I actually respect that Mark Emmert ducked the media that covers college sports (and not for a “broadcast partner”) from day one until the bitter end. It was a savvy decision. Thankless (well paying) job that he was mid at.

Tom Brady wanted to transfer from Michigan. Coach Lloyd Carr dared him to stay and compete. On a spark that helped propel the greatest NFL career ever.

Tom Brady's evolution from David to Goliath was buoyed by this Michigan moment

All the Super Bowl titles and records might not have happened if Brady didn't listen to then-Wolverines head coach Lloyd Carr after his second season in Ann Arbor.

Tom Brady retires, the culmination of a relentless pursuit of winning.

Tom Brady retires with nothing left to prove and nothing left to give

Tom Brady heads into retirement, leaving the NFL as the most obsessive winner the league has ever known.

Tom Brady announces he is retiring “for good.” Incredible career, you never say never but difficult to see anyone eclipse the success and longevity.

After the biggest of mistakes in the biggest of games, BJ Hill stood, literally, by Joseph Ossai’s side. This was a Bengals solidarity in the worst of times

Joseph Ossai's hit on Patrick Mahomes goes down in Bengals infamy, but he didn't face scrutiny alone

Head coach Zac Taylor came and embraced him and let him cry into his shoulder. For Ossai, the support meant the world, but he also still thought he had let the Bengals' world down.

Because he retired before the Patriots dynasty, he never gets the right recognition. 5x Pro Bowler. All-Decade Team ‘90s. Ben Coates was an impossible TE matchup. So dominant.
