	quote	I was interviewing George Halas and I asked him who is the greatest running back you ever saw And he said, 'That would be Red Grange' And I asked him if Grange was playing today, how many yards do you think he'd gain And he said, 'About 750, maybe 800 yards' And I said, 'Well, 800 yards is just okay' He sat up in his chair and he said, 'Son, you must remember one thing Red Grange is 75 years old'
