Having seen Jimmy play in person, the only current running back who deserves to be held in the same rgard is our own Nick Chubb.

Walter Payton, Eric Dickerson, Bo Jackson and Emmitt Smith deserve to be in that conversation as well.

RIP Big Man.

Brown married his first wife Sue Brown (née Jones) in September 1959.[53] She sued for divorce in 1968, charging him with "gross neglect." Together they had three children, twins born 1960, and a son born 1962.[54] Their divorce was finalized in 1972.[55]Brown was ordered to pay $2,500 per month in alimony and $100 per week for child support.[56]

In 1965, Brown was arrested in his hotel room for assault and battery against an 18-year-old named Brenda Ayres; he was later acquitted of those charges.[53] A year later, he fought paternity allegations that he fathered Brenda Ayres' child.[57]

In 1968, Brown was charged with assault with intent to commit murder after model Eva Bohn-Chin was found beneath the balcony of Brown's second-floor apartment.[58] The charges were later dismissed after Bohn-Chin refused to cooperate with the prosecutor's office. Brown was also ordered to pay a $300 fine for striking a deputy sheriff involved in the investigation during the incident. In Brown's autobiography, he stated that Bohn-Chin was angry and jealous over an affair he had been having with Gloria Steinem, and this argument is what led to the "misunderstanding with the police".[59]

In 1970, Brown was found not guilty of assault and battery, the charges stemming from a road-rage incident that had occurred in 1969.[60]

In December 1973, Brown proposed to 18-year-old Diane Stanley, a Clark College student he met in Acapulco, Mexico, in April of that year.[61][62] They broke off their engagement in 1974.[63]

In 1975, Brown was convicted of misdemeanor battery for beating and choking his golfing partner, Frank Snow. He was sentenced to one day in jail, two years' probation, and a fine of $500.[64][65]

In 1985, Brown was charged with raping a 33-year-old woman.[66] The charges were later dismissed.[67]

In 1986, Brown was arrested for assaulting his fiancée Debra Clark.[68] Clark refused to press charges, though, and Brown was released.[69]

Brown married his second wife Monique Brown in 1997; they have two children.[70] In 1999, Brown was arrested and charged with making terroristic threats toward his wife. Later that year, he was found guilty of vandalism for smashing his wife's car with a shovel.[71] He was sentenced to three years' probation, one year of domestic violence counseling, and 400 hours of community service or 40 hours on a work crew along with a $1,800 fine.[72] Brown ignored the terms of his sentence and in 2000 was sentenced to six months in jail, which he began serving in 2002 after refusing the court-ordered counseling and community service.[73] He was released after three months.[74][75]

Also a civil rights activist….

 

but yeah

I’m not saying he never did anything positive, but dude was committing domestic violence 35 years after the civil rights act passed. Literally the only thing that stopped this dude from assaulting people, primarily women, was old age.

This isn’t a situation where he was a young dude and made some mistakes, he was committing these crimes into his 60s.  
 

Oh and dude was 38 and engaged to an 18 year old. Legal?  Sure.  Still creepy as hell and probably predatory imo.

Why do people have to pretend someone is a good dude after they die? Is there an acceptable period we are allowed to address the elephant in the room?

Great player no question. Maybe the best ever. We have to pretend he was a good guy though for an acceptable time period?
