Being from Chicago I am thankful for seeing Gale and Dick Butkus play in their prime.
Also, the 1983 Bears.

Class act and best pure running back in NFL history, IMHO.

Gale Sayers — one of the best NFL highlight films of all time. What an incredible ball carrier he was. Beauty in motion.
To: ConservativeStatement
He was a classy guy and a very talented athlete. I’m sorry to see him go.....

Covid. /sarc. Just guessing but covid seems in vogue for all reason of death lately.

The 1983 Bears weren’t bad if you like .500 football but the ‘85 team won the super bowl.
To: ConservativeStatement
Awwww. What a nice guy and Chicago icon! Rest in peace, Mr Sayers. Your CLASS and great attitude is sorely lacking in today’s NFL.

There is a past link on FR that mentioned dementia. Wonder if the family will go for an autopsy? The NFL Players Association would be interested, I'm sure.
Imagine American Football WITHOUT helmets (or minimal ones. Different sport entirely!
