Default Todd Christensen dead at 57

This shocked me. I had no idea he was sick.

I think he drove most of us crazy with his broadcasts, but at the same time, I feel sad about this more than would be the case for just any BYU sports icon dying.

He seemed like the kind of sports blowhard I would have liked to have personally known.

Goodbye Todd, we'll miss you.

The Dick Harmon article gives more details. Had liver failure, was waiting for transplant. Had the transplant surgery and never regained consciousness and died.

I don't get it. Are you saying that since he doesn't drink there was nothing he could do?
