Didn't see this posted yet:

Pro Football Hall of Famer Merlin Olsen dies at 69 - NFL - Yahoo! Sports

14 Pro Bowls in 15 years is pretty dang good.

Oh, I don't know, I'd say we knew Merlin pretty well.

RIP.

Indeed we did. I actually liked his character on Father Murphy.

If only there was some business we could call to have a physical approximation of our sympathy delivered to his family.

Its sad, but the first thing I though of was:

"...I'm friends with Merlin Olsen, too. He comes over on occasion."

You know, I actually thought he was already dead. Then I realized that I was thinking of either Victor French or Nipsey Russell.

I confuse those two quite a bit as well.

Amazing player, annoying commentator. Had a total hard-on for Denver in the 80s, was hard to watch a game with him.

But again, great player, and nice acting career. RIP, Merl.

I only remember him from LHOTP.
