I have a longer post coming on how much I like the Seahawks moves, but I wanted to just put up something to remember and pay tribute to one of my childhood favorites who passed away today. Bubba Smith was a feared defensive end in the NFL, but I really only knew him as Hightower in the Police Academy movies. I loved those movies (the first three anyways) and he was a big part of the gang (no pun intended). There aren’t as many classic Hightower clips on YouTube as there were when Leslie Nielsen passed away, but this one always makes me chuckle. Rest in peace, Bubba!
