Former Cowboys quarterback and popular broadcaster Don Meredith died Sunday night at age 72. On Monday, former Giants running back Frank Gifford, Meredith's long-time broadcast partner at "Monday Night Football", reflected on his friend. The Giants sent the following statement on behalf of Gifford:
“It is mind boggling that so many people from all walks of life have expressed to me their thoughts and sympathies on the passing of Don.
“We spent a lot of years together not only on Monday Night Football, but in sharing so much of our personal lives. I first met him when I was broadcasting games for CBS-TV. As we became closer, we would spend more and more time together. When he quite suddenly retired from the game in 1969, I suggested he talk with ABC’s Roone Arledge about a new project Roone had in mind, primetime football on Monday nights. To say that Don was an instant success would be a gross understatement.
“I joined the Monday Night Football team in the second year and, together with Howard Cosell, we helped change Monday night television into Monday Night Football or as some people called it Monday Night Madness. He occasionally would try his hand as an actor, but it wasn’t long before he realized that for millions of football fans, he would always be the one who ‘topped’ Howard Cosell with one-liners or a simple ‘come on, Howard.’
“But perhaps his trademark signature to Monday Night Football was when a team had a game locked up, be it midway into the fourth quarter or whenever, Don would break into a Willie Nelson hit called ‘Turn Out the Lights the Party’s Over.’
“Since Don’s retirement, he and his wife, Susan, had spent many happy years together in Santa Fe, New Mexico. More recently, Don had taken up painting and writing and over the last few years he and Susan had become deeply involved in their colorful and artistic community.”

Jason Frank goes from Power Ranger to MMA fighter
A few years ago actor Jason David Frank was used to hearing the familiar sound of fans yelling, "Go, go Power Rangers!" but now he's ready to hear the roar of a different crowd.
The former action star from the hit series "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers" has officially made the move to mixed martial arts, and while training with UFC lightweight Melvin Guillard, he hopes to make his real fighting experience as successful as he did on television.
Frank signed on with Suckerpunch Entertainment recently and hopes to make his professional debut in the very near future.
"I was supposed to fight in 2007, but it fell through. In truth, I've wanted to put the work in until I'm ready," Frank said in an interview from the Suckerpunch website. "I know I have a target on my back. Everyone is going to want to beat up the Green Ranger. But I am no Kimbo; I've been training for a very long time. I wanted to get in there before, but I got injured. But I'll be ready when the time comes."
The actor-turned-fighter is adding a ground game to what he believes is already an impressive stand-up resume, but he knows it's a long road to not only becoming a mixed martial artist, but a successful mixed martial artist.
"My style was missing the ground fighting. I have my blue belt in BJJ from Gracie Baja now, but we needed to have that ground game integrated into Tose Kune Do. There was a blank there. So we added wrestling, BJJ, etc., to it," Frank said. "Melvin Guillard has really helped add the wrestling. I needed to get with someone who could put it all together for me, and that was Saul Soliz. And he's done it. He's a good, hardcore trainer."
Proud of his time as the Green Ranger on the popular television show, Frank is ready to move onto new goals, and he hopes to conquer MMA the same way he did television.
"Just to go out there and do my best, and prove that I'm a real fighter," Frank said about his goals in MMA. "I'm not looking for any titles specifically. Ultimately, I want to give my fans something to watch and be proud of."
