Man I’m sad about this one. At least his documentary aired before he went. We lost a giant. Honestly might be the biggest name outside of Michael Jordan.
He is gone, but the Turducken lives on.

He was so young when he took over then. And one of the few that got out & made a hell of a career afterwards.
Being born in the 70s and growing up in the 80s a skins fan this guy was on at my house every week. I can hear him in those classic nfc east battles right now. What an icon.
Winningest % as a coach in the NFL that has coached 100 games.
Video game may be the biggest selling of all time—don’t know for sure but it’s up there.
As a spokesperson everything he sold turned to gold. “Tough Actin Tinactin” and “Less Filling, Tastes Great”
Perhaps the most iconic broadcaster of all time. I might could argue outside of Michael Jordan the most influential sports figure of all time.
RIP to someone who earned the respect
I doubt there will ever be another 6 legged turkey.
Honestly was my best part of Christmas. Normally it wouldn’t be but my wife tested positive so we had to cancel plans with the family…..well we didn’t have to but we did think it was the responsible thing to do.
Sorry to hear that, we went through a little of that ourselves!
He was certainly one of the biggest names in the history of NFL Broadcasting.
That's one thing about being old, I remember him in every role, except as a player in college.
The other thing about his career that is very interesting is the fact, he was getting out of coaching at an age when most or getting their first head coaching position today.
