The NFL changed the rules right before the Super Bowl and this innovative coach was able to adjust almost winning the Super Bowl.

The the NFL comes back and says, "Yeah, you can run the no huddle...our bad".

The NFL is fixed!

The irony is I think Paul Brown thought because Sam had been a compliant player he'd be a compliant coach.   

Then he turned out to be a genius and a firebrand.  And ar the first time he stood up to the family they canned him and said he quit

This is an intergenerational problem that I don't see going away.  Paul got away with it because he was a football genius.  But genius is rarely found in successive generations.

They are good people though, and I am praying Katie breaks the mold.

And yeah, the NFL is corrupt.
