Passed today @ 77.
And Billy Dee Williams is still kicking at 83.3. I am worst ever at dead or alive game. I easily would have guessed he had died 10 years ago.

The Kansas Comet. Never saw him live, but watching clips he was as exciting a runner as anybody ever, possibly with Barry Sanders, another Kansas guy. Just amazing to watch him in the open field.
"Brian's Song" was huge when it aired. Star Wars huge, everyone was talking about it.
Gayle Sayers has the best and smoothest change of direction I have ever watched. He could be running flat out in one direction and in a step be running at the same speed in another direction. Would be tacklers would be flying at him and he they flying by him.
Barry Sanders could change directions almost as quickly with his jump step but Sayers didn't need that little hop. He just went one way than another without breaking stride. It was surreal.
