Keeping crothety bottled up inside will kill you.

Sad.  Didn't he just retire a month ago?
It's all in the grind, Sizemore. Can't be too fine, can't be too coarse. This, my friend, is a science. I mean you're looking at the guy that believed all the commercials. You know, about the "be all you can be." I made coffee through Desert Storm. I made coffee through Panama while everyone else got to fight, got to be a Ranger.

Something close to that.

I find it disturbing that you're imagining me in a sauna, never mind the teletubbie aspect of it

RIP.

He was my dad's favorite commentator.  We used to watch him every Sunday night when I was growing up.

Never afraid to speak his mind.  My kind of man.

I also have fond memories of watching him with my dad every Sunday night.

The older I got, the more I liked Mr. Rooney. I think I have oldtimers disease.

I'll add that when he worked for Stars and Stripes during WW2 he he was one of only six correspondents who flew on the second American bombing raid over Germany. Not just crotchety, but he had brass balls volunteer to do that.
