****! RIP

The term GOAT is overused.

This is one time that it absolutely applies.

 

[BoxingRobes]

He is one of the greatest Americans. His contributions to this country are too numerous.

Rest In Power, Legend.

The man was a legend. RIP

 

[Hold My Beer]

Would've been a dominant player in any era.

Can't say that about many

RIP

Never got to watch the man play, but my old man said he was the GOAT.

 

[SayWhat]

The best there ever was IMHO. Had he continued playing in the NFL, I don't think the GOAT status would even be questioned.

Here's a little-known fun fact...

Jim Brown averaged almost as many yards per rush as Al "Froggy" Shipman...

Truth...

Met Jim several times; he worked closely w/ my frat brother’s non profit community activist foundation. He’s always been sincere, and a man’s man. Firm handshake, gracious in speech & wasn’t w/ the b.s. A true living legend, & he’ll be missed. Rest easy JB.

Interesting fact about JB, was arguably as good at Lacrosse as he was at Football. RIP to one of the best to do ever do it!

This article explains why he retired. Fascinating.

Loved watching him play when I was a kid. Was shocked when he quit at the peak of his career. Best football player to ever live and best Lacrosse player to ever live. Also read that he still holds a Long Island High School single season basketball scoring record with an average of 38.5 ppg.

Modell overplayed his hand. The Browns needed Brown more than he needed them.
