John Saunders, ESPN Journalist, has suddenly passed away.

[holidayinn21]

One of the few on ESPN that actually had integrity.

RIP

Wow, mixed feelings. He's like staple but he wasn't a personality that stood out. Like everybody knows him but at the same time personality wise, he wasn't like a star so to speak. It's weird but rip nonetheless

He was just a a pro. One of the few ESPN guys who didn't develop a larger then life hack persona so he didn't stand out in that way

This one hurts.


I remember being a 17 year old intern working there and meeting him. Good man, nice to everyone around him. The anti-Boomer. He loved his sports, brehs. He's what a lot of us would love to be, a fan who get paid to watch and enjoy sports and legitimately enjoy his colleagues' company and work environment.


He'll be missed.

[Taadow]

Whaaaat?

Aww mayne...I still watch Sports Reporters err Sunday.
He was the only somebody I would listen to talk about hockey.

fukk i'm crushed.

To my Toronto brehs, he used to moonlight and cover raptor games on city tv in 90s.

A true professional. Proud black man, father and husband.

This year has been terrible brehs.
