He was absolutely the greatest football player of all time.

Yes he’s gone. ESPN announced it during the golf broadcast about thirty minutes ago. RIP Jim Brown.

Powerful and fast. He and Earnie Davis started a trend.

“Brown offered public support to Donald Trump after his presidential election in 2016, saying Trump ‘really talks about helping Black people.’”

He still holds the career record for most yards per carry, 5.2.

I’m old enough to remember him. A legend.

That’s an amazing stat. Every two carries equals a first down. If the team ran him every play, they’d be unbeatable.

True story: they were interviewing Barry Sander’s father and he said “Barry is good running back but he’s not as good as Jim Brown”, thanks dad.

That article was the first one I saw that mentioned the Great Jim Brown’s strong support for the Great Donald Trump.

One of my few celebrity sightings. Passed him in a stairway at LAX, ca. 1970. Never was a football fan although I knew he was a great player, actually recognized him from movies like 100 Rifles and The Dirty Dozen.

87 years is a very good run for a former pro footballer.
I’ve always heard playing at a professional level for several years can age your body many times faster than the natural rate.

But ESPN mentions his arrest record and history of violence against women. WokESPN has to pile on.
