Bill Russell is a national treasure.

yeah he is. my dad used to regale me with tales of russell as player/coach, and havlicek, cousy. true definition of dynasty.

Bill Russell: great player, even better raconteur. The kind of guy you could just sit and watch talk for hours.

I suspect the NFL is last because coaching in that league is, by far, the most intellectually demanding of all the major leagues.

As a result, the prejudiced would be least likely to give an NFL coaching job to an African-American.

I wish I had been alive to watch Russell play Chamberlain.

somehow the words "NFL," "coaching," and "intellectually demanding" seem oddly out of place in the same sentence.

Thanks Josh. This is cool.
