First of all, are you surprised to learn Jim Brown isn't a big fan of bringing No. 44 back for Syracuse Orange football?
I'm certainly not. He was noticeably absent during the dedication ceremony where it was announced that 44 is "back." No one seemed to want to mention his feelings on the matter other than to imply that he endorsed it. And while the previously-announced Committee To Bestow 44 included both Jim Brown and Floyd Little, it was made clear that Brown was no longer a given.
