Remember him as the kind voice of reason on “Inside The NFL”.

Met him once travelling for work.  Nice man.  Had a good life.

Some great memories of Insode the NFL in the 80’s.  I’m not old enough to ever see him play.  I hope he passed peacefully.

I remember for Super Bowl 50 (if I am remembering correctly) all 50 SB MVPs were there...and they are starting to slip away.

 

Times passes and things change.  We say good-bye to these childhood heroes and as much as we morn them we morn the passing of our youth, as well. 

 

RIP, Lenny.

I was looking at this photo earlier today, a beer and a cigarette during a game, that’s some serious sh-t right there😁👍

Back in the AFL days, I remember a black & white photo of the Chiefs lockeroom at half time with Lenny standing there smoking

a cigarrett listening to Hank Stram.   Might as well be casual about things, I guess.
