Bill B was part of a great set of Eagles linebackers - John Bunting, Bill B, Frank LeMaster, and Jerry Robinson. I think they each played for a decade. Quite a quartet.

Robinson was a bit later than Bergey, however they did play together on the 1980 NFC Championship team.

This one hurts hard. He was my favorite announcer besides Summerall and Enberg. I'll never forget his Super Bowl XXXVIII call on the winning FG: "Looks good!" Then silence to let everyone take in the Patriots' celebration. That's a lost art. Man, I'll miss him.

Jix Nix, receiver for the 49ers in 1950 and the 1951 Saskatchewan Roughriders before transitioning to a back judge for 10 seasons, died April 12 at the age of 95. Nix was the last living NFL official from the 1950s. He and the late Jim Tunney were the last living officials to work the weekend of the JFK assassination, both assigned to the Cowboys game in Cleveland.
