    I grew up in Cincinnati, Ohio. Now, this was before the Bengals so everyone was a Browns fan.
    I always watched the games with my father and brother, and I was amazed at the ability of Jim Brown. RIP Jim!!

    What amazes me the most about Jim Brown is the numbers he put up were in an era that was only a 12 game season. Only the last two years of his career there were 14 game seasons. If he played in a 16 game season or now 17 games, he would be the first player with 20,000 yards rushing

      I agree with you that Jim Brown was the GOAT. However, don’t forget that he did have a bad game now and then. He wasn’t Superman. I recall the 1958 playoff against the Giants with a trip to the NFL championship against the Colts at stake, when he rushed for 8 yards in 7 carries. He could be stopped occasionally, and he was. From watching his highlight films, you would think that he ran for a TD every time he touched the ball. He didn’t. Sometimes he was completely shut down. He was also quite fumble prone, and Jim was not a particularly good blocker either. He had weaknesses in his game. Also, he was never able to defeat Vince Lombardi’s Green Bay Packers even once during his entire NFL career. NOT ONCE!!! Lombardi always contained Jim Brown whenever Green Bay played Cleveland. I think Brown was like 0-7 against the Packers over the course of his 9 years. And whenever he went head to head against Jim Taylor, Jim Taylor always got the better of him. Just sayin...

I did go to the 1962 NFL championship game at the stadium between the Packers and Giants, Packers beat them again, brutal game as Giants beat up on Jim Taylor, who had beaten out Jim Brown that year for the rushing leader.

    No one. I mean no one can can top Jim Brown. Saw him play in my early teens years and onward. Not only the greatest football player ever but the greatest college lacrosse player in collegiate history. Also ran track and played basketball at Syracuse. No artificial surface back then. They played in the mud with no footing in the rain. The league was a geared toward the run game. Passing was very difficult. Receivers could half tackled on their routes. Closed lined going across the middle and blindsided on tackles,and offensive lineman couldn’t grab and hold like they do today. Every defense was geared to stop the run. The NFL ranked the 100 greatest players in history and No 1 was Jerry Rice. No.2 was Brown, what a joke.
    The false argument that if he played today he wouldn’t be as great. Bullshit.with the training and conditioning they have today along with better nutrition, Brown would be be even greater. This was a freaking MAN!

Which I don’t see how he could do that and not get caught . Also it’s extremely dangerous to play sports on coke because your heart is racing dangerously even if you’re sitting there not doing anything , so if you’re overly exerting yourself on coke and I mean for a WHoLE football game that’s absolutely crazy. I remember having a race with one of my friends when we were super bumped up and I Remember getting done the race (sprint). And my heart was going so fast I thought for sure that was it, I was going to die. I literally thought my heart would rupture or seize and I would die. Scared the shit out of me . Never touched the stuff again. And this was 20 years ago when I was 22 and in perfect shape.. Also I knew LT smoked crack when he was in the league , but using during games is a stretch.

    My favorite comment was about the draft. Paul Brown wanted a QB but all the ones he wanted were gone so he had to settle for the best running back at the 6th pick. In the draft, don't overthink your pick. Especially in the first round. Take the best player available and even more so if they are at a premium position which is what running backs were in 1957. In his 9th game he ran for 237 yards which was a record which stood for 14 years and a rookie record which held for 40 years. The next year (1958) he set the record for yards rushing in a season beating the previous record by nearly 400 yards. Which was about 32 yards more per game than the record. He led the league that year for touchdowns with 17 and the next highest player had 8.

    It seems that professional athletes in the '50s and '60s --- and you can especially see this in tennis players and football players --- kept their bodies much looser than they do today. They kept the muscular tension out of their bodies, and therefore moved more fluidly when they performed on the field.
    You can see this with Brown. His legs, hips, shoulders, and arms were loose and fluid when he ran. Contrast that with players today, who seem really tight and stiff. I suspect that this lack of tension helped helped them maintain a better mind-body connection. This helped Brown adapt intuitively and reflexively to evade opponents, and that it helped him maintain his balance better than today's players.
    For me, this is such a great pleasure to watch for this reason

      Home At Last, Would I be correct in thinking you are saying that weight lifting is not that good in some ways for running backs? Perhaps, all these injuries such as hamstring strains, knee injuries etc. are due to tightness from weight lifting. I say knee injuries because weight lifting puts a lot of strain on the joints.

    • @HomeAtLast501
      @HomeAtLast501 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@captainwaring Quite honestly, I wouldn't be a very good judge as to WHY there appears to be more tension in their bodies. Are you saying that guys like Brown didn't lift weights? That they didn't really do weight training back then? I have no idea.
      I was thinking about this purely from a psychological standpoint. It seems that society today is more driven to push us to drive to go balls-to-the-walls for any goal --- just the straight line from point A to point B. And this creates psychological tension that manifests in muscular tension.
      But you could be right.
      Also, I'm not really that into sports. I mean, I don't watch football very much anymore. But I played tennis and built up a decent club ranking (4.5 at my peak), and I have also been a runner/jogger my entire life. I went through a biking phase. And I figured out more so through my running and tennis that when I was able to keep my body relaxed --- to get rid of the muscular tension --- I got into the zone and played fare better. I could react better in-the-moment the way Brown seems to be doing.
      My son (now 22) was a very good athlete, and I taught him this principle for his hitting in baseball. He used to tighten his shoulders and hike them up, and I taught him to keep his shoulders and hands totally loose, and his hips too, and it improved his hitting dramatically.
      I noticed years ago that Tom Brady seemed totally loose. If you look at old footage of Brady his shoulders are totally dropped, and his arms hang and dangle like wet noodles.
      If you look at Brown you can see his shoulders and hips are loose. Now that I look at these films again, I could be wrong, please correct me if I am, but it seems like Brown is keeping his core loose and fluid. It seems that today's players have these super-tight cores, and they use that to drive their legs like pistons. Whereas Brown's entire body is fluid, and it's like energy is flowing THROUGH him.

      Sorry to go on, but it's an interesting topic for me. I'm a huge Elvis fan, and I sing too, and I even noticed that when Elvis performed he was constantly flexing his shoulders forward and down to stretch them and loosen them up. And if you watch him dance with Ann Margret in Viva Las Vegas (the "Come On Everybody" number), he is a better dancer than she is because she is all tight, and he is totally loose, his weight drops to his feet, and he remains centered and balanced and graceful, far more than she is, and she's a professional dancer.

    Saw about half of Jim Brown's games live on TV and the thing that sticks out in my mind is how almost all of his great plays happened with little or no warning as they unfolded. He simply made, it seems, a thousand great plays out of nowhere. For that reason I really don't think highlight videos do him full justice. He was one athlete that had to be seen live to fully appreciate his greatness. It also has to be understood that from the middle of his rookie season to his last game as a pro he was the main focus of every defense on virtually every play.
