    How the hell does an NFL writer need to be told that Brown has to at least be in the top 3?

    Brown was OK, but he was no Eric Dickerson.

    What many don't know is that Brown was single- handedly responsible for a change in LAX rules because he was too dominant.

    LAX? Is that airport rules? I think that was O.J. Simpson.

    You are thinking of the rule that you can no longer run through airports.

    Wow, that's incredible. If only someone had mentioned that earlier in the thread.

    I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess Ace was being facetious. He usually is.

    Brings to mind Richard Pryor's hilarious bit on being friends with Jim Brown ... the rubber brick thing. Funny as all get out.

    Lacrosse is so regional. If I did not spend time in Upstate NY, I would have no idea that LAX was short for lacrosse.

    I'm sure there are some common NASCAR terms I have no idea what the heck they mean.

    I still have no idea how they score curling.
