I appreciate your sacrifice in the Dirty Dozen.

Greatest Running Back Ever . Greatest Lacrosse Player ever.

Sat next to him on a plane in 1984 when he was thinking about making a return to NFL.

A great guy who did a lot in his later years building positive confidence for youth.

Won't touch the last statement, but a 48 year old Jim Brown was debating a return to the NFL 20 years after he retired?

Haha. Wonder if they were flying to Milwaukee with Quentin Grimes for his official visit at MU.

I remember the SI cover story about it. It mostly made me chuckle, though I woulda taken it more seriously if I had known that our own 9-9-9 was his inspiration.

Continuing the great tradition of MUFINY being everywhere, all the time, involved in everything. He was also in both the Twin Towers and the Pentagon on 9/11.

He was thinking of returning because he was appalled at the thought of Franco Harris breaking his rushing record.

Oh I don’t think so. I just can’t give that label to a running back.

No, Walter Payton was closing in and that’s why he supposedly considered a return.
