I really only remember watching him on Inside the NFL in the 90s, but I thought he was great in that capacity.

When he was calling games on the radio, he made sure everyone knew his opinion of the quarterback's play. I envisioned him sitting in the booth with his old uniform and cleats on, waiting for them to call his number.

Yeah, way before my time as a player, but one of the voices of my childhood from Inside the NFL.

Mentioning an old Chief’s passing had me trying to remember Ed Podalak’s name. I Googled “Creepy Hawkeye who played for the Chiefs” and first hit was his Wikipedia.

But RIP Len Dawson. Little girl me rooted on your Super Bowl win.

Len smoking a lung dart doesn't seem that strange, but what's up with the Fresca.

The 80s, too. He was very good.

Some great stories on 810 am radio today. Sounds like he was a real down to earth star, unlike several this day and age.
