David Huddleston: Ed McCaskey

Quotes 

• Ed McCaskey : This is 1965 and we'd like the Bears to room together according to position, without any regard to race. So, we'd like you and Brian Piccolo to room together.

  Gale Sayers : That's all? That's what this is about?

  J.C. Caroline : Is that all?

  Gale Sayers : Yeah - I - you had me worried. I thought it was something really...

  J.C. Caroline : Say, this is something really. Man, you're talkin' about a white man and a black man roomin' together on team that's never been done before. And you're gonna be called a "Tom" by some blacks and "uppity nigger" by some whites. And when we go on the road, man, I'm talkin' about we goin' to Atlanta, Houston, Miami, New Orleans. It ain't gonna be no better in Detroit or Minnesota or San Francisco or any other town we play in. You gonna rock the boat, Sayers. And there's people out there already that's seasick.
