Former Raven Jason Brown now a farmer
http://russellstreetreport.com/rave-...ens-free-farm/
Awesome story. I had a chance to meet Brown at the Polar Bear Plunge in 2008. He seemed like a really nice guy in person. Now he's running a free farm where he donates the crops to charity. It's refreshing to see something like this with all the recent bad things going on with NFL players.

Re: Former Raven Jason Brown now a farmer
Great story! Thanks for sharing.
Everybody's talkin' at me; I don't hear a word they're saying; Only the echoes of my mind
I'm going where the sun keeps shining; Thru' the pouring rain; Going where the weather suits my clothes
Banking off of the North East winds; Sailing on a summer breeze; And skipping over the ocean like a stone

Re: Former Raven Jason Brown now a farmer
I was surprised when I received a text from Nestor the year Brown was up for a contract extension saying, "Ravens tell Brown he isn't in their future plans." I thought he was a good player and would be here for a while.

Brown wanted more money and jumped ship when Ozzie would not give it to him. I believe he would have been part of our starters on the offensive line for quite a long time had he not pulled this stunt as a very young player.
Birk help anchor the line after that and lead us to a Super Bowl, and you saw what Brown got while with the Rams.

Re: Former Raven Jason Brown now a farmer
I agree...he made his million$ playing football, now he's doing his real heart's desire and I admire him for it. I have a friend who had a fairly high executive position in a corporate firm. In his soul he wanted to be a social worker. He went back to school at night, got his MSW @ 55, retired from the corporate world, and makes a lot less money but is happy as a clam. I applaud both their decisions... Bc
