One of the best DBs of all time. The close-up of his eyes on a Super Bowl pick six off Fran Tarkenton is classic....

One of my favorites. I have a baseball signed by Willie and Denny McLain, 1968 WS Champs. Just need to add Al Kaline and Mickey Lolich.

I have to admit this board is one interesting place, and no one can say there is not a diverse group here.

In this modern era of college football Brown would have been a SEC/ACC product.

There’s no diversity in Utah. Unless you distinguish monogamous Mormons from polygamous Mormons.

You are wrong there, you have polygamous Mormons (less than 1%), non polygamous Mormons (up to 90% in Utah County and other areas), Jack Mormons, counted as members but do not practice at all, non church affiliation, church going non Mormon which I fall into. Quite a wide range in a very unique state.
