Longtime NBC Sports executive Don Ohlmeyer has died at the age of 72, his friends and family announced Sunday. Ohlmeyer was an early Monday Night Football producer in the ’70s and is credited with invented the phrase “Must-See TV” for NBC.

Simpson, a longtime Ohlmeyer friend, during the former football star’s double-murder trial.
