Died suddenly in his home this morning of a presumed heart attack. RIP to one of the legends of football and broadcasting.

Grew up listening to him on Monday Night Football, one of tGOAT sports announcers.

Met Kathie Lee one time. She's annoying on TV but was very nice and gracious in person.


This is my favorite Frank Gifford story, and illustrates the genius of Johnny Carson.

I have no hate for Frank Gifford, but I don't think you get to say "all class."




obviously he moved on from this and had a happy life with Kathy Lee. I have no judgment on him for that action, but it was a pretty public mistake.

Pic isn't showing up, but is the flight attendant from the 90's? I still have that Playboy she was in somewhere.


Frank loved the P, and I'd be shocked if she was the only one he stepped out on Kathie with.

The two main participants in this legendary photo are now gone. This hit by "Concrete Charlie" Chuck Bednarik put Gifford out of football for two seasons. Bednarik passed a few months back & Gifford passed yesterday. RIP to both legends.



Video of the classic hit

Also Gifford was a two way player early in his career with the Giants. He got to learn from two of the best to ever coach football as Vince Lombardi was the Giants offensive coordinator & Tom Landry was the defensive coordinator.

A classy gentleman always keeps a secret apartment. We must be discreet my dear, wouldn't want anyone getting the wrong idea about what kind of girl you are.

Frank was such a pimp, it was Carson's wife that got the secret apartment.
