BE LIKE JIM?: Football legend and social activist Jim Brown took a hard swipe at Tiger Woods in the recent "Real Sports" on HBO. Brown said Woods is a "monster competitor" on the course, but has been "terrible" as a social contributor off of it.
Brown's problem is that he is closed-minded. If people don't think and act like him, then they're in the wrong. But it's Brown who is wrong when he says that Tiger's only social contribution is "teaching kids to play golf." Tiger's foundation has helped thousands of kids outside the realm of his sport. Brown does, however, bring up a good question: Does Tiger do enough? Ultimately that's for Woods to determine, not Brown.

““Brown is irrelevant and only wants to ride on Tiger's coattails though Brown is not even half the man Tiger is. J.B. is a man who threw his 'hos' down the hill off his Hollywood home deck when he was 'done' with them. Since he cannot surpass Wilt Chamberlain's record, this pathetic human can only tear down others to raise his social 'status'.””
