CLEVELAND, Ohio – With an episode full of people saying he's the greatest of all time, you wonder why it took NFL Network until season six of "A Football Life" to get to Jim Brown.
But the wait ends after the Browns-Ravens Thursday Night Football Game, when Brown's hour-long episode of the documentary series premieres at midnight on NFL Network. The episode will be shown again at 9 p.m. on Friday.
It has been an eventful year for Brown, who turned 80, played a symbolic role in the Cavaliers' championship parade, and had his statue unveiled outside FirstEnergy Stadium.
