I saw that.  Very sad -- he was truly one of the best at what he did on air, and from everything I've heard, he was a great person when away from the microphone too.

Crappy news.

One of the very few stand up ESPN/ABC personalities.  He was a staple of college football for years and was flawless in taking the torch from Dick Shaap on Sports Reporters.  Definitely sad to hear.

Not reported yet but apparently unexpected. 

RIP to one of the reliable, steady constants in broadcasting and sports coverage.  A true pro.  Be sure to hug your Ernie Johnson today.
