NFL: Good Morning Football

Welcome to a very special edition of NFL Total Access, the podcast that quite honestly, we wish we didn't have to share. I'm your host, NFL Network senior writer Andrew Levy, and today we meet at the crossroads of sadness and celebration to mark the passing, but also to honor the life of pro football Hall of Famer Jim Brown. On this show, we will hear from NFL stars who have been posting their tributes to a man many believe is the one true goat. Bob Costas will share his thoughts on Jim Brown, the legend Fellow Hall of Famer Dick Butkus knew Jim Brown, the player, and discovered in his very first meeting with Jim Brown, the player that if you're going to try and tackle this guy, you better have two things a plan and a lot of help. That is a story you have to hear. We'll also hear from those who knew Jim Brown, the activist, and who believe this is a man whose greatest accomplishments came long after he hung up his cleats.
