Agree with the premise of your opinion.. but I am old enough to remember watching Jim Brown on TV.. at that time the Browns were a very good and respected Team.. Won a few NFL Championships in the 50's .. far from being irrelevant .
I was about 10 also..and yes it was really upsetting.. he was out of Penn State and was glad they signed him.. those years of competition for signing draft picks were interesting to say the least..
