Jim Brown Speaks Out
On October 7th, 1984, Walter Payton passed Jim Brown and became the NFL's all-time leading rusher. Here's what Jim Brown has to say on the matter:
"Look here, first of all Jim Brown don’t like NO man taking nothing from Jim Brown. Motherfucker steals a hubcap from Jim Brown, Jim Brown will FIND that motherfucker, you hear?
Second of all, Jim Brown don’t like no sissy-type nicknames like Sweetness. What the fuck is that shit? Jim Brown thinks a nickname should scare motherfuckers and make them shit themselves, like “Scrotum Squasher” or “Intestine Snorter” or “Old Eats Your Spleen in Front of Your Face.” Or my nickname, which is “Jim Brown.”
But all that said, I’m cool with Walter. On the Jim Brown scale of badass-osity, in which Franco Harris is a one and Jim Brown is an eleven, Walter was a 7.6. And that’s really saying something, when you consider the fact that no man besides Jim Brown is above an eight.
Emmitt Smith, on the other hand – fuck that runt. Jim Brown played 118 total games in his majestic career. Emmitt Smith played 226. You know how many yards Jim Brown would have had if he’d played that many games. I’ll tell you how many. Approximately 78,000 yards."

Whoa there. Where's Earl Campbell rank then? Most punishing running back I've ever seen. That guy left his legs out there on the field fo' real.
"Jim Brown would like to point out that Jim Brown was talking about yards. When it comes to pure badassitude, Earl Campbell is a 7.9. Nobody in football history has a higher Jim Brown rating than a 7.9 except for Sam Huff, who is an 8. And, of course, Jim Brown, who remains an eleven, which for Jim Brown, let's face it, is a conservative number."
