If you could ask Gale Sayers one question... (1 Viewer)

[Erin Go Bragh]

I have a chance to interview him tomorrow morning. Just thought I would pick the Shark Pool's brain for suggestions. I already have a list of questions I've prepared but it never hurts to brainstorm. Thanks in advance for any serious replies.

If I use your question, I'll post his answer.

"If you and **** Butkus were so great, why did Chicago suck while you were there?"

What was it like to be able to see 2 seconds into the future?

 

[Sweet Love]

If Brian Piccolo had a full career, what player today would you compare him to? Is there a comparison?

 

[Blackjacks]

Has there been a player in the last 2 decades that you would compare their skills and running style to yours?

Had you been healthy, what do you think you could have accomplished in the NFL?

Do you see yourself as a top 5 talent at the running back position of all time?

What was your best/worst skills for the NFL?

What did you think of everyone comparing Reggie Bush to you when he was coming out of college? (my favorite)

"do you have a strong urge to beat the living **** out of people who still ask you about Brian Piccolo?"

 

[Truman]

What did you think of everyone comparing Reggie Bush to you when he was coming out of college? (my favorite)

This.Could evolve into a discussion on thoughts on which backs he thinks play with the same style he did, what he thinks of Forte/CJ3/Slaton.

Please post audio/link when you're done.

What was it like growing up with a girl's name?

 

[Chase Stuart]

What did you think of splitting carries with so many other RBs? In your era the workhorse RB was few and far between, but it seems likely that had you been born 20 years later, you would have earned significantly more carries. Did you want more carries? Did you like being kept fresh?

This.

 

[Ditkaless Wonders]

What was the most painful thing Nitschke did to your sack on the bottom of a pile?

Which smell is more offensive, Butkus or Ditka?

Did Papa Bear ever call you by any derogatory or racists terms? Please list them.

Who of today's players is, in your view, the most clueless both as a ballplayer and as a man?

You have far more life experience outside the game than inside, what is the most valuable lesson yu have learned since leaving the game?

Who is your favorite musical artist?

Is it P?

If you were not in a committed relationship, and were a horny old drunk, which of the reporters around the game would you be most likely to ask for a kiss while being interviewed live, oh, and if the answer is Al Michaels please, just refuse to answer the question.

Did being a returner hinder your career in terms of taking extra hits from defenders?

 

[bcr8f]

Why did your former playmate Ditka give a touchdown carry to the Fridge instead of Walter Payton?

 

[3nOut]

What was it like growing up with a girl's name?

What was it like growing up with a name synonymous with a toilet?

 

[Erin Go Bragh]

Thanks for all the serious replies. I lost track of time and just missed asking about him having a girl's name.

If you don't want to hear about Brian Piccolo, don't listen.

I got the Reggie Bush question in.

First thing that popped into my head, too.
