All I know is, I sent him a spiral notebook scrapbook someone put together in the 1960s that just happens to have a great color photo of him in it. He signed it, and returned it to me in the Priority Mail envelope I included. GRATIS. No charge. This was last year, when he was 86. Name another big name athlete who will do that.

Guy did some awful things off the field, did some very positive things off the field, and was an amazing athlete. All are true.
Not sure he foots the bill as an amazing person. Never underatood the whole don't speak ill of the dead thing. Seems to be the perfect time to give an honest assessment of someone's life. And not like he's around to read it anyway. Last edited by Snapolit1; 05-22-2023 at 06:05 PM.

RIP to a great man: a great activist; a great football player; a great lacrosse player.
He always stood up and stood out. I always think about the vast difference between him and O.J. Thank You Mr. Brown! .

People wouldn’t bring up his decades of violent assault against women if people weren’t calling his off field life inspirational and describing him as one of the finest of people, a great man. Falsehoods have a tendency to get observed.
It sucks he died, it sucks he beat the shit out of multiple women. The former fact does not bar acknowledgement of the later fact.
