Bongo Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Thanks very much for posting. My dad is 87 and grew up where they did. He loves to talk about how big the kids were when they were born. He tells a story about working in a clothing store and their mom came in with the kids. She was carrying one of the younger ones and he asked her why she didn’t put the kid down to walk. She told him the kid was only a couple of weeks old. lol. I always loved that story. RIP 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaw66 Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 RIP, Dick. Good, good player. I love the story about his little brother, Ed. They were big Mo and little Mo. Ed started at fullback for the Browns for two or three years in the 50s, and he was really well liked by his teammates. When a rookie running back showed up in training camp in 1957, Ed's pals on the defense made sure they gave the rookie a few extra, hard shots, because they didn't want some rookie taking Ed's job. After a a couple of days, Ed's pals recognized that it really didn't matter how hard they hit Jim Brown, he wasn't going down. After that, they all were resigned to the fact that Brown would be the starter. Ed died a couple of years ago. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
