R.I.P. Dennis Green

Couldn't win the big one, but Dennis Green was a helluva coach and by all accounts a great person. I always liked him...brought a personality to the game that too many coaches lack. He'll be missed.

One of the great press conferences...you'll know what it is before you even click the link:

I was actually going to post this but you beat me to it. Bastard.

Still can't find out how he died, and whenever I hear someone died that's the main thing I always want to know, because I'm just weird like that. At least the nfl.com article kept the race-baiting to a minimum.

One thing I don't think many people know or remember about Green is that he was a pretty good percussionist. (That means he could play a mean set of drums.)

The thing is, I absolutely could relate to how Green felt and what he was saying even as I saw that for the first time back then. It irked me that it was mocked so heavily, especially since the same people who mocked it seemingly have no problem going on far worse internet rants or displaying anger in other more destructive ways.
