"I hear people say athletes should stop using drugs because they're role models. These people are naive about drugs. A guy strung out on cocaine cares about seting an example for kids? He cares about stuffing his nose with cocaine . Period."
             This excerpt pretty much sums up the type of person Jim Brown is. He is a staight foward, serious, intimidating person. This excerpt is saying why would a person on drugs care about setting an example for kids since all he or she could think about is their next high. I chose this excerpt, because it shows all the previously mentioned characteristics of Jim Brown. This book is an autobiography, so Jim Brown wrote this book. He had the help of Steve Delsohn.He covers his outstanding football career at Syracuse University. He is also able to give coverage of his outstanding career as a professional football player. He covers the numerous women who have been a part of his life, and he also discusses the football coaches that he dealt with during his football career. Brown also openly discusses his role in many social issues of the time. These are some of the things that are discussed in the book.
             This book is written in the first person point of view. Jim Brown is telling eyewitness accounts from his much heralded life. He tells a lot of private and personal things that went on in his life. The setting of the book varies tremendously. It goes from his childhood, to his NFL career, to his life after the NFL. Most of the book is told from the late 1960's to
             the late 1980's in Cleveland, and at his mansion in L.A. It is also told from the various sets where he was shooting one of his many movies. The tone of the book is very serious. You can tell that Jim Brown is a serious person, and he means what he says. Sometimes the tone gets a little aggressive when he is describing some things with curse words. He gets his point across really well when he does that...
