And Jim Brown was also a good actor.

I'm sure that fans of other RBs will certainly have something to say about it. For example, I grew up watching Walter Payton, and thus tend to be biased in favor of him being the greatest ever.

But nonetheless, RIP Jim Brown, a true sports legend for Cleveland.
Go Cubs Go! Go Cubs Go! Hey Chicago, what do you say? The Cubs are gonna win today!

Whenever people talked about the GOAT, there almost always is a recency bias, as we remember those we say play. I wasn't alive when he last played in the mid-1960s, but lots of folks who were say he is. At the very least, he's up there. RIP to a legend.

Ya know, just for kicks I looked up top NFL running backs and clicked on the first link I found.
