The Kevin Sheehan Show, here's Kevin.

0:10.0

I played nine years and I left at the age of 29 years old and I was MVP O'League.

0:22.9

And that's what I wanted to do.

0:37.1

The voice of Jim Brown, many believe the greatest football player in the history of the NFL. Jim Brown passed away today at the age of 87 years old.

0:43.4

Yeah, Jim Brown voted the greatest player in the history of the league by the sporting news,

0:49.4

by the New York Daily News, among others. On that countdown of the top 100 greatest players of all time that the

0:55.7

NFL Network did a few years ago, he finished second behind Jerry Rice. But nobody will debate,

in just 118 career games. That was the max that he could have played while under

2:06.1

contract to the Cleveland Browns. They only had 118 available games for him to play in, and he played

2:12.6

in all of them. He was 6'2, 235 pounds. Back then, he was the size of many linemen and certainly
