🪦 mort bruah such an amazing journalist in the NFL. By fall time it not going to be the same
If he was a believer in Jesus Christ he will definitely be going to glory there is no glory for those who didn’t believe and worship and serve the creator of heaven and earth the Lord Jesus Christ
Didn’t realize he wrote for the daily breeze. Grew up with that paper.
Raised as a fan of the Lombardi Packers, and a former employee of the New England Patriots, I have enjoyed Chris Mortensen, his character and his content. Truly a star.
Adam, very nice job on your tribute.
He can now listen to Slayer in john Claytons room in the penthouse.
Awesome ‼️‼️👏👏👏👏
One last Mort Report for the ages. ❤
Mort was the best, the very best!!! May I relay a message to you all: "It doesn't end here guys, it doesn't end here!~"
I thought he was also and ex-NFL kicker. Maybe I'm thinking of Morten Anderson (:
I am all for an ESPN Mount Rushmore with Mort and all the best of the rest. TIP Mort. Always enjoyed watching you. 🏈🙏🕊️💐
Rest in peace Mort.
He seemed like a legit good guy, sucks when they aren't around anymore
God bless Mort. A class act and the best. Prayers to his family and friends🙏
One of the Original Insiders a True Legend! Sending prayers and love to his family.
This was beautiful, well done Adam
God love you Mort, I loved listening to you back then, and always, sleep well Friend!!❤❤❤
TV stations said nothing, as well as anchors, no tears, no sorrow feeling, no nothing. ESPN decides to put a montage of photos of him on a video format on YouTube. LMFAO! Guess no one really gave a fuk about him. Amazing how billion dolalr companies just shoulder shrug deaths and onto the next. LMFAO
Why are all these anchors dying early at ESPN? Toxic environment? Stu and so many others after him. Just weird. Sound slike being a millionarie but a dik head never really wins in the end
A great tribute. Mortenson is from an era of ESPN that I truly miss…that many of us miss.
It’s going to be weird when the NFL season starts on Monday. Hope the families stay in courage 🎊 😢
Shefty… This was a beautiful obituary! Great job and God speed Chris!! You will be missed but forever cherished and remembered for your contributions to the sport and for the man you were off camera..
Great Guy who was really loved by his fans. He will be missed🙏🏻
we lost a real good man 🙏🙏🙏🥲
Love you baby. Keep the sidelines clear and God bless you. Rest easy I appreciate the work you put in so I could eat dinner and watch you tell it the way it was.
Going to miss you Mort. Thank you for everything- Juan valdelamar
Well done, Adam. Very. Well. Done.
Loved Mortensen. He will definitely be missed. Great work on this piece and having Schefter do it.
Well Done indeed!! Mort had a strong relationship with Jesus Christ. That was what his faith was about! This is what Jesus said about Himself in John 11:26 "everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?”
When Mort passed from this realm to the next, H=he saw the love of his soul for the first time! He would never want to come back. This make sports so trivial. We will miss you Mort but because of what Jesus did for all of us who know you personally, we will see you again very soon!
Just a word of thanks. He is still one of the best. Rest easy Mort. ❤
Very nice tribute. Well done.
Say hi to Stuart Scott for us. Love ya, Chris! 😢❤
He will be missed forever!!!
Thank you Adam for a touching tribute!!!
Too bad about Chris. espn is an embarassment. From Dem dan patrick to that idiot keithy olberdumb. What used to be an entertaining sports, has now become a woke advertisement. Dem dan patrick, Lebaturd, olburdumb, and their ilk should be ashamed.
Such a great reporter and got so many scoops! No BS like the idiots today
Thank God this MONSTER is gone! What he did to all of those children will forever haunt me.
That's what you get for touching Kids, you Creep!
your best piece of journalism Allan //////////mort will be missed
When Adam first came over to ESPN and was paired with Chris I thought Chris was going to be phased out that that's just the way the business worked.
I'm glad I was wrong because Chris Mortensen and Adam Schefter are still two things that are right with ESPN.
Thank you Mort
you are missed
Just an incredible tribute. I loved watching him report football growing up. So glad he got into the hall of fame before his passing! ❤😢
Oof, this one hits different. Mort always had that smile that would welcome you in and make you listen in to what he had to say. No surprise to hear all the kind words from everyone (Schefty nicely done) after his passing.
If you read this please search for the Bill Tobin/Mel Kiper showdown of the 1994 draft. There is a brief clip of Mort giggling at Kiper right before they are to throw to him and Bill Tobin. That genuine reaction always makes me laugh. Thanks Mort, God bless, and rest in peace.
Mort ,Pat and John, Like to think there telling story's over a few beers right now. sadly missed.
My childhood heros are leaving my life.😢😢
Keep the sidelines clear up there old pal
So very sad too see.My condolences to the family ✝️ Rest in Heaven Chris ✝️All Gods angels are in Heaven ✝️🕊️🇺🇸 Great coverage for sports ⚡
Thank you, Mort. Thank you for such a thoughtful tribute, Adam.
He instigated the entire "deflategate" drama and LIES and never ever apologized for being completely wrong and being a hack and never removed his damaging tweet(s) that were proven as pure bs and garbage. He was lame and stale, exactly as ESPN has been for decades
