Sorry to hear this. Loved the way he played, true hard nosed FB. 
 

Wishing him and all his family the best. 

[Freddie's Dead]

All the best to Sam Gash, arguably the best fullback name ever.

[The Wiz]

One of my favorite players when I was younger. 

 

The guy looked like a TE and just bulldozed people.

Thoughts to him and his family, hope he is able to overcome.

***** you, cancer.

[Nephilim17]

Very glad to hear he's now cancer free. Holy s$$t, he's 53? Time flies...

[Bookie Man]

Gash was just a straight up football player. That 98-99 team was just a tough, hard nosed team. Especially with Gash and that D. 

[Bob in STL]

Very good football player.  Best wishes to him. 

[John from Riverside]

Sam gash is too tough for cancer

I had a hat with wording "Sam Bash" and his number which I got in raffle.  Not sure source of hat was. 

I used to get comments from people saying they loved to see him hit people.

This was the era when the Bills had the coolest names. Gash, Spikes, Bledsoe. Def a childhood hero of mine. He was a mauler in that backfield. Get well ! 

[Solomon Grundy]

He'd be a great "legacy" player to bring back and Lead the Charge

[BillsPride12]

Old school fullback right there, they don't make em like that anymore.  Best wishes to Sam

Funny Sam Gash story.

He came into our dealership about 20 years ago, I recognized him and went up and said hello, a few others did as well including the owner. I joked with Sam, I said "I don't think you're a very good blocker". In fact, I don't think you could block me! (I'm a past my prime, out of shape, never could have in my prime either). I get down in a 3 pt. stance and said get ready! He giggled and we all burst out laughing. He was really a cool dude.

Best recovery wishes Sam.

I don't understand the 60K bill. Don't NFL vets keep their medical insurance when they retire?

Good to hear that he is feeling better.  And take note everyone - don't put off that annual physical.

Amazing story... 3 cancers in 2 years plus 20 surgeries, plus his Mom getting cancer.

 

Good thing he's such a tough son of a gun.

 

Prayers to you Sam in your fight. Glad you're cancer free.

Donations sound like the obvious choice, and something we are very, very good at. Any thoughts?

You heard him correctly, cancer.  He said "**** you," you piece of ****.
