RIP Gale Sayers

Injuries cut short a HOF career... many thought him to be the greatest RB of all time.

"Brian's Song" was just on TV Sunday night. Imagine the numbers he might have ended his career with if he had today's medical advancements. For 5 of his 7 seasons, he may have been the greatest ever!! I can remember as a kid being in awe of watching him elude tacklers. No one did it better.

I was fortunate to meet Gayle at the Fiesta Bowl breakfast in 1997. He gave a great speech on living with purpose. It is so hard to see some of the greats staring to pass away.

Ah...was it the January 1997 Fiesta Bowl or the December 1997 Fiesta Bowl?

I stand corrected, it was the 1999 Fiesta Bowl for the 1998 BCS Championship.

My Dad talked about him, up until the day he died. "Kansas Comet could do it all"... If you have not seen BRIAN'S SONG. You really need to.
