Right there with Jim Brown when you're talking about the greatest back of all time. RIP.

R.I.P. Another great RB football player dies and another piece of NFL history leaves more anonymity
throughout today’s pro football. Where are those stars of tomorrow?

I totally agree!
Growing up in Kansas, how could a kid not emulate "The Kansas Comet"...

Sayers had Jimmy Browns strength and Barry Sanders speed and lateral movement, long before Barry was shitting in diapers....

One thing no one can forget about Gale Sayers, other than his phenomenal running ability, was the Fugly hit to his left knee. For a lack of puke bags, I will not post a picture of that hit....
