R.I.P. Gale Sayers

[Water Rat]

Just saw that he passed away at age 77. Youngest to be elected into the Hall of Fame. Only played 7 years (all with the Bears). Anyone remember “Brian’s Song “ ?

RIP Gale, I got to meet Gale Sayers at the Shotshow in Atlanta the mid 80s, he was representing a company (Sawyer) marketing an insect-snake bite extractor, those things work great, I have used it several times for bee stings and still have it in my medicine cabinet.

As for Gale Sayers you could not meet a nicer guy and I was awestruck to say the least, talk about nifty moves!
