NFL Reporter Don Banks Dead at 56
 

This guy was usually an interesting read. Apparently he died in his sleep while in Canton to cover the HOF ceremonies.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">We are brokenhearted over the loss of Don. Aside from being a phenomenal writer, he was a kind, caring &amp; loyal friend.

He was decent. Certainly better than anything currently at the star.

56 is YOUNG. RIP

Dang, was a pretty solid writer and that's pretty young.

Barely got an opportunity to order off the senior menu.

How much shit did he talk about Tyreek? Gotta know if I need to piss on his grave or not.

Way too young.....RIP

Wow, that's a shame. So young.
I enjoyed his writing for an overall NFL writer, (no specific team affiliation ala Peter King).

Damn straight!

RIP young man.

Man, 56 is way too young. RIP Mr Banks

Thats sad news. He did his job well. He did not favor the Chiefs, but he didn’t castigate us either. He stuck by his opinions and he was honest. good reporter. I loved reading his stuff. He was fair and he was neutral.

RIP Don. Hope you can enjoy Mahomes’ work from heaven.

56? I'm already past that. RIP

57!
