正当今天ESPN的IG几乎被篮球热战新闻攻占的同时，有一则与NFL相关的讣闻倒是静悄悄地
顺带出现在上面，而且主角正是ESPN的自己人—
以下是ESPN张贴此消息的附文：
We're very sorry to share the devastating news that Chris Mortensen, an award-wi
nning NFL journalist at ESPN for more than three decades, died Sunday morning at
the age of 72.
Thanks for everything, Mort. We'll miss you dearly.

资深NFL记者-Chris Mortensen，已经于周日早上过世，享寿72岁

值得一提的是，Mortensen过世的消息，倒是在ESPN对手品牌The Atheletic有更详细的生平
报导

跳槽到The Athletic了..
