Book Reviews of I Am Third (TV tie-in): The Inspiration for Brian's Song

Book Review: 'the cement pigeon nest...'
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a great sports history as well as a great historical account of Black Omaha, NE in the 50's and 60's. I also grew up on the 'Near North Side' and attended Omaha Central High School. Gale's recollections are accurate and tell many stories that are otherwise untold. Friendships, hardships and places that no longer exist, except in our collective memories...I will always be grateful that this aspect of my upbringing has been preserved this way.

Although I'm 13 years younger than Gale, I remember when we would play tackle football in both the schoolyard of Lothrop Grade School and Knoutze Park, everybody wanted to be Gale when they ran with the ball, we all carried the ball like a loaf of bread, we all tried to shake the defender the way he did...EVERYBODY. In the locker room at Central, there was a framed poster of him, no name, just 'All-Metro, All-State, All-American, All-Pro', with the likes of backs like Calvin Jones, Michael Carter, James Tolbert and Ahman Green coming later, there's no wonder Central is refered to as 'Half-Back High'.

Summary of I Am Third (TV tie-in): The Inspiration for Brian's Song

I Am Third is the memoir of Gale Sayers, one of the best running backs in the history of the NCAA and pro football. It is also the story of his friendship with Brian Piccolo. Known also as a community leader and great friend to all, Sayers's credo is, "The Lord is first, my friends are second, and I am third."
