Rest in Peace Mort!!!
Thank you sir I’ve been watching you for years as a kid….rest easy
Wow 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 GOD bless his family
We will miss him!!!
Love his work, condolences to his family and the ESPN family.
Love you Chris!!
🙏🙏🙏 A broadcasting legend when ESPN was fun to watch
ESPN should be ashamed of themselves today for the lack of coverage of on this. They should have done a special Sports center tribute show to this man. Former colleagues, players and anyone who has ever come across Mort during his time on this earth. But to give him a small segment of acknowledgement is blasphemous in my opinion
It just happened. Come on. I’m sure there will be more tributes.
Of course the first comment is negativity.
He's white. Look what they did for Stuart Scott
Think there will be more by tomorrow. Think all of the talking heads tomorrow from Stephen A, Chris Berman, Get Up will all give their tribute.
@@joseromero81 I mean when someone from WWE happens, they have some of the best people who do review highlights of their careers.
The Mort Report,,,,R.I.P.my friend,,,you will be missed ,class act
prayers and condolences to his family and friends ✝️🙏🏻
Rest in Peace, Legend 🙏🕊
John Clayton now Mort 😔 R.I.P
And Lee Corso on deck . Nobody enjoys watching their Heroes die . But indeed the Fates escape us not . Memories are why we strive to be better than we are .
Rest in peace mort, he always made the NFL so informative. My dad passed at the same age a couple years ago. I was looking up the other day, to see whatever happened to John Clayton, and seen that he had passed away too
Rest in peace to your dad, John Clayton and Chris.
@@multiyapples thank you
Prayers to his family 🙏🏾

Loved watching him growing up. Rest in peace.
Grew up watching this man. Never met him but felt like I knew him. Rest in peace Sir 🙏🏼
He was very professional.
The 1990s NFL Sunday Countdown show on ESPN was my absolute favorite pre-game show of all time with Chris Mortensen, Chris Berman, Tom Jackson, Joe Theismann and Sterling Sharpe.
One of the greatest of all time chris rih
Always enjoyed watching you sir. Rest in Greatness.

🙏🙏🙏 Chris Mortenson absolute legend
I'll never forget the old school, OG Sunday Gameday & Sunday night Primetime crew of Chris Berman & Tom Jackson with Jaws, Mort & Theisman giving commentary & injury updates. That was the best show ESPN _ever_ had, followed closely by DP & KO on "the Big Show." The memories of watching football with my friends from my high school & college years are my favorite sports memories to this day, & Mort was a huge part of those shows. Thanks & prayers go out to Mort's family & friends #RIPLEGEND
Very professional and good vibe guy!!
Thank you for your decades of work, Mr Mortensen.
He will be surely be missed

What a beautiful human, thank you sir ❤

Thanks Chris.
I’ll never forget the first time I saw this guy. I was 13 and he looked like an older version of my old football coach at Edgewood Jr high school. I’ll never forget that.
Rest in Paradise Chris!!
He was so good at what he did,he is in a better place, peace to you
Rest in Power Mort!!!! Praying for you and your family

He was the pinnacle of Sports reporting. In that "Cronkite style", he rarely if ever offered opinion. Only facts, as sharp as a straight razor, and let YOU, the viewer, come to your own conclusion. You know, like REAL JOURNALISM. He was an example. He was a man, who many times, made us think, pause, reflect, and realize the truth, even in sports, still lives. Thank you Chris & God bless you & yours....
Truly a sad death.
Will be missed by all. By mort
In the early years of ESPN Radio -- anchor Peter Brown said he would have a bit of fun with Chris Mortensen (unbeknownst to the guest) and ask questions out of order during their segment just to see what would happen......and Mort never missed a beat by getting thrown off.
omg nooo he was so chill very professional one of my favorite
Thats sad to hear
Wow
Nooooooooooo
