*Brian's Song (2001)
6.6 Rating 90 min Brian and Gale aren't friends in the beginning; in fact they are rivals. Brian, during their first season together with pro football's Chicago Bears is always one-upped by Gale, never being in the spotlight. After the season, Brian pledges to outplay Gale and take his position on the team. During their second season, Gale is still the Bears' starting running back. After he is injured during a game and loses hope of ever playing again, Brian personally takes charge of his rehabilitation on the basis that if Gale gives up and Brian rises to the top, he would have made it only on a chance and not by his own prowess. The two bond during this time, soon becoming good friends and roommates. Brian is diagnosed with cancer. The treatments and radiation therapy only do so much and every time it seems as if everything is getting better the cancer shows up again, someplace else. Brian dies from the disease at age 26. During this time, Gale stays by his side.
