Just saw that, RIP. I don't know if it was because it was new, but MNF with those three announcers were the best. One of the all time quips was showing the lone fan at Tampa when he flashed the bird. and Meridith quipped something about ABC still being #1.
Turn out the lights, Don.

Rest in peace Dandy!

Too young to remember your playing days, but I loved you on MNF!

It was the heyday of MNF. He will always be a great memory of my youth, Cosell, Meredith and Gifford. The best MNF trio ever. RIP Dandy Don, way too young to pass away.

I'll have some Lipton tea in your honor.

Good QB in his day, IIRC he was the 'other' QB in the Ice Bowl game. RIP Danderoo.

We just have to try to evaluate them the best we can."

Yeah, I remember him well from his playing days, but even better from his MNF gig. I remember his stunned face when Cosell announced that John Lennon had been killed in New York City. That trio was really good, and was a joy to listen to while watching the game. All three had distinctive voices and approaches to the game, much more so than a lot of what we get with today's crews.

RIP Dandy Don.

Meredith was a perfect counterpoint to Cosell and.Gifford, He was always about football being fun and always had something funny to say. My favorite was during a game in he early 70s, a MNF game was a blowout and a lot of the fans had left the stadium. The camera was panning across the seats and settled in on one guy sitting alone and sleeping. The camera zooms in for a close-up and then the guy open his eyes and sees the camera and gives a middle finger salute. As Cosell and Gifford sat there speechless, Don says"All right! He says we're number one." RIP Dandy Don.
