Greene made a lasting impression wherever he went in a pro football career that included playing stints with the Rams, Steelers, Panthers and 49ers and coaching stops with the Packers and Jets.

Neither Love nor the Cavaliers are responsible for the signage, with the clothing company getting the jump on Love’s arrival with the advertisement downtown Cleveland. The jacket features the logo used for the team from 1983 to 1994, a blue and orange affair that we will likely see more and more of as LeBron James makes his return to his home state. This probably indicates that Love – who has longed for a major market, a contender, or both – could benefit greatly in the realm of sponsorship deals as he plays alongside the greatest basketball player on the planet....

The third-year Aggies coach fled from his players as they tried to dump the drink on him following their victory against the Tar Heels.
