R.I.P., Mr. Gifford.

Probably not fair as we are painfully aware, but I always think of the sex talk tape with the flight attendant when I hear his name now.

I bet Bednarik will be there to greet him at the gates.

Died suddenly. Heart attack, stroke, or after a long illness? He was the sane portion of MMF with Cosell and Dandy Don. A legendary trio and the best MNF trio ever I think.

a class gentleman. Rest in Peace

Agree 100% that they were the best MNF trio. IMHO, that era made the NFL so popular that it became a part of the Amercian fabric. Now....pffftttt....it's a tattered bath mat.

Jimmy Roberts had a very nice tribute on NBCSN. Can't find a YouTube link.

Said Gifford always had time for all members of the crews who supported his broadcasts and treated everyone equally with respect. I hate those who "big time" others, so that goes a long way with me.

I imagine living with Kathie Lee must have been worth some time off in Purgatory for the poor guy.
