Sadly, The Giff Is Gone

[Rapier]

MNF was at its zenith with Giff. He was a settled guy who managed to get it right in all aspects of life. He and Chuck got to the top of their game and will never be topped. Rest in peace.

Huh? Piper gets 20 replies and Frank Gifford gets none? SMH

I have to admit the only reason I know anything about Frank Gifford is Kathy Lee. However the way she talked about him he must have been a great guy, husband and father.

RIP Frank

First off all, I didn't reply because this was in the soccer section, and your OP and thread title didn't really make it clear what you were talking.

In 1953, Gifford ran for two scores, caught four touchdown passes, threw a TD on a halfback option, returned an interception for a score, kicked a field goal and converted a pair of extra points.

RIP

It was in the football section. And I'm in America.

Anyway....He'll always be the voice of Monday Night Football to me. More significant to the MNF brand than someone like Chris Berman for instance. He was literally the first voice I recall hearing when I started watching football on TV.

Condolences to the Gifford family.
