Chicago, Illinois-Former Bears Coach and ESPN NFL analyst Mike Ditka suffered a minor stroke Friday evening.

Ditka told the Chicago Tribune that he's feeling good and that the stroke "is not a big deal."

Ditka is 73 years old. He's been in good health since suffering a heart attack in 1988.  Ditka coached the Bears from 1982-1002. He will miss his ESPN studio show assignments this weekend.
