          I always liked him - on and off the field. Sorry to hear this.

              Mostly true, rarely cases have been diagnosed with no known exposure to Asbestos. Other similar fibrous minerals can also be a catalyst for the disease.

                The cancer can take years(decades) after exposure to develop.

                All people his age were exposed to the stuff.

                In my elementary school the heat was by steam. The pipes around the radiators were wrapped with the stuff...we would pokes holes in the outer wrap, then flip it with our finger because we thought it was cool to see the white power that came out like puffs of smoke.

                Anybody over the age of 45 or so has been exposed to a lot of the stuff over the years.

                Break pads were made of it up until maybe 20 years ago. Anybody who maybe worked on their car and changed pads has breathed in a lot of asbestos dust....

                If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.

                  A great player, exellent human being. Tougher than nails, but played the game with an integrity.

                  He refused to cheap shot, or cut corners to being a great player.

                  That's sad, ... he was respected everywhere, highly.

                  God Bless, Merlin.

                        I was friends with Merlin Olsen, he came over......................on occasion. (movie reference btw)

                        Seriously though, great player and even greater person. Great example on how to play the game right. He will be missed.

                          He did a great job on NBC as a football color guy as well, working with Dick Enberg for years.

                          RIP Merlin...
