Pic of the Day: “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. 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.” (50th Anniversary)
