Gale Sayers has died

I know many of you younger guys are just vaguely familiar with him. Do yourselves a favor if you have time and pull up some of his old clips. If ever a running back could be described as poetry in motion it was Gale Sayers. One of my all time favorites and one of the all time greats. R.I.P. Mr. Sayers.

As smooth as I ever saw,

Hell of a six-man tag team with Sayers, Laurinaitis, and Ginsburg.**

My dad always said Gale Sayers and Jim Brown were the greatest running backs ever but that Sayers was the most naturally gifted football player he had seen. Hard to argue when you watch some of those highlights.
