SO LONG, JIM BROWN...

You became the stuff of legend for the Cleveland Browns, enough to have made your way onto the big screen, as well as television.

For the former, you gave us Slaughter; Slaughter's Big Rip-Off; Black Gunn; The Slams; Three the Hard Way; One Down, Two to Go; Original Gangstas; I'm Gonna Git You, Sucka; Sucker Free City; I Escaped from Devil's Island; Rio Conchos; 100 Rifles; El Condor; Take a Hard Ride; Kid Vengeance; The Dirty Dozen; Small Soldiers; Dark of the Sun; Ice Station Zebra; ...tick...tick...tick...; Mars Attacks!; The Running Man; Riot; Pacific Inferno; Hammer, Slammer & Slade; L.A. Heat; Crack House; On The Edge; Twisted Justice; The Divine Enforcer; The Grasshopper; Kenner; Animal; Fingers; Draft Day; He Got Game; Any Given Sunday; and New Jersey Turnpikes.

For the small screen, there's I Spy; Knight Rider; T.J. Hooker; The A-Team; The Split; Police Story; ChiPs; Lady Blue; and Cover Up. 

Throughout it all, you remained the epitome of virility, tough but cool, frank yet humble. There are so few of your exceptional caliber left, Mr. Brown, and so few who could ever hope to match your powerhouse legacy.
