Former NFL Today and Eagles Irv Cross passed away



Damned if we all didn't live for that show on Sunday morning. Jimmy The Greek was the engine that made that ship go and it certainly launched the career of Brent Musburger, who is still going strong today, oddly enough as one of the voices of the Raiders games. Jimmy, Brent, Phyllis, and Irv were quite a team that lasted a long, long time.

RIP, Irv
 

RIP. As I think about it more, I really miss the calmness he brought to the table. I really miss having people like him who succeed without shouting or having a hot take.

As a side note, this is a total Mandela effect moment for me. I was certain he had passed a few years back.
 

Irv was living here in Minnesota for many years. He attended the same church my mom attends. He got a kick out of the fact my mom (who’s in her 80’s) has a yearly fantasy football team in the family league. He would ask her about it every Sunday during football season.
