This freaking guy
Tom Brady couldn’t stay away after all. His retirement lasted less than six weeks, reversing course to announce his intentions of returning to Tampa Bay for his 23rd NFL season.

If Hue Jackson cared about HBCUs, he wouldn’t have hired Art Briles
Deion Sanders banned a Black reporter from covering his program. Eddie George had to be convinced by a white man to take a job at a Historically Black College and University.
