Oh wow. Sad. I have an old 1960s spiral notebook of baseball and pro football photos and clippings from magazines and newspapers. Great photo of #32 in it. I sent it with a prepaid Priority Mail large envelope to him via the "Amer-I-Can" foundation. He signed the photo, and sent the notebook back to me, gratis. He will always be my all-time favorite. RIP, sir, you truly were the greatest.

Once upon a time, football was primarily a running game played on grass, and nobody did it better.

Indeed, he is. I was lucky to have been able to see him play in 1965 against the Giants at Yankee Stadium. I've never seen a better running back.

I've read about an exchange, maybe it never really took place, between Huff and Brown.

On play one, Huff stops Brown cold, and tells him Brown, you stink.

On play two, Brown runs for like a 50 yard TD, turns around, and yells, hey Huff, how do I smell from here?

LOL Sounds like him. He caught a TD and threw one in the game my father took me to.

I remember you as a bigger guy, Jay!

Back in the day when the Giants and the Browns met regularly, the Brown-Huff encounters were classics!

He was a unique individual!

RIP
