And we’ve produced some amazing backs. And no one, including Barry Sanders of Detroit, never was as great as Brown. I can remember still how Brown mowed over the great Mel Renfro in a game long ago. Brown was a man among boys. Man, what a player!

He quit the game while he was on top.

I think Donald Sutherland may be the last of 'The Dirty Dozen' now.

a person from the crowd yelled "which team gonna win the Superbowl".

Mr. Brown said "the team with the most points".

He seemed like a nice guy, didn't really know anything about him at the time.
