Ditka is Iron Mike again - thanks to new sex drug Levitra

The makers of Levitra hope those with erectile dysfunction want to be like Mike.

As in "Iron" Mike Ditka, the NFL legend who is the spokesman for a new Viagra-like drug.

"I'm not embarrassed to talk about it," Ditka said of his own personal usage. "I'm not half a man. I just need help, and that's what this pill is all about.

"I don't care what people think. What difference does it make? Iron Mike's rusty Mike. What the heck?"

The fact Ditka was a Viagra user and had a heart attack in 1988 made him an appealing pitchman as part of the NFL's new relationship with the pharmaceutical companies that make Levitra. So did Ditka's masculine image.

Ditka hopes his involvement will inspire other men suffering from the same problem to seek treatment.

"This also has to do with heart, diabetes, prostate," said Ditka, 63. "It's just to make men more aware. If they think they have a problem, the only way they can find out is to see a doctor. If you're going to approach men about their health, what better way than through the NFL?"
