Frank Gifford - dead at 84
Most middle-aged football fans might remember Frank Gifford best for being part of one of the most famous broadcasting teams in sports history, but long before that he was one of the most versatile players the NFL has ever seen. He was a Pro Football Hall of Famer for his great career with the New York Giants.
Gifford died Sunday morning at age 84. The family announced the news and it was reported by multiple outlets, including NBC's "Today" show, of which Gifford's wife Kathie Lee Gifford is still a co-host. Pro Football Hall of Famer Frank Gifford dies at age 84 | Shutdown Corner - Yahoo Sports |

Readin' his Wiki entry - I never knew he was also the announcer for many of the Evel Knievel motorcycle jumps back in the 70s on Wide World of Sports.
I remember watchin' most of those as a kid. |
He was good at his line of work RIP Frank

Wow. Kathy Lee normally drinks a large glass of wine during her morning show (an inspiration for all alcoholic moms). She's gonna be drinking out of the bottle tomorrow!
:winkwink: |
Gifford at one time played booth ways until he was hit so hard catching a pass he missed the rest of that season and all of the next. Brutal fucking head hit back when helmets didn't protect much. He never played offense again, just defense.

I am shocked he didn't kill himself long ago living with that subhuman cunt wife!
