Very good NFL kicker and an even better NFL sports reporter. Chris Mortensen had Stage 4 throat cancer since 2016. He lived 8 years longer than expected, a testament to his strength and determination. Sincere condolences to his wife, children and family. RIP, Mort.

He was a good guy. He didn't deserve what happened to him while guys like Keith Olbermann continue to exist.
