A giant among men in so many different ways.
After football (and lacrosse), he was an actor and dedicated social activist. A very complex and complicated man who defied stereotype. And, undoubtedly, one of the best to cone out of Syracuse University (which, for me, is no small honor and acknowledgment).
Requiescat in pace, Mr. Brown.

Jim went to high school in my hometown of Manhasset, LI (also site of The Tender Bar). RIP Jim.

While waiting for our beatdown of UVA tomorrow, let's recognize that Mr. Brown is in the Lacross Hall of Fame as well as Canton. Can you imagine him with a Lacrosse stick in his hands?

While waiting for our beatdown of UVA tomorrow, let's recognize that Mr. Brown is in the Lacross Hall of Fame as well as Canton. Can you imagine him with a Lacrosse stick in his hands? The late Dick Schaap once played goalie for Cornell and reminisced that there was nothing in lacrosse quite like seeing Syracuse's Jim Brown heading unimpeded to the goal. www.georgevecsey.com/home/add-this-to-the-jim-brown-legend |

Rest in Peace to someone who left both the NFL and life on top.
