Indeed, a great one

The Fearsome Foursome would have been fearsome even if it had been a onesome….those guys could play defensive line.

I was always impressed with Olsen as he popped up in venues outside of playing football and did so much versititiel stuff so well.

Mesothelioma….alas.

Very fond memories of Merlin, Rosie, Decon and Lamar on defense

with Roman Gabriel at the QB. NFL was pure then.

His football was tops, but I think HE was better than even that as a human being. Obviously a wonderful person who will be missed by everyone who knew of him or got to see him on the field or acting ot commentating. I feel he is Heaven bound. So long until we meet up there, Merlin.

2 For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the LORD endureth for ever. Praise ye the LORD.
