I haven't had a television for more than 15 years, so I haven't seen any (well almost none) NFL games for a long time.

I used to be a Cowboys fan. - Frank, Howard, and Don were a great team.

RIP Don.

One of the best color analysts ever.

Another of his quotes was "drop back 20 yards and kick." He was one of the best.

According to the news, he suffered a brain hemorrhage and died.

Don, Frank and Howard made MNF fun.

Dandy Don ----- May he long be remembered. I always admired him, both as a player and as a MNF commentator. Loved his "Turn out the lights, the party's over....."

Some great Meredith comments 1)Said Otis Sistrunk of the Raiders was from the University of Mars 2)When a lone Houston Oiler fan gave the camera the finger when they were losing big time Don said We're #1

Yep, never was the same after that team broke up. Always seemed like Howard was too smart, Don was not smart enough, and Frank tried to hold everything together. Lots of fun.

RIP, Don.

Just googled Frank Gifford to see how he was doing. Fine, apparently- they had a pic of him turning 80, and wife Kathy Lee turning 57, on the birthday they share- August 16, 2010. They also share it with me- I turned 62 that day. Kathy Lee looked great, he looked OK, and I looked as well as could be expected.
