Jim Brown episode a big let down

“I really enjoy this podcast overall in part due its provocative nature and overall feel it is clearly 5 star. The most recent episode on Jim Brown, however, was a missed opportunity to balance Brown’s ‘complicated’ personal history, given the two chosen guests came across to me more as Jim Brown sympathizers, than portrayers of objectivity in balancing his history. I feel it would have been more balanced to have a female on the show, one that could help provide some added perspective to Brown’s ‘complexities’ related to his history of violence against women. In fairness, the hosts tried to bring the guests back to his long history of violence against women, but all they could do was admit that when confronted with Brown, they were unable to bring these issues up in direct conversation. Are these the people that are going to be the foremost experts on how we should think about Brown? While Bill Belichick may consider Jim Brown the greatest player in NFL history, why is this more important to the guests than Brown’s clear issues with women or anyone that confronted his masculinity? My take on Brown’s legacy is that he would have done so much more good if he would have confronted his own personal problems and become an advocate against domestic abuse in the NFL, prisons, etc. To not (at least) go to the next level in this discussion, your panel lost credibility with me.”

“This is by far the show, podcast, radio, or TV, I most look forward to each week. Smart and funny discussion of sports for sports fans who can't stand typical shouting in sports reporting. You will learn, be entertained, and laugh out loud (if you listen in the car by yourself).”Read full review »
