Oh no... 😢  God bless his family.

[Warriorspikes51]

God be with his family. He seemed like a cool guy

R.I.P. Mr. Mortensen. He was a class act, and will definitely be missed. Thoughts and Prayers for his entire family!

There are some unlikeable mouthpieces on ESPN, but Mort was one of the good guys.

 

It's a sad day.

[BuffaloBill]

May he RIP. Was he sick?

[Ray Stonada]

Sad. Gotta appreciate every day we have.

Back in the pre-Mafia-social-media days thin-skinned Bills fans really used to hate Mort because he covered the Bills organization like the irrelevant sh!t show that they were under Ralph.    He caught a lot of flack from Bills fans that he really didn't deserve for being honest, IMO.

[GETTOTHE50]

One of the best in sports media. Did not embellish his reporting which I appreciate 

[BuffaloBillyG]

One of the best and most likable to ever do it. Don't think I've ever heard a bad word about the man. Sports reporting aside, the world lost a good person. RIP Mort.

[Beast]

Thank you for all you did for us fans, Mort. I loved listening to you.

 

RIP.

He was a quality human being. There was no rancor in his honesty. Old school, before the age of influencers and the like corrupted everything.

RIP

 

For some reason I always found him to be more likable than most. He had struggled with his health for years, but when it comes to an end it’s still a shock. Prayers for the family to find peace.

Throat cancer is what got my Dad.   Rich Eisen announced Mortensen's passing as they were concluding their combine coverage.  Daniel Jeremiah broke into tears talking about what he meant to him.  He said they were texting each other throughout the day yesterday about draft prospects.   He was a real pro until the end.  RIP and thank you, Mr. Mortensen.

R.I.P. Mort

[Shaw66]

A lovely man.  He showed his love of his work, and his courage, when he returned to the microphone after his initial treatments.  

 

So sorry for him and his family.

Was a favorite of JA, who regularly gave Mort breaking news when he had it.
