Hall of Fame linebacker Sam Huff had a story about Brown (related to me by a longtime Browns fan)...

Brown took a handoff and got stuffed for little to no gain by Huff, who followed up the play by telling Brown "You stink!"

Next play? Same result, and again with a little more emphasis, Huff said "Man, you STINK!" He was feeling pretty good right about that time.

On the next play though, Brown blew past him and ran for a 79 yard touchdown.

On the way to the end zone, Brown turned around and asked a pursuing Huff, "How do I smell from here, mother&@#$er?" 😆

He was a legend on the field, he was a brave man during the Civil Rights movement and he successfully made the move from sports to acting. Those weren't easy things to do and he did it with so many people actively working against him.

He was, however, a man with difficulties and I have a hard time reconciling my praise for him on the field with his history of domestic violence... in a time when domestic violence cases weren't taken as seriously as they are now. 

All our heroes, cast as statues of bronze, have feet of clay I guess.

      Should Dave Canalas be on the HOT seat??

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      After last season, it was the same question. And the answer most people came to was "If he doesn't make the playoffs, he's gone." He made the playoffs. No matter how it was done, we made it to the playoffs. He's safe. He's going to have a chance to keep working this out, even if next season isn't a playoff one.  I think we'll do better next year than we did this season. There's something being built here.

      The NBA is a very fickle league. Kon is one of the hottest rookies in years and beyond just his play on the court he is a very steady competitor and that translates to the rest of the team. That has been a glaring absence with the culture of this franchise through the bulk of the LaMelo Ball years that's just being completely blunt and realistic. The enigma of LaMelo Ball is he is entering year 6 and still either red hot or ice cold. We need him to find that sweet spot. Logic dictates the Hornets will want to see this core again next year. But the clock is beyond ticking at this point. It's put up or shut up. Especially considering what the Thunder managed to do recently. I'm hopeful they can keep these wins rolling in and get some much needed playoff experience under their belts which will help substantially.

      I think as long as the Panthers are competitive with Canales they should keep him. Pepper needs to repair his/the teams image as a place prized free agents aren't hesitant to consider. Just dont do any crazy poo for a few years.
