Former USC Linebacker Keith Browner Passes Away

Former USC linebacker Keith Browner died Tuesday after a sudden illness according to TMZ. He was 63.

Browner played the most minutes of any USC player in 1982 and was a team captain in 1983.

His older brother, Joey, was an All-American star safety at USC from 1979-82 and another brother Ross, was an All-American star defensive tackle at Notre Dame from 1973-77. Ross died in 2022.

Two other brothers, Jim and Willard, played for Notre Dame, and his late brother, Gerald, played for Georgia.

“They taught me all about sports and life and what to expect in the future,” Keith said.

Browner joined the USC basketball team after his freshman season of football and was a reserve forward.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers selected Keith Browner in the second round of the 1984 NFL Draft with the No. 30 pick, and he appeared in 64 career NFL games with 44 starts.

Browner did not even play football his senior year at Southwest High School in Atlanta because he was a star basketball player. He was a two-time All-Georgia AAA center and he led the team to a state title his junior year.

  1. Way too young to pass as we were discussing on prior blog post. Sudden stomach pain came on, he may not have gone to the hospital in time, he collapsed at home. A star from the glory days of Troy.

    2. Hope it wasn’t related to listeria outbreak that has killed 6 and made 27 seriously ill across 18 states. Found in pre-made pasta dishes sold at Trader Joe’s, Sprouts and several other retailers.

  2. Remarkable that he was offered and accepted a football scholarship when he clearly preferred basketball having sat out his senior year of football after being named a basketball all star and leading his team to a state championship. Kind of reminds me of Drake London.

        Unfortunately Chickens^%$ Gabby, there is nothing righteous about you.

        Your a gutless, lying punk, that hurls insults on the handicapped, the homeless, or bloggers’ wives, mothers and daughters and then scurries away like a scared little mouse.

        You belong on the Biden/Harris re-election committee. You will find kindred spirits there.

        Go and leave the Inside USC blog alone.

    2. KAM: Neal Katyal’s Law Firm Striking Trump Deal Stuns MSNBC Viewers

      Published

      Apr 03, 2025 at 11:57 AM EDT

      Neal Katyal

      Neal Katyal, the attorney who argued against the Trump administration in the case Trump v. Hawaii, speaks to members of the media outside the Supreme …Read More | Andrew Harnik/AP/AP By Martha McHardy US News Reporter MSNBC viewers were caught off guard after reports surfaced that Neal Katyal’s law firm had struck a deal involving Donald Trump—a move that appears at odds with Katyal’s outspoken legal critiques of the former president. Newsweek has contacted Katyal and his law firm, Milbank, for comment via email.Why It Matters Neal Katyal, the former acting solicitor general of the United States and legal analyst for MSNBC, is a frequent critic of Donald Trump. He previously criticized Trump’s attempt to delay his hush money trial, in which the president was convicted. He also joined a lawsuit against Trump in February, challenging the Republican president’s effort to remove the head of a key agency that hears cases brought by federal government workers who are fired or disciplined. He also wrote a book making the case for impeaching Trump. Owing to Katyal’s track record of opposing Trump, MSNBC viewers were surprised to find that the law firm he is part of has struck a deal with Trump. The settlements come amid widespread concern over the U.S. president’s attempts to target law firms linked to his political opponents, with critics viewing these actions as a thinly veiled anti-democratic effort to intimidate lawyers from representing cases against the administration.

      What To Know Milbank, the law firm at which Katyal is a partner, has reached a deal with the Trump administration to avoid executive orders that could significantly harm their business, Trump said in a post on Truth Social on Wednesday.

      According to Trump’s post, Milbank has committed $100 million in pro bono legal services to causes backed by the Trump administration, including support for veterans, active-duty military members, and individuals facing injustices in the criminal justice system.

      The firm also pledged to use a merit-based system, refrain from “illegal D.E.I. discrimination,” and ensure that clients are not denied representation based on their political views. The settlement follows similar agreements recently announced by Trump with two other major law firms: Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom and Willkie Farr & Gallagher. 

      DON: Kamala Harris’s husband, Doug Emhoff, joined Wilkie Farr & Gallagher in January and told the firm it should not settle with Trump, according to the New York Times.

      But it was Milbank’s deal that raised eyebrows this week.

      MSNBC viewer Peg Manley expressed her disappointment on X, calling Neal Katyal a “coward” unless he quits under protest, stating she wouldn’t watch MSNBC when he’s on.

      Similarly, Bluesky users criticized Katyal, with one accusing him of losing credibility. MSNBC viewer and former lawyer Jon Jackson also criticized Neal Katyal on X, saying that every law firm that has fought back against Trump’s illegal Executive Orders has won. He argued that Katyal’s decision to cave is worse than giving up!!!!!
