Michael Arthur Haffner^[1] (July 7, 1942 – October 22, 2024) was an American professional football player who was a wide receiver for four seasons with the Denver Broncos (1968–1970)^[2] and Cincinnati Bengals (1971).^[3] He played college football for the UCLA Bruins. As of 2017^[update]'s NFL off-season, he still held the Broncos rookie franchise record^{[citation needed]} for yards per reception at 30.5, for a 4 reception, 122 yard performance on December 14, 1968, against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Life and career

After retirement, Haffner was a color commentator for the NFL on NBC. He is most noted for being the sideline reporter who inadvertently captured on his live microphone a two‐word expletive uttered by Terry Donahue who was voicing his disapproval over a Bruins interception being nullified due to a penalty in NBC's Christmas Day telecast of the 1978 Fiesta Bowl. Haffner and Donohue had been roommates at UCLA.^[4]

Haffner died in Las Vegas on October 22, 2024 at the age of 82.^[5]^[6]
