A Glimpse In The Life Of Jim Brown 

James Nathaniel Brown (born February 17, 1936) is an American former professional football player who has also made his mark as an actor and social activist. He is best known for his exceptional and record-setting nine-year career as a running back for the NFL Cleveland Browns from 1957 to 1965. He is still considered as a candidate for the best running back of all time. In 2002 wasJim Brown named by The Sporting News as the greatest professional football player ever. Sportswriter Bert Randolph Sugar named Brown #1 in his book The Greatest Athletes of All Time.


Players like Chuck Bednarik, David D. Deacon Jones, Johnny Sample, and Sam Huff remembered how Jim Brown was never intimidated. Sam Huff tried and he failed miserably. He would say stuff like "Way to go D," or "Nice tackle Sam." "Way to go D. Come right back at you again you hate that. I'd rather he call me some nasty name or something," David "Deacon" Jones said. "You'd gang-tackled him, did what ever you could, give him extracurriculars. He'd get up slow, look at you, and walk back to the huddle and wouldn't say a word, just come at you again, and again, said Chuck Bednarik. "You'd just say 'What the hell? What's wrong with this guy for heaven sake when is he gonna stop carrying the ball, how much more can he take?" For more, see Wikipedia, Jim Brown.

    What a jerk filing a petty lawsuit cause hes broke has been that game doesnt even use his name and its for fans to be able to use how is that going to hurt anyone. Its a videogame way to set a great example for our youth this is another great show of the abuse in our court system.
