He ranks 13th in NFL history with 1,055 career catches.

Brigance won a Super Bowl as a linebacker with the Ravens in 2000, and served as an inspiration to the organization since being diagnosed with ALS 19 years ago.

>>Buss Family Not in Agreement in Los Angeles Lakers Sale
(Los Angeles, CA) — Jeanie Buss’ attorney says not so fast to claims that the Buss family is selling its remaining 17.8-percent stake in the Los Angeles Lakers to the new majority owners. The LA Times reports Buss, the team’s governor, put out a statement through her attorney saying any family vote to sell their shares is invalid without approval from the current trustees, Jeanie, Janie and Joey Buss. Disney CEO Bob Iger and venture capitalist Josh Kushner have already agreed to buy Mark Walter’s controlling stake in the Lakers, valuing the team at a record 12-point-5 billion dollars.
>>Report: Clippers Didn’t Circumvent Salary Cap
(Inglewood, CA) — The NBA’s investigation into alleged salary cap circumvention by the Los Angeles Clippers appears to be winding down. ESPN reports the league found no evidence that Clippers owner Steve Ballmer funneled money to forward Kawhi Leonard through defunct green banking company Aspiration through a “no show” promotional job. However, NBA spokesman Mike Bass said the report by ESPN contains significant inaccuracies and the results will be made clear once the investigation has ended.
