OT: RIP Clinton Grybas 

Post#1 » by blkout » Sat Jan 5, 2008 8:43 pm

I figured I'd post this since there's alot of Aussies hanging around. For those who don't know, Clinton was a commentator both for AFL and also the NBL years ago. He also hosted Sunday Basketball which is what I remember him from best. Cause of death so far is unknown, the Australian says he may have fallen while sleep walking. Either way, he was one of my favourite commentators by far.

Its very sad when anyone dies.

I believed he turned down a big contract to work for ESPN a couple of years back.

RIP. He was a great commentator for any sport. Also a great bloke. I worked at Fox Footy for a year (the last year it was around) and whenever I saw him he was really nice and seemed like a genuinely good person (unlike Tiff Cherry and Wayne Carey)
