It is weird. No one is mentioning the cause of death. It's a shame, I really enjoyed his work.

I saw this a few minutes ago. shocking news, and completely unexpected from what I've read so far.
I don't think anyone knows a cause of death as yet....

I'm sure the cause will be released soon. The guy's probably still warm.

I loved his style of reporting. No fluff, no attempts to be funnier than he was. One of the better talents over at ESPN.

RIP John Saunders!

Default Shocking and very sad

I used to watch him in Baltimore when he first move to the states and was sports anchor back in the early 80's before he was an espn star. Wonderful professional, credit to espn and he will be sorely missed. Condolences to his family and friends RIP
