Frank Gifford is dead, and that’s terrible news for football fans. He was, after all, a legendary New York Giant who pioneered the game. In fact, we’re pretty sure his career pre-dated the Super Bowl. And, of course, Gifford was the last surviving member of the legendary sportscasting team that made Monday Night Football a sensation for decades. [photo: USC/Getty]
But don’t bother ace CNN “senior media correspondent” Brian Stelter with all that. Football’s yucky, but morning television is very, very important…
Yeah, real nice. Frank was Kathie Lee Gifford’s husband. Lead with that, Brian. Oh, look–CNN’s senior media correspondent just found something else he forgot to mention, after getting mercilessly mocked for a while…
At least Brian got the official family statement out of the way for us, though. Oh, well. Farewell, Frank. We’ll remember your incredible career, and that you reportedly brought up anal sex on your first date with that stewardess who set you up on a tabloid sting back in the ’90s. That was epic.
