MrWonderful 480 Posted May 21, 2023 On 09/02/2023 at 19:26, MrWonderful said: Jim Brown is in attendance at the NFL Honors show, and he looks extremely, extremely frail to me, and not super-aware of his surroundings, either. Emmitt Smith and Barry Sanders came on stage to announce that the running back of the year award will now be known as the Jim Brown Award. I don't think he makes 2025, and he'll be on my list next year if he makes it that far. My eyes didn't deceive me on this one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
