The Jim Brown statue outside First energy stadium in Cleveland Ohio. The sculptor, Robert Deming, used photos and input from Jim Brown himself to create the statue. Deming focused on capturing Brown's determined and tough persona, even down to details like his helmet and shoes. Brown himself specified that he wanted the statue to convey his toughness and determination, rather than grace or victory.
A photo of Leatherman (1885), a mysterious but gentle vagabond who walked the same 365-mile route around Connecticut and New York dressed in all leather for decades. The Leatherman was one of the most enigmatic figures of 19th-century America. Known for his stoic presence and head-to-toe leather outfit, he became a familiar sight to towns across Connecticut and New York. From the 1850s until his death in 1889, he walked a precise 365-mile loop every 34 days, sleeping in caves and rock shelters and rarely speaking more than a few words. Locals came to respect and care for him, leaving food out along his route and even allowing him to sleep in barns or outbuildings during bad weather. Despite numerous attempts to learn more about his identity, he never revealed his name or origins. Some believed he was a Frenchman, possibly suffering from trauma or exile. Others speculated he was a penitent pilgrim. When he died in 1889, he was buried in Ossining, New York. To this day, no one truly knows who the Leatherman was, but his legend continues to captivate historians and wanderers alike.

Barry Sanders and Jim Brown.
