
It will mark the first time Ditka and his former defensive coordinator have united since Ryan left the Bears in 1986 to become coach of the Philadelphia Eagles.
"Buddy's going to come," Ditka told "The Mike North Show" on Fox Sports Radio. "He wants to come, he was happy to be invited. Listen, without Buddy Ryan, we wouldn't have won the championship, it's that simple. Those guys believed in him, and they believed in everything he did."
