    Heartbreaking to see Mort pass away. He was always a great presence on TV. Will be a massive loss.

    Rich is always the fatherly voice of reason with conviction. I don’t normally get emotional when celebrities die but when Rich gets choked up saying, “we love you” & when Stuart Scott (rest his soul) passed away; seeing Rich get emotional is on the level of watching your father cry. Thank you for your passion and genuineness, Rich.

    I've heard so many great things about this man. The theme I continue to get from across the sports journalist landscape and from athletes and celebrities is a gentle giant of a legacy who left a wonderful impression on anyone he met. The stuff legends are made of. RIP Mortensen

    well said. felt horrible for him when he got sick. but he persevered through it and still worked as an insider. he is part of the old ESPN colleagues that made the channel worth watching. he was a true respected it seems and even better person. RIP

    I started watching football around the year 2000. I grew up to Chris Berman and Tom Jackson doing NFL primetime. Watching Mike Golic, Sean Salisbury, Trey Wingo, John Clayton and Chris Mortensen. Thoughts and prayers to the Mortensen family.

    My childhood is transitioning smh…….since I was 9 years old all my Sunday mornings in the fall included NFL Gameday (as it was called back then) and part of that was The Mort Report. That cast of Boomer, TJ, Joe Theisman and Mort filling in the info gaps was magic.
    RIP to one of the best to ever do it.

    Go Chiefs! Mort was a huge part of my childhood growing up….his reaction to the Colts draft when Kiper ticked off the GM was iconic!

    As much as I hate Disney and all its subsidiaries for forcing far-left politics into everything they broadcast, ESPN has a long track record of employing some really good people - including some that are now gone, like Stuart Scott and Mort. RIP
