It appears Brian's Song is a movie I thought I could have given a recap of but would have been way off base.

Curious where you were off.
I grew up a little to late to see him play, but his NFL Films highlight reel was incredible. But I distinctly remember the movie when it must've been re-run when I was 5 or 6. Cried myself to sleep that night.

First movie I remember seeing my father tear up from watching. Billy D killed it.

Nobody dies in a more random order than Bears RBs. Look out (obscure name of your choosing)!

I knew Sayers was featured in it but I thought he was the one who died and Brian was his friend who didn't and told the story.

I remember hearing that watching Brian's Song is the only time it's acceptable for a man to cry.

Is that the moment you realize Kevin Costner would give up his entire acting career to be a quad-A baseball player but isn't even convincing enough for the movie?

SO pretty much when you want to. That's how it works for me. I cry at everything anymore. Fucking Ted Lasso had me tearing up.

And, Gale Sayers has some ridiculous runs and kickoff returns. He was Barry Sanders before Barry Sanders.
