Brian's Song • 1971

Gale Sayers:

[accepting the George S. Halas award]
I'd like to say a few words about a guy I know, a friend of mine. His name is Brian Piccolo. And he has the heart of a giant, and that rare form of courage which allows him to kid himself and his opponent: cancer. He has a mental attitude which makes me proud to have a friend who spells out 'courage' - 24 hours a day, every day of his life. Now, you flatter me - by giving me this award. But I say to you here now - Brian Piccolo is the man of courage who should receive the George S. Halas award. It is mine tonight - and Brian Piccolo's tomorrow. [Theme "Brian's Song" begins to play] Gale Sayers:
I love Brian Piccolo. And I'd like all of you to love him too. And tonight, hit your knees, please ask God to love him
