I think we met playing tennis and he was agile as a cat and quick. I knew nothing about his football career but we were great friends. I was writing songs and performing around Charlotte NC and my partner Brenda Ferrell was George's girlfriend. She was a great singer and George would go as our roadie to all our shows. I remember he was writing a book called "Never Before Seen Again" but l never saw or read it. I am hoping if someone reads this they may have a copy of his book??

Unfortunately, constraints leave me little time to explore the things you mention. I agree that what happened to Sauer was indeed sad and was likely conflicted by the mysterious troubles within him - perhaps, depression, family issues. Maybe someday someone will crack his story, but he was a man who kept to himself. Apparently even his own co-workers toward the end of his working life didn't know he was a football star until he went to a reunion at the Meadowlands for the '68 team.

With regard to my comment (Frank Schulz) the following edits need to be made: A space after blog (first sentence) is needed. A space after people (particular is also needed. and then my sentence "hence, they become daemons" needs to be completely deleted (it is repeated).Frankschulz@verizon.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-244286881825228940.post-53905095021967476102013-08-18T15:18:08.870-07:002013-08-18T15:18:08.870-07:00A great blog.George Sauer was my favorite Jet.

It is something I am not proud of - but at the time I was a young fan who cared only for the sport. I am now 61 years old and am compelled by this (George's life after football)story. It shows the human side of many people(particularly ones who are very intelligent and/or Creative) who have human conflicts (some call it daemons), that are not understood by the person who is having them. But they are not daemons at first - they are human conflicts and if you have more than one they can become daemons - because the person that is having these conflicts does not understand where there coming from; hence, they become daemons. This is an excellent article (blog) my only complaint is the Writer has not gone far enough with it. It needs more investigation and then get the story out there so that like people (really people in general) do not fall into the same trap. But I do not fault the writer (again he did an excellent piece) - it is probably beyond his scope. For those who do not know George Sauer - he was for his short playing career a great wide receiver who's moves were so smooth that defenders would fall down trying to defend him. And if he continued his football career would have been in the HOF.frankschulz@verizon.netnoreply@blogger.com
