My children own the entire Little House on the Prairie series on DVD.

One of my favorite lines was when his son says, "My dad doesn't know anything about football."

Olsen was great as a player, a commentator, and throughout the rest of his career.

I like listening to him while watching some of the NFL classic games on occasion. I think I saw him play with the Rams in the Kingdome once, though I remember him best from his voice and commentary. RIP, Merlin.

We just got a new young Cat. Maybe we'll name him 'Merlin'. :)
