Died yesterday from mesothelioma. One of my favorite TV commentators as a kid growing up in the 1980s.

Man is that sad. Number one color guy on NBC. And one heck of a defensive tackle.

He will be missed by all of us who loved Little House on the Prairie.

:lol: Swede....

He was one of the best ever football broadcast guys IMHO. I remember him....not who he was paired with all those years ago.

Played at Jarret Bush's alma matter. Probably the best player by far to ever come out of there.
