Aw man - he was one of the very best. Sad to hear. From Storm's reading of the news, sounds like it was unexpected.

Damn, Hanah Storm had to announce this one too?! After announcing the passing of Stuart Scott?! Brutal.

.Been so long since I watched espn but if Berman didn't have his rumbling stumbling spill Saunders might have been my favorite.

Saw a story last night that said he hasn't been feeling well the last few days and then was found dead yesterday morning. Nothing else as of yet.

It's a clear example of a heart/cardio problem. Body isn't getting blood and person feels tired, ill, etc. Men don't seem to bother getting it checked out quick enough. |

He had also spoken openly about battling depression frequently during his life.
