oh my .... So very sad to hear.

I thought he'd beat his cancer issue and the worst was behind him. I grew up watching Mortensen per ESPN, so it stings
and saddening to hear of his passing.

My thoughts, prayers and condolence to his beloved family and friends. He will be missed.

Ughh that’s terrible news. I always liked him more than the Glazers and Scehfty’s of the world. RIP

Prayers for his family. He was the ultimate go to for real insight and genuine reporting on the NFL. None of the clownery they have on there most of the time now. Sad to see the end of an era.

I knew he wasn't doing well but this is still a surprise. He was the voice of the NFL news for many years before all these 'insiders' we have now.

Prayers and condolences to his family. RIP Mort!!!!
