RIP Jim Brown

"The pro game in the pop age had a number of superstars, but only one superman, and he was Jim Brown."

 

[Deskgrunt50]

My pop was a huge Browns fan. We had long running argument when I was a kid about who was the best running back of all time. He had Brown of course. Walter Payton for me.

Not just a Hall of Fame player, a cultural icon.

 

[Michael_ Gee]

Best football player of all time. Payton, Rice and Lawrence Taylor are his peer group up at the very top of the mountain. PS: Not that quarterbacks aren't football players, but they're in a different game than the ones who deal and get dealt pain on every play.

RIP to the guy who was the GOAT before such things were talk radio fodder.

 

[mateen]

An extremely complicated figure. Stood for and did a lot of important things that took a lot of courage, but the history of abusing women was just awful.

 

[TheSportsPredictor]

Greatest running back in Baltimore Ravens franchise history.

 

[CD Boogie]

"Don't sweet talk me, whitey."

 

[I Should Coco]

One of the greatest NFL players. And a pretty solid actor, too.

His final "run" was among the best scenes in "The Dirty Dozen."

Goddamit, run Jefferson ...

A very great and terrible man to his rest.
