He was born on [St. Simons Island, Georgia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Brown), and moved to Manhasset, New York, at the age of eight. As far as I know, he never lived in Canton.

Never mind. I was thinking of Alan Page - there was a SportsCentury bit about how he was harrassed in an IHOP or somesuch, and I thought it was about Brown.

Crystal Palace?

CRSP1 (Association football): There’s over 90 teams in the English Premiership, Championship and Divisions 1 and 2. Yet, these teams collectively only use 23 endings in their club names (United, City, etc.). Name them.

Crystal Palace is correct.

CSRP1: Albion, Argyle, Rovers, Wanderers, (Football) Club, United, City, Forest, Athletic (Club), Town, Wednesday, Rangers\*, Harriers, Hotspur… and I’m out. That’s 14.

\*I think Bromsgrove are the Rangers, but I don’t know if they’re even in D2 anymore. Also, they might just be the Rovers.
