reesebobby 5,662 Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 The Kansas Comet. One of the best athletes of all time and seemingly a good dude. Would be interesting to know how his career would have been without injury. oldtimer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't know what he did in his free time. The guy was from Kansas after all, which is fully populated with murderers and horse thieves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qnet 1,150 Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 I only know about him from old highlights. He seemed like an exceptional athlete before his time. I only wish he would have chosen the Chiefs over the Bears, but the AFL wasn't a popular league back then. RIP oldtimer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer 8,686 Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Dave Wannstedt said yesterday that in Chi town it is still debated who the best athlete in Chi towns history is between MJ or G-Sayers?. Said he most certainly would be on the Chi Town Sports Mt Rushmore. Kinda hard to be believe and maybe Hyperbole but it certainly shows the town's respect for the man.
