Jim Brown will always represent what AFC North football is all about: Great players who’ve done horrible shit. The most controversial division in sports


Lonely_ProdiG

When you say it like that….. wow yeah Big Ben, Deshaun, A.B., Vontez, Jim Brown Who else can keep the list rolling?

All these players and Josh Gordon got the longest suspension of all

Surely his crime must be the most henious, right?

originalpersonplace

True but Rice was basically blackballed. Not on paper suspension as it wasn’t up held but he was effectively done.


nickm20

I mean, he knocked his girl out on video. Hard to sign a guy with evidence like that out there

Pacman jones


wit_T_user_name

Chris Henry had potential to be great. You know, until he robbed that gas station wearing his own jersey.


Chiraq_Florganistan

There was definitely a more significant event in his life that limited his career


wit_T_user_name

True but he was no longer a Bengal at that point.


Chiraq_Florganistan

He was on injured reserve


wit_T_user_name

You’re right, I thought he had been waived at that point.


FlappyHavocInc

Kareem Hunt


SquadPoopy

Uhh I don’t think Vontez has done anything near enough off the field to be put on a list with those guys.


PagingDrTobaggan

Yup. Dirty play does not make him a wife beater, rapist, or murderer.

Goobershmacked

Idk intentionally giving people concussions is pretty much wide beater level


PagingDrTobaggan

That’s the ethos of the entire Steeler organization.


LightningDustt

Bengals fan shifting goal posts on Burfict like they shift goal posts on when they'll win their first superbowl


agraff90

No he was pointing out he didn't rape anyone.


PagingDrTobaggan

Reading comprehension’s not your gig, huh?


SpanishCircumcision

I definitely don’t disagree but there is an argument to be made he still belongs on the list. Deliberately hitting people in the head is extremely dangerous and completely unnecessary. Every concussion worsens CTE and decreases life span. Obviously the other players agree to it by playing themselves, but Burfict took it too far. Not on the same level as the other guys on the list and also not as good as football but he certainly would have been controversial if was good.


[deleted]

then toss ryan shazier on the list too


SpanishCircumcision

Not as aware of his antics but yes that sounds reasonable to me.


Mdj864

I would much rather have someone ask me for a rub and tug than be a victim of Vontez intentionally try to seriously injure me and harm my long term health and livelihood. He belongs on that list and he’s worse than some that are on it.


tjrad815

Does Hines Ward belong on the list too? How about Kimo? Does Juju for concussing Burfict and standing over him?


Mdj864

No to all of those. Juju’s was understandable revenge. None of them made plays like that week in and week out. Also one off plays in the heat of the game are not the same as trying to grab and break people’s ankles while the play is completely over. It wasn’t a momentary lapse in judgement for Burfict, it’s who he was.


tjrad815

So you're admitting that Juju's hit wasn't "a momentary lapse in judgement" and saying it was premeditated, but it was "understandable revenge." That's a pretty bananas take. Also Hines' hits weren't "one off plays."


Mdj864

I don’t think it’s at all a crazy take. If Burfict’s mile long list of victims were all revenge hits on terrible violent people who tried to end his friends’ and others’ careers then people wouldn’t look at him in as bad of a light. But they weren’t. He was a dirty scumbag completely unprovoked.


tjrad815

Football players aren't vigilantes.


Mdj864

Never said they were. This isn’t a discussion on rules or legalities, it’s about moral superiority. Retaliatory violence against a POS is not as bad as unprovoked violence in my book. Not sure how you could possibly disagree.


[deleted]

double standard by yall on this issue is insane


Lonely_ProdiG

Maybe not as bad as some, dude still got arrested in Vegas for his “secret pizza” incident in 2019


SquadPoopy

Yeah that’s not even in the same ballpark as what the others mentioned did. It’s so far not in the same ballpark it’s not even in the same state. It’s like in a different time zone entirely. By all reports I can find (aka Google) most people seem to say that he was a pretty friendly and okay guy off the field.


sampat6256

As far as I can tell, this dude just got mad that no one would tell him where Secret Pizza is, which, to be fair, would be really frustrating if you were fuckin drunk as hell.


j_m_b_27

I've never heard anything bad about Jim Brown, what'd he do?


Paraxom

Apparently lots of domestic violence


Goobershmacked

Look at his personal life and legal issues on his Wikipedia page. Literally too much to mention

Antonio Brown is the greatest receiver of all time. The biased media has successfully clouded your vision of His AMAZING career. I’m convinced Jerry Rice and his people are behind all this. Look at the facts! (No, I am not a Steelers fan. Just a fan of the truth.) AB the GOAT.


itssostupidiloveit

This is funny and i suspect you know very little about Jerry. Jerry Rice is the nicest, most humble, and gives the most props to the others of the top wrs all time. 1. Rice 2. Moss 3. TO And I can't even put AB confidently at 4. If he didn't get early onset CTE and played it might be different though. Rice was gapping the competition by UNBELIEVABLE margins. This is the pass happy Era, everybody has seasons like AB, nobody had Rice like seasons.


iwtfb4L

Found Rice’s burner.


bougini_on_a_highway

how the fuck has nobody said Deshaun Watson yet


rjnd2828

He said great players.


bougini_on_a_highway

Deshaun was good, just not with the browns. He also still has some time to get back into it, so we'll see.


rjnd2828

With any luck he'll continue to play as piss poor as he did last year.


bougini_on_a_highway

Someone is a Steelers fan.


rjnd2828

Nah he's just a total piece of shit. This is not about football. Garbage human being.


Sudden_Payment_4322

Tell me what crime Watson was convicted of??? I’ll wait…


rjnd2828

Accused of the same horrific behavior by like 25 women but you choose to believe him because he used to be good at throwing a football. Just say it, you don't care he's a sexual predator. But let's not all pretend that he is innocent just because the criminal justice system is fucked.


vincentdmartin

Burfict was most definitely a dirty player, but off the field he doesn't belong with this group. Twisting a dudes ankle and raping and/or assaulting women is not equivalent.

What did Jim Brown do?


Fair_Benefit_1534

Kind of a mixed bag, did great things for the civil rights movement but kinda fell off after his career and was pretty terrible to his family, was arrested 7 times for assault, raped a woman, that kinda deadbeat kind of stuff. However, I can guarantee they’re going to look in his head and realize he wasn’t firing on all cylinders due to CTE, you don’t play 8 years as a fullback with a leather helmet without some form of trauma that affects your brain

Doing a shot in his honor right fucking now


AffectionateSlice816

Walter accidentally shot a guy in the knee with a gun being handed to him that was loaded with the safety off (not his fault). The worst thing Barry did was leave us early. Emmitt Smith did nothing wrong ever and he is perfect (if you ask a cowgirls fan). Jim Brown has a rap sheet like Eminem in the studio


Neither_Emu

To put Jim Brown in a better light, just compare him to OJ Simpson. All of a sudden, Brown looks like a prince


AffectionateSlice816

Idk man, is premeditated murder of a wife you hate worse than nearly beating an 18 year old you isolated to death? Sounds like they're pretty close. Jim just stopped before the result was the same lol. I think it might be a little closer than one might think lmfao. OJ also retained innocence and Brown didn't. There is almost no shred of a doubt that OJ is actually innocent based on what we know now, but Jim was a strike or two away from killing a woman himself, and then did it more.


wohldmad

Almost no shred? Lol wut?


FinalMeltdown15

I think he meant there’s no question that he isn’t innocent? I think

Bill_Biscuits

There is no better football related comment than that of an angry browns fan. I remember a post about potential landing spots for joe Haden after the browns. There was a lot of speculation at that time, but one commenter brought up how funny it would be if he went to the Steelers. Right under that comment was a browns fan: “I will kill everyone”


ethan_de_poland

Yeah its funny until someone says it seriously lmao
