Was just tweeting about the Seahawks last week. I’m sure lots of us will remember this commercial but he was definitely a presence. Always liked him. RIP.

This one hurts. Been watching this guy "forever" it seems. Guy was tuned in 100%. Tough loss here.

Legend! I used to listen to him daily at 4 pm on my drive home, 9-12 on the Saturday show. Always passionate and knowledgeable, right or wrong, it was always entertainment! RIP Professor! 

 

[sho nuff]

Man. Always a good listen on football and baseball.   This one hits hard.

 

[zamboni]

Very sad. He was Ian Rapaport/Adam Schefter before those guys were anything.

Met him in Canton about 15 years ago in Canton for the HOF game. A very nice man. RIP

Exactly. Before the internet had all the information, us long-time fantasy football players would look to folks like Clayton for info that would give us an edge over our league mates. It’s also back when we probably watched ESPN religiously. 
RIP to the good man.

RIP to the good man. 

He also seemed to be one of the original "nerds" of football. He knew his stuff but you never would have guessed it based on his look. I feel like that Clayton mold has taken over a lot of football and especially fantasy football space.
