ESPN's John Saunders has died

Featured Replies

I hate this. He was really great.

 

TJ retires, Saunders dies, yet we're probably stuck with the awful Chris Berman forever. NO JUSTICE!!!!

Sounds like he died in his sleep. His wife called 911 at 4 am saying he was unresponsive. Heart attack maybe?

 

So sad, He was one of the few I really enjoyed watching.

Agree

His outstanding work on "The Sports Reporters" may have defined him more than any of the other great things he did. He hosted that show for 15 years. Used to make a point to get up early to watch that until they got away from print reporters.

I didn't realize he wrote a book about his mental health. Hopefully it was natural causes.

As opposed to what? You think somebody offed him?

I took that as maybe someone with mental health problems may have offed themselves.

^ Now that would be especially sad.

Thought I saw something yesterday that he had mentioned to some of the folks at ESPN that he wasn't feeling well the past couple of days.

In the statement from his wife she mentioned this.

He had mentioned that depression had threatened his life in the past. I hope this wasn't the case.

Sports reporters was very good today.

I saw the first half of the show. Did all the reporters comment about John in their closing remarks at the end?
