Hey Conor, how about we get back to NFL football, ok? We have a forum for this covid stuff.

Ever notice the Browns have had some running backs?

Right now the best combo in the league in Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt,

The roots to the tree big Marion Motley he was bigger than some d linemen in his day, a career average of over 5 yards a carry. Then here came Jim Brown and Bobby Mitchell, the classic Thunder and Lightning, they both averaged over 5 yards a carry. Then Mitchell left for the Redskins and Brown retired in 68, in 69 here came punt returner Leroy Kelly to have his Hall of Fame career just like Motley, Brown and Mitchell (more about his WR days as a Redskin).

Can;t forget that Ernest Byner & Kevin Mack duo, both having a 1000 yard season together. Now add...

Mike Pruitt
Greg Pruitt
Eric Metcalf

Now bad!

Growing up in NE Ohio I was always fascinated by the Pruitt "brothers" who were in fact not brothers! Blew my 9 year old mind. They even wore mirror numbers. I was sure for years they were brothers.

Brown retired after the 1965 season - not 1968, and Kelly started in the NFL in 1964 - played with Brown for one year.

I thought they were cousins, but as we know not related at all. Mike more about power, Greg a scat back as ya know.

I knew that, yep,,,DUH!

Brown had 9 pro bowl seasons then here came Kelly with his 6, they didn't miss a beat. Yep, Kelly returned punts for a season before taking over.

Have read he was a 9.5 cat while at Morgan State, but have never seen anything to back that up/

Only place I post where I don't have to explain a....9.5

Best AFC team right now?

Best AFC team right now?

Tennessee, right now.

[scottmitchell74]

Tennessee, right now.

Very sorry to see Henry on the shelf, but very happy to see my favorite 21st century RB Peterson getting carries. He was rusty. Hopefully next week he can knock the rust off.

Peterson and Henry: two guys that show the fault with "stacking the box" 8,9,10 men at the line. If they get through...it's just green in front and noone can catch them.

Aaron Rodgers is finally coming to his senses and has decided that it's best that he just shut up and play football.

Little late for that.... a reputation in ruins...

Maybe, maybe not . . .

But in the end, I have to stay true to who I am and what I’m about and I stand behind the things that I said.

[jazzcyclist]

I don't know why Rodgers didn't just plead the 5th from the beginning like many athletes have done without controversy. If it worked for Lebron James certainly it would worked for Rodgers.

[Conor Dary]

Because he is a narcissistic egomaniac....

James has shown he cares about others....something completely alien to Rodgers.
