Died from complications of liver surgery at age 57
I liked his work as a commentator back in the day.

That's sad. I remember him as a solid player... as far as a booth commentator goes, I remember him going to the "Egregious mental error!" well way too often.Died from complications of liver surgery at age 57

He and Fred Roggin in the booth were painful to the ears. I don't think they got along well.57 is far too young, indeed. I wasn't particularly a fan of his overly verbose style in the booth, but that's neither here nor there. I appreciate his contributions to the Silver & Black. RIP.

Used to get him on a lot of Bronco games - and you could tell he did not like the Broncos every once in a while when he let his neutrality slip - it's a shame RIPICON211 said:I used to really enjoy an early 90s AFC West telecast with him and Charlie Jones. RIP.
That is a great description.I just remember his big jersey flailing around like a flag as he scrapped and fought for more yards.

Ozzie Newsome and Marv Bavaro had excellent seasons. Bavaro was a great player especially his first two seasons (1985 and 1986).And he should have had 4 straight All-Pro's from 83-86.From 1982 to 1987, no player in the NFL had more receptions than Christensen: 1.
