RIP Merlin Olsen

[Jimmy Carter]

One of my all-time favorite NFL'ers.

Merlin Olsen, Pro Football Hall of Fame lineman, dies at 69 - ESPN Los Angeles

 

[Chewbacca]

Great player and I enjoyed him in the booth with Dick Enberg.

RIP

RIP Merlin, a member of the Fearsome Foursome.......

 

[MaxBuck]

I'm shocked. Merlin always seemed to take good care of himself, consistent with his Mormon faith. Dying at 69 is dying young, these days. RIP indeed. :(

 

[Bucklion]

Merlin had cancer, as unfortunately many around his age do. Great player and a really nice man, I met him a few times. RIP...I'll miss him

 

[Apache]

One time I watched him on "Little House on the Prairie" and he knocked a guy out with one punch. Great player and Great American.

A day of poignant reflection for all of us gray bearded football fans
