Sad shit here boys. Could have been the greatest if not for that terrible knee injury.

When Gale Sayers is introduced along with 200 other former players at the Bears100 Celebration on Friday in Rosemont, his ovation is likely to be the loudest and longest.
In fact, it might the loudest and longest he has heard in his 76 years. It would be fitting.
Sayers was a once-in-a-century football player. As George Halas once said, “His like will never be seen again.”
But this world has a way of humbling the most special among us.
Sayers has severe dementia. He doesn’t talk much anymore. He is often without expression.
