Talk:Jim Brown

message: To answer an earlier inquiry regarding Brown's incarceration: he has been arrested numerous times, for charges including domestic violence, battery, assault and even rape. In most cases he was either acquitted or the charges were dropped, though I do believe he did some jail time for vandalizing his wife's vehicle. He has a notoriously quick fuse.
Brown's numerous brushes with the law have somewhat tarnished his legacy here in NE Ohio.
* Update: here are a couple of links; hope these help.

thread_title:  Multiple arrests 

message: There were allegations made  about Jim Brown on the current docuseries  on A&E about Hugh Hefner and the Playboy mansion. The allegations basically described him as a predator and very violent toward the bunnies at the mansion. 2600:1702:38A0:2E30:D887:14BD:8F70:EC56 (talk) 20:27, 8 March 2022 (UTC)

thread_title:  It says he's one of the greatest running backs of all time. He's a Tailback, more specifically a Fullback. Not a running back.

message: As Brown was quite a multi-faceted character, we have the challenge of balancing our coverage of these different aspects.  To assist, I have added  to the templates at the top of this page.  This summarises the overall structure of the article and so may help. Andrew🐉(talk) 06:26, 20 May 2023 (UTC)

message: Barry Sanders posting on Twitter that "You can't underestimate the impact Jim Brown had on the NFL."  Should be "You can't overestimate the impact Jim Brown had on the NFL."  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:5C2:100:F210:ADEF:9DA5:FA55:ED06 (talk) 02:57, 23 May 2023 (UTC)

replies: text: He meant to say "overestimate". "Underestimate" is an insult.  Do the right thing and update it. 2601:5C2:100:F210:ADEF:9DA5:FA55:ED06 (talk) 23:46, 23 May 2023 (UTC)

thread_title:  One Night in Miami... 

message: I have made some entries on his film section with Fred Williamson. It seems very strange to me that given his impact in film that there's no mention of his work with Williamson. They did five films together. The first three also starred martial artist actor Jim Kelly. They were Three the Hard Way (1974), Take a Hard Ride (1975), One Down, Two to Go (1982), Original Gangstas (1996) and On the Edge (2002). Brown and Williamson also appeared in various tv shows incl. CHiPs, the "Roller Disco: Parts 1 & 2" etc.  Thanks Karl Twist (talk) 13:21, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  No Fred Williamson mention. How come??
