No, but Gale Sayers actually did die today. He was a legend.
RIP to the Kansas Comet.

I watched Gayle Sayers play, I would not think of Kevin Faulk style of running is like Gayle.
The LSU player that was like Gayle was Doc Fenton, who like Gayle may run 30 yards to gain 3-4 yards.

Gayle Sayers was a smooth graceful runner for Chicago
He was also good friends with. Brian Piccolo. Inspiring movie was made called the Brian Piccolo story.

If you don't tear up watching that movie, than you're probably dead. Great movie.

Richard Condon said he has only cried twice in his life. When he watched Brian’s Song and when ET’s finger lit up.

I tried to watch it, but I got seasick because every play switched to multiple different angles mid play, with similar dramatic changes in the volume of the announcer's call. Plus, half the time, his whole body was not even on the screen.
So happy to have him back in BR

Kevin Faulk's name should be the next one to go up in the Ring of Honor in Tiger Stadium.

Despite the fondly remembered movie that was spawned by their friendship, Gale Sayers and Brian Piccolo weren’t exactly close during their early years as Chicago Bears teammates in the 1960s. “My first two years, he wasn’t fun to be around,” Sayers, the Pro Football Hall of Famer who died Wednesday at age 77, said in 2001. “He would tick you off because he always had a joke. It wasn’t my nature to be that way, so I guess I didn’t like it at first.” “One guy I wasn’t impressed with — personality-wise — was the Kansas Comet, Gale Sayers,” Piccolo is quoted as saying in “Brian Piccolo: A Short Season,” a biography by Jeannie Morris. “What an arrogant son of a b----. I didn’t see him speak to a soul the whole week we were together.”
Truth be told, Sayers and Piccolo were close during their time together on the Bears — they were the first interracial roommates in NFL history — but not best friends. Piccolo was closer with Ralph Kurek, another running back. Piccolo’s wife, Joy Piccolo O’Connell, said her husband’s friendship with Sayers was “a small part of Brian’s life.”
