Strange how this bizarre case never got the same media attention OJ got.

I read one of his bios a while ago. He made a great tribute to Oren Lyons for his role in helping him while on the team.

Again, the reactionary, fake, NFL knew about this for years. These emails have been floating around for a whole decade. And they were sent to owners and nfl execs. But they didn’t act until the NYT reported about it.
They don’t care about concussions and player safety. They dont care about BLM. They dont care about veterans. They don’t care about breast cancer. They don’t care about racist emails.
It’s all bs. They only care about perception. And this proves it. Once again.
PS- Lamar Jackson puts himself into the MVP lead with 500+ yards of individual offense in an OT win over the Colts.
You're surprised that a bunch of rich old white dudes who run the league and the teams don't actually care about the players and the players' causes?

Re: Is America a racist nation?
No debate on my part. Jim Brown was hands down the best running back football has ever known. He was pure power ground and pound run your ass over like a bulldozer. OJ, Sayers and a plethora of other running backs were speed and finesse runners. The ground and pound guys don't last that long in the NFL anymore. The game is dominated by big and mean defensive guys who are just stronger and more physical than players of 20/30 years ago.Farfromgeneva wrote: ↑Tue Oct 12, 2021 11:40 amGoing to have to deal with Jim Brown one day...Brooklyn wrote: ↑Tue Oct 12, 2021 11:29 amone of my favorite Buffalo Bills player was some guy named OJ Simpson.

FTR, Terry Pegula owns the Buffalo Bills. His wife Kim Pegula runs the Buffalo Bills. They are her team lock, stock and barrel. She is a woman born in South Korea. You may need to rethink and adjust your inbred racist stereotype.https://www.nfl.com/news/next-woman-up- ... falo-billsNattyBohChamps04 wrote: ↑Tue Oct 12, 2021 12:25 pmkramerica.inc wrote: ↑Tue Oct 12, 2021 12:24 am Tough to “resign” and leave $60M+ on the table.

Re: Is America a racist nation?
Will take this exceedingly rare opportunity to agree with Tech37...and the linemen/linebackers were getting much bigger and faster in Earl's time. No diss of Jim Brown, but Earl was something very special too.

I guess it is fair to say Jim Brown was a legend in his day. Very few of us, myself included, actually saw him play. Earl was that same type of back with more pure speed. He could run over or run around you. Earl Campbell certainly does not get the props that Jim Brown does.

See?... I'm not racist.
I could have chosen John Riggins but easily chose Earl since football is a meritocracy
Re: Is America a racist nation?
Loved Riggins but he was about HALF as fast as Campbell...no?
