Frank Gifford, an NFL legend on the field and in the broadcast booth, died this past weekend at 84. The passing of the former New York Giant and NFL hall of famer got me thinking a bit about the state of sports on TV and football broadcasting in general.
As a player, Gifford was well before my time. He retired in the mid 60s and was inducted into the pro football hall of fame in 1977. The image of him getting knocked out by Eagles legend Chuck Bednarik (who only recently passed away himself) is one of the most iconic in pro football history.
