Little known fact: If you name a child Merlin, then he has to become a magician.

The Fearsome Foursome”: tackles Merlin Olsen and Roosevelt (“Rosie”) Grier and ends Deacon Jones and Lamar Lundy.

Loved it when he announced nfl games.

Who the hell downvotes Merlin Olsen?

In retrospect he wasn't such a great announcer. He never predicted plays before they happened.
