"Everyone missed Ed Orgeron. I missed him too, and he wanted to fight me once."

Years later, an Orgeron colleague from their University of Miami days told me that he once had to pick up "Bebe" (Orgeron's nickname) from police custody after a night out. He said he was told by law enforcement officials seasoned in evaluating violence that Orgeron's bar fight opponent looked dead.

"The cops thought Bebe had killed the other guy. That was Bebe. He was wild."

"HELLLLLL YEAAAAAHHHHH!!!!" It was Orgeron’s voice through the divider, followed by another cheer. Orgeron was pounding something, a desk maybe.

Freeze began to draw plays on the whiteboard, identifying what the staff didn’t want public. Orgeron’s screams built.

"WHAT A frickIN' HIT, MEN!"
