    Ladd came back, proving again no one who could draw was ever blacklisted. This incident took place during one of Ernie's first visits - 1975 or 1976, (Frankie Cain also liked telling this story). Ladd had a huge run a year or two later against Dusty. I think Ernie was the Florida Champ when he left the first time which was why the TV thing was a big deal.

    I remember my dad telling me about this. I don't remember the part about the tire iron but it makes more sense than what I was told.
    My father's version was both of the Briscos were drunk or stoned and tried to take him down. Ernie Ladd kneed both of them in the head as they came in and knocked them out, threw them in the back seat and dropped them off at the hospital.
    It's funny how the story gets changed but that was the version he heard from Gordon Solie.
    The Sportatorium "parking lot" was nothing but sand as Dutch Mantell says, with a cluster of cabbage palms in the middle.
    There was a huge pile of dead palm branches. I was told there were homeless guys living under those branches, which I didn't believe because it was the middle of summer and unbelievably hot. One day we were leaving the office and my dad says "Hey, fellas, what's up?" and a gravelly voice replied "Hello Coach".
    I visited Grambling last year. Ernie Ladd is a legend there.
    I always thought it was hilarious how on TV promos he'd refer to Dusty as "Dirty Rhodes"

I've yet to see anyone bring up someone's name that Dutch doesn't have a good story about. What a life!!!
