Ahoy, me hearties! Gather 'round to hear the tale of one Ben Gay, a scallywag once known as a fleet-footed running back of the Cleveland Browns! Alas, in a tragic twist of fate, this swashbuckler met Davy Jones in a car crash in the wilds of Colorado, leaving us all a wee bit sad. He be 44 years young, but now he sails the eternal seas.On that fateful day, July 29, the news spread like wildfire across the seven seas, with tales told by the Associated Press and other landlubber scribes. Fellow mates from the old school days reminisced of Ben's glory on the high school fields, where he was a veritable beast of the gridiron—stompin' and struttin' in the 90s like a true pirate of the pitch!
Before donning the Brown’s colors, he made waves at Garden City Community College and even took a shot with the Edmonton Eskimos, but it was the Browns who took the plunge. He played all 16 battles in the 2001 season, rushin’ for 172 yards and scoring once, though they cast him off the following season. He leaves behind his cherished crew—his wife and three young buccaneers.
So raise a tankard in memory of Ben Gay, a true pirate of the football seas! Fair winds to ye, matey!
