OT: RIP, Ed Littler

[mt_slothmore]

I'm not sure how many of you are from Hastings or Central Nebraska, but longtime KHAS/Channel 5 sports director Ed Littler passed away yesterday from a bout with COVID....one of the quirkier guys you'd ever come across but had a heart of gold and loved local sports like none other...Godspeed, Eddie L

You were already an insufferable douche when you stuck to sports. If you want to gasbag about politics and your numerous other grievances, take it to the Open Scrolls.

WTF? Stop being a douchebag.

Exactly....

At age 70, lived a long life and sounds like he loved what he did. As far as the cause of his death, if he was healthy or in poor health, as long as his death isn’t used for the debate about Covid, then it should be left as is.

Who was the old KHAS sports anchor back in the sixties and seventies? I think his name was Dave Hill, but I am not sure. He signed off by saying "Good sporting to you". I am so far out of the loop I just discovered that KHAS Channel 5 has not been a NBC affiliate since 2013. (my activities when I am back in Nebraska are mostly outside or those with a beer in my hand. TV has zero priority).
