NFL channel is playing the It's a Football Life special featuring the pairing of Dick Butkus and Gayle Sayers on the Chicago Bears. Taken in picks 3 and 4 of the 1965 draft thanks to a trade with Pittsburgh for their 1st round pick, likely the greatest draft in NFL history. Yet neither ever played in a single playoff game in their career. Butkus is widely nominated as meanest player in football, but in reality he was a ball of fun enjoying every bit of life. An interviewer was going through a list of his most famous dirty plays and asked if he had spit on the hands of so and so center, he replied, "Nah, that's a lie, I spit on the ball". A great documentary.
