[MartinBlank]

Brock, you doing the reporting for the Grim Reaper?

You're not bringing good news at all.....

I liked Olsen when he use to call NFL games......

[Bluehorseshoe]

He was rumored to be partying with Cory Haim.

Merlin was great in little house in the Prairie

Brock make sure you spell the third one right, when you alert us to it....

[pavyracer]

SBR please hire Brock Landers as the official obituary writer. Every time I see one of these threads I get depressed.

[Bluehorseshoe]

they come in three's Brock make sure you spell the third one right, when you alert us to it....

I'm guessing Joaquin Andujar. He's so due.

[Brock Landers]

Just heard it on the radio, reported it here first LOL

[Fishhead]

The reasons for his death is a strange one..........read up on it.

[hhsilver]

Why strange, Fish? From what I read it was mesothelioma that he had been getting chemo for.

He was a great player. I see that he won the Outland trophy and played at Utah St. Can you imagine how good he must have been to get that kind of notice as a Utah ST lineman? Wouldn't happen today in the BCS/espn era.

I read and heard it was Mesothelioma as well, nothing odd.

MERLIN OLSEN (1940-2010) 14 time All Pro

He was one of the best defensive linemen to ever play as his 14 straight All Pro selections would indicate. Part of the fearsome foursome. All Class too...RIP
