The screenplay for the heartfelt, five-time Emmy Award–winning movie
Brian’s Song
about two Chicago Bears players who developed an unlikely, lifelong friendship before an untimely tragedy ripped them apart
Two men. One named Gale Sayers, the other Brian Piccolo. They came from different parts of the country. They competed fiercely for the same job. One liked to talk; the other was shy. One was white; the other black. They made history as the first interracial roommates in the history of the NFL.
This is the story of how they came to know each other, fight each other, and help each other. . . .
