The other great Jim Brown of our time was Syracuse University football great of the same name.

I saw him play lacrosse against alma mater Hobart College, then one of the premier lacrosse schools in America --- and still pretty well-ranked now as the sport has gained in popularity.

Jim Brown played mid-fielder for Syracuse U.

The Hobart stick-men were bounced hither and yon as the fleet, muscular Brown worked his magic.

Brown later became and actor and was in some trouble.

Like most people.
