Jim Brown is my all time favorite player and arguably the best running back in the history of the game. HUGE loss.

Both of your statements could be true. Watched him play as a kid. Retired on top as the nfl's best back. Could be wrong on this but think he was only 29.

He is arguably the greatest athlete of all time, period, if you look at what he did in college in football, lacrosse, basketball and track.

Never forget him slowly stumble back to the huddle...just get there at the huddle break...painfully get in presnap position and then rip the D to shreds. Then repeat.

I remember how slow he used to get up after the play and people wondering if he was all right, once a reporter asked him about that and he said he was "conserving energy". I think that was a truthful answer, he believed if he could recharge a little after each play it gave him an extra boost on the next one.

Surprised death was able to tackle his ass...nothing else could.

I remember watching those old NFL films about him and was blown away by how good he was. R.I.P.

Watched him every Sunday . The Browns was everyones team in Eastern Kentucky.

Jim Brown and Ernie Green were possibly the best backfield ever. Brown retired at the right time and became a capable Hollywood actor. Very intelligent, and a man's man. RIP.

They were the only game on but if you can only watch one team we were lucky it was Jim Brown,it was crazy watching him get up and walk back to huddle.

Death may miss a few tackles but He will not miss on the last one.

Right up there with Jim Thorpe for sure. Sportsmen of their eras.

Same in western Ohio. He was the only player in the NFL who opposing teams had to devote their entire defensive game plan to slowing down.
