The "Kansas Comet" has passed away

Former Bears running back Gale Sayers, the “Kansas Comet” whose dazzling moves and breakaway speed made him the most dangerous runner in football in the 1960s and earned him Hall of Fame honors despite playing in just 68 games because of injuries, has died. He was 77. He had been diagnosed with dementia in 2012, his wife Ardythe announced in 2017.

I remember when Walter Payton died in 1999. Shortly after that, the Bears blocked a field goal and beat the Packers at the last minute. I'd like to think Walter had something to do with that. Hopefully Gale will help the Bears beat the Falcons this Sunday.

He's old though, he also said Oscar Robertson was better than Michael for a loooong time too before changing his tune in the late 90's.

A democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. And that's why the USA is a constitutional republic and not a democracy.

RE: Oscar Robertson, that's not a difficult position to support if you look at the stats. Your dad isn't dumb.
