RIP. He was required reading for nearly two decades in the 80's and 90's. I grew up reading his weekly NFL column with all sorts of rumors and news every Sunday in the AJC, then he moved to "The National" which was short-lived but a great sports paper in the late 80's/early 90's. Mort then went on to become the legend at ESPN and his stiff throughout the 90's and early 2000's was awesome.
