re: Did Avery Johnson just pull a reverse Bear Bryant?

You failed to mention, because that would have failed your purpose in posting, that both Bryant and Butts sued the Saturday Evening Post. Bryant settled for 300,000, Butts was awarded just over three million, eventually getting 460,000. The magazine went out of business just a couple of years later. (They did re-appear in the early 1980's. It was an article designed to increase circulation, but failed.

I may be one of the few who were adults in the early 1960's, but this is an incident I recall.Was a thirty-year-old student at Alabama when it happened. (After 10 years military)
