Bob Trumpy, Longtime NFL Player and Broadcaster, Dies
- On Sunday, the Cincinnati Bengals announced former tight end Bob Trumpy has died at the age of 80 at his home in Cincinnati surrounded by family.
- A 6-foot-6, 228-pound athlete, Bob Trumpy was named to four Pro Bowls and finished his career with nearly 300 receptions, pioneering the pass-catching tight end role.
- After his playing career, Trumpy worked for NBC Sports and Westwood One, calling four Super Bowls and NFL Sunday Night Football while hosting WLW-AM in Cincinnati.
- Brown, the Bengals president, said `As a broadcaster, he made his mark both locally and nationally and excelled at sports other than football in a career that was as successful as what he accomplished on the field` and added `He did it all very well and I regret his passing.`
- He received the Pete Rozelle Radio-Television Award, famously kept a suicidal caller on the line for two-and-a-half hours in the 1983 caller incident, and said years ago that Hall of Fame induction never crossed his mind.
