Myles Garrett caught some heat for his response to Sunday’s finale of “The Last Dance.”

The Cleveland Browns defensive end was impressed with the sportsmanship Karl Malone showed by congratulating Michael Jordan on the Chicago Bulls bus after losing in the 1998 NBA Finals.

Wait, what?

Sportsmanship commentary coming from a player who’s better known for swinging his helmet at Mason Rudolph’s head than his Pro Bowl prowess raised some eyebrows. But Garrett doesn’t care.

He rolled on with “The Last Dance” takes late Sunday, inviting his teammate and Pro Bowl wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. into the mix while highlighting a clip of Malone and Dennis Rodman trading smacks on the butt.

Why you bringin’ up old stuff?

The tweet is a reference to January’s controversy that saw Beckham charged with battery for slapping a police officer on the butt while celebrating LSU’s national championship in New Orleans.

The officer involved eventually declined to pursue charges, leaving Beckham in the clear. But Garrett’s tweet prompted Beckham to quip back with a question on the minds of a lot of football fans in the aftermath of Garrett’s controversy.

How exactly did he escape criminal charges for hitting another man in the head with a blunt object?

The tweets appear to all be in good fun. As much fun as can be had around a discussion on assault charges.

And why not? These guys aren’t going to escape their respective controversies. They might as well own them.

Kiko Casilla has received praise for how he’s dealt with his FA charge of racist abuse against West Brom winger Jonathan Leko.

Leeds United first choice keeper Casilla served two of his eight suspended matches after being found guilty of using abusive language aimed at Leko, prior to the coronavirus outbreak prompting the suspension of the campaign.

Yet he’s been applauded for his response and mental strength to the episode by Leeds’ director of football Victor Orta.

Albion youngster Leko, who spent the first half of the season on loan at Championship rivals Charlton Athletic before suffering a season ending injury and returning to The Hawthorns, was playing for the Addicks against Leeds at The Valley in September when the pair clashed in the second half before the taking of a corner and the referee intervened.

Following Casilla punching the aforementioned corner kick clear, he was then heard uttering the abusive language for which he was charged.

Casilla denied the charge before the end of November and requested a hearing in front of an independent regulatory commission, but the charge was unanimously upheld. He was also charged £60,000 and ordered to attend an FA education programme.

In the meantime he’s been advising young deputy Ilan Meslier, Orta explains.

“Kiko arrived less time ago [than Pablo Hernandez],” Orta told EFE. “He has had adversities and has managed to overcome [them], he has known how to feel the colours of the club and interpret what this team is.

“I am also very proud because, with all the adversities he has suffered, he is still mentally very strong and helping a lot.

“Even with the current situation, he is helping Meslier, the young goalkeeper, after the sanction was received. The truth is I am very proud of both (Casilla and Hernandez) of them.”
