Brown is either getting senile in his old age, or he is a poster child for the pressing need for concussion prevention.

Jim Brown has always seemed to have a chip on his shoulder when it comes to running backs that are good. JMO.

Didnt Jim Brown also say Barry Sanders was 2nd or 3rd best running back of all time. Insinuating he was the best and then there was the rest. Asinine Barry Sanders is besy player at any position period. Retired in his prime.

This guy is still mad because he walked away from being a star in football to be a B-movie star.

"(Cleveland) --* The legendary Jim Brown will be absent when the Cleveland Browns unveil their "Ring of Honor" at Cleveland Browns Stadium on September 19.

Brown made his intentions known in a strongly-worded letter. In the message to Browns President Mike Holmgren, sent to the Browns and to The Cleveland Plain Dealer, Brown says he's not at all happy with the role with the team that Holmgren has offered him, one that Brown calls a “greeter, that of a mascot.”

In the letter, Brown told Holmgren, “I don't claim to be the best at anything, and I do not need validation from any man, so I will not participate in your Ring of Honor.”

Jim Brown dominated during an era when a bunch of slow white boys played defense

He would be average now

I thought his one on one videos with Adrian Peterson were brilliant. Especially when he said "I call this the top gear. Not everyone has it. You are one of the few guys who has ever had it."

Emmit Smith was a statpadder and he had pro bowlers at every position around him in his prime.

Barry Sanders had nothing but Herman Moore and Lomas Brown.

Strong hatred for the Bams but Richardson is by far one of the best backs in yrs. Straight beast.
