FLOWERY BRANCH —
Tyrone would not be taking this well. He would be phoning his big brother before and after every game, as he always did, imploring him as part booster, part cattle prod, “Do what you do! Be a baller!” And then he would probably ask why the ball wasn’t going in his brother’s direction any more.
“Oh, he would not be taking this well,” Roddy White said. “He would be having heart attacks right now. It wouldn’t be good words. But I miss those phone calls.”
This has been a difficult season for White.
