Default RIP Chris Mortensen

Passed away today at 72. Thought he was always one of the best NFL guys ESPN had. Usually his reports were spot on and not just a guy to report the first thing he heard without fact checking it or being one of these jerk offs who just need to be a shock jock reporter saying things to try to get ratings.

Yeah he was one of the ESPN OGs I feel like. Had not seen him nearly as much on tv over recent years.

RIP, Mort, you'll be missed.



Chris was a U.S. Army vet, and like me, a lifelong Rams fan from California's South Bay.

For a minute I thought this was Mort Christensen!

RIP, Chris- ESPN will miss your grown-up presence.
