THIS DAY IN SPORTS HISTORY- JUNE 18

"The Hands of Time"

In June of 1970, Brian Piccolo, halfback and fullback with the Chicago Bears from 1966-69, lost his life to cancer. Brian's Song is a made-for-TV movie recounting the final years of his life shared with his friend and roommate Gale Sayers.

The adaption of Sayers' book, I Am Third, strikes every emotional chord with a moving musical score and fine performances  by James Caan as Piccolo and Billy Dee Williams as Sayers.
