mjp28 Posted May 29, 2020 Report Share Posted May 29, 2020 G. Tom Gibson; Forrest Grigg......I assume that you mean Forrest Gregg YES Tom Gibson maybe, Tom Gipson sounds like some dweeb pencil pusher NO. And I see that retirement is agreeing with you, you have entirely too much time on your hands. And the real Forrest Gregg below no pencil pusher.

And I see that retirement is agreeing with you, you have entirely too much time on your hands. And the real Forrest Gregg below no pencil pusher. Tom Gibson is the actor who played on Dharma and Greg, and Criminal Intent. And also, yes, a Browns player. So, I give you that one. And....you would assume wrong. Forrest "Chubby" Grigg.....was a member of the Cleveland Browns. But also kind of a sad story. To be honest, I had not heard of him as a member of the Browns until I did this research. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chubby_Grigg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gipper Posted May 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2020 Word on a few of the guys whose names have been given: I already explained about Forrest Grigg...yes a Brown. Forrest Gregg....was a former Browns HC, but not player Jim Rome...not a Brown. Jerry Rhome, however was. Fred Rogers....not a Brown. Don Rogers, Shaun Rogers, were. Tommy James was a Brown. ...but he came without the Shondells. Andrew Jackson was not. But we did have a guy named Alfred Jackson. Jim Brown, Montrel/Montreal Meander, John Hughes, and Karim (not Kareem) Abdul-Jabbar were Browns James Brown was a Browns player...( a different James Brown besides Jim Brown) .and the Godfather of Soul. There are still like over 30 names left to answer up there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some names may be familiar in other contexts. You hve to determine if there was also a Brown by that name. Here you go I will lump them by the Alphabet. Answers. Here we go with each name. -------------------- A. Chet Atkins; No....There was a Chet Adams, and a Doug Atkins, but Chet Atkins remains the rockabilly artist of the 50s. Karim Abdul-Jabbar; Yes, not to be confused with Kareem. B. Jim Black; Jim Brown; James Brown; ; John Brown; ALL of the above were players for the Brown; as well as being Godfathers of Soul, and Harper's Ferry Raiders C. Cameron Jordan; NO....but Jordan Cameron was a Browns player Ka-ren Carpenter; NO....but Ken Carpenter was George Cherokee; Yes, Browns player Elvince Costello....Yes, sort of. Vince Costello was....and if you consider him THE Vince Costello, but say it is Spanish, he is El Vince Costello....of course, not to be confused with Elvis Costello. F. Fabiano; Yes, but I don't think he went by just one name like the similarly named male model Fabio. He was Anthony Fabiano Fred Foggie; Henry Ford; Both of these were Browns players.....as well as one being an auto mogul. David Frost...No, but there was a Derrick Frost.....but as far as I know, Derrick Frost did not do a famous interview of Richard Nixon. G. Tom Gibson; Forrest Grigg Yes, both of these were Browns players.....but do not confuse the first with the Criminal Minds actor...or me. And don't confuse the latter with the Packer/Browns-Bengals former coach Forrest Gregg. H. Hamlett; Yes, there was a Browns player named Hamlett (Hamlet)... first name Robert. Not to be confused with that Danish guy. John Hughes.....Yes a Browns player. But not to be confused with the Director of the likes of Ferris Beuhler, Breakfast Club, St. Elmo's Fire; Sixteen Candles etc. J. Andrew Jackson; No....but we did have an Alfred Jackson Dick Jacobs; No....but we did have a Dave Jacobs (and fyi...former Browns owner Dick Jacobs had a brother named Dave) Tommy James; Yes, a Browns player, as well as the Crystal Blue Persuasion singer. Tom Joad; NO, not a Browns player....but we did have a Tim Goad.....not to be confused with the Grapes of Wrath/Springsteen character. George Jones; Tom Jones.....YES, both Browns players as well as being singer types. K. Don King; Yes, Browns player, but not to be confused with boxing promotor "Only in America" guy. James Kirk; No....closest we came to this was Captain Kirksey Fred Kruger....NO.....closest we came was Paul Kruger L. Bert Lahr; No...no Cowardly Lion actors.....but we did have Warren Lahr. Clubber Lang. Well, maybe, sorta. Not the Mr. T character....but we did have defensive lineman Kenard Lang....and at times I know he was referred to as Clubber (in homage to the Rocky character) M. Marcel Marceau; NO, no mimes....but we did have a Mel Maceau Willie Hays Mays; No, nor a Willie Mays Hays......but we did have David Mays Montreal Meander; Yes, well, Montrel Meander that is. Eddie Murphy; No...but we did have a Freddie Murphy Michael Myers.....YES, a Browns player, not a psycho killer, nor a SNL comedian N. Ozzie Nelson...No, but we did have Ozzie Newsome. R. Jim Rome; No, but we did have Jerry Rhome Fred Rogers....NO, but we did have Don and Shaun Rogers S. Nick Saban; NO....but he was a Browns asst. coach...and a relative of his Lou Saban, did play for the Browns (he was also Bill coach) Fred Sanford; No, no junk dealers.....but we did have Lucious and Brian Sanford...hopefully they were not junk dealers. Stan Sheriff; Dick Shiner; Yes, both of these were Browns players. T. Zack Taylor; No, no ex-President.... Tanya Tucker....No, but we did have Travis Tucker. (good name for CW singer) V. Dick Vitale....No, but we did have a Dan Vitale. (don't know if they were related) W. Apollo Creed aka Carl Weathers; NO....but, we did have Curtis Weathers.....who actually was Carl Weathers real life brother Bob White; Thomas (Woodrow) Wilson; Wil(bur) Wright. Yes....we had players with all three of these names. FYI, President Woodrow Wilson's first name was Thomas...why he went by Woodrow...or why he would is beyond me. And Willie Wright is currently on the Browns roster.....though I doubt his full first name is Wilbur. I don't even know if, say, William is his real first name. He goes by Willie always.
