Paul Brown's college roomate

[Sled21]

Don't really want to engage in the drama and despair that I can figure are in the individual threads, but I thought this was interesting and something I did not know until today. So I'm watching the game with my father and he just casually drops it to me that my Grandfather and Paul Brown were roommates in college at Miami of Ohio. Small world. Now I just need to figure out how to work and angle as Mike Brown' father's college roommate's grandson to get tickets or swag or something.....

If they did you can count on Paul having filmed it for later study.

You sure it wasn't Paul Browne?

They would eat at the local McDowell's right off campus.

That's very cool. Did you have the conversation with your dad about why that has never come up before?

Mostly because the lines at the Burger Monarch were too long.

Grandpa Sled taught PB how to use the Tight End

In the immortal words of early internet..Pics or it didn't happen..

I heard Sled's grandpa really invented the 40 yard dash and the taxi squad and Paul stole his ideas

[grampahol]

What do Danny Glover, Willem Dafoe, Albert Brooks, Selina Gomez and myself all have in common? We were all born July 22, 1959..
That and 50 cents will buy you something worth 50 cents if you act right now because the price is going to go up.. We went to different schools together!

We weren't very close for a lot of years. I remember my Grandfather having signed pictures and memorabilia around the farmhouse from Roy Rogers and Dale Evans, because he was close with them, I just never heard him talk about P. Brown. He may have said something about it way back when I was young that I did not remember.
