I think they just hung out because they were black and Jones was weird. I'm not ruling out that a drunk "just the tip" night may have happened.
So my Dad was visiting this week. We just re-watched "America's Game: The 1968 Jets" on my DVR 3 days ago. Namath was talking about Dave Herman having nightmares about blocking Bubba. My Dad was explaining to my wife how Hightower from Police Academy was a terrifying defensive player. She thought he was kidding. I can see how that might seem odd. RIP Bubba.
