I was often the go-to-guy when it came to lists, especially when they involved historical significances. For example, if Vikings running back Adrian Peterson rushed for 250 yards in a game on Sunday, we’d come up with a list of ‘all-time single-game rushing performances’ on Monday. On a couple of occasions, that meant creating an in-house game show based on “ Password.” Other times, it meant that we needed to venture outside of our usual on-field football top-10 lists we frequently used to wrap the show.įor the most part, the research department would create a top-10 ranking based on timely records being set, spectacular performances, or teams and players making headlines for positive reasons. Occasionally, we needed to get a little creative and silly in order to fill airtime on the daily show, NFL Total Access. In my past life as an NFL Network researcher, summer was the only time during the year that there was the possibility of a slow news day… As long as Brett Favre wasn’t un-retiring. Brown, at the time a cast member of The Dirty Dozen, left the NFL to pursue an acting career. And unlike other future Hall of Famers who walked away from the game at an early age, Jim Brown wasn’t forced out because of injuries. Only a few months prior, he led his team to a second consecutive NFL championship game appearance and was named the league’s Most Valuable Player for 1965.
JIM BROWN IM GONNA GIT YOU SUCKA PROFESSIONAL
Forty-six years ago today, arguably the greatest professional football player ever retired from the sport at the age of 29.
