    As a tribute to Bill, ESPN2 will air the Sports Heaven doc tonite. Bill loved that this story was told and thrilled with how it turned out. It captures the amazing origin story.

    It has been a great joy to be friends with Bill Rasmussen for 46 years.  An insightful and curious entrepreneur who had eternal optimism and a keen sense of humor.  I have Bill to thank for my career, as do thousands of others. More via @ESPNPR: bit.ly/4geS8Ix
