Gale Sayers RIP


Recommended Posts

Sorry he's gone. 

 

In my mind, he was by some measures the greatest.  The guy put together runs that were absolute things of beauty.  Everyone else was running, he was gliding.  

 

RIP

Don’t recall anyone who ran like him. 

Exactly.

Sayers was one of the most electric, elusive backs of all time.  His moves were unmatched.  From my time, only Barry Sanders and OJ were even close.  Also, when I lived in Chicago, I dated a girl who lived in the same condo building as Sayers.  We'd see him around from time to time.  He was very friendly and humble.  You wouldn't know he was a celebrity if someone didn't tell you who he was.

Gayle Sayers - by all accounts, you were a wonderful man and outstanding football player.

 

When I was a kid, I remember watching Brian's Song and loved the relationship that Gayle and Brian Piccolo had.  They are now back together again.  RIP Gayle.
