More serious though was the sad story of James Brooks, who graduated from Auburn, despite not being able to read.

“More serious though was the sad story of James Brooks, who graduated from Auburn, despite not being able to read.”

If you are talking about the same James Brooks who played for the Cincinnati Bengals, I did not know that he did not know how to read.

However, the guy had his head on straight.

I remember a trainer’s story that the next day after the loss to the SF 49ers, he was in the training room of the Bengals the morning after the loss. The trainer asked him, What are you doing here”? He answered, “Getting ready for next season.” I had to admire him for that even though I was not a Bengals fan.
