  • Merlin Olsen RIP

    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.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

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

            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.
