Football, baseball, basketball, hockey. It doesn’t matter. If it’s on TV, Aaron Glenn is watching.
Glenn, the Detroit Lions’ third-year defensive coordinator and noted sports junkie, was at his Birmingham home this spring, winding down from a long day of practice, when he flipped on Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final.
The Vegas Golden Knights beat the Florida Panthers, 9-3, to win their first championship, and as NHL commissioner Gary Bettman feted the team for its accomplishment, he summoned Golden Knights right wing Mark Stone to his end of the ice.
“Our tradition for this 130-year-old trophy is to present it to the captain,” Bettman said, shaking hands with Stone and then helping him lift the trophy off its pedestal.
