    Easily the most dominant RB of all time, and a significant cultural figure. I'd say RIP except that he always came across as such an intense guy that the notion of Jim Brown resting peacefully, even in death, sounds weird to me

    I watched a couple of old interview snippets with Bob Lilly and Sam Huff yesterday, and both said Jim Brown just crushed them when he ran through them, and both of them were pretty big, and very dominant defenders. I also never knew that Art Modell gave him an ultimatum between football and movies, and he chose movies. I always thought he retired after only 9 seasons due to the way he played and simply being to abused to continue.

    One of many reasons why Cleveland fans wish Modell had never bought the team.

    I believe the first time he hit my radar was in Rome as Titus Pullo.

    I've never watched Beyond Thunderdome, mainly because I didn't much care for the original Mad Max so never watched any of the others. Maybe I'll give it a shot in her memory.

    Not really a favorite of mine but her being around the same age hits me.

    When my sister first started at the cancer agency, her worst days were children and people her age.

    The Iron Sheik had a pretty funny Twitter account that will be missed.

    Pretty funny one of his last tweets was still taking shots at Hulk Hogan.
