RIP

Dang, back in the day, we only got AFL games on Sunday. Couple that with All Time great Freddie Biletnikoff catching passes from Darryl “the Mad Bomber” Lamonica, and later Kenny “Snake” Stabler, Jim Otto “Double Zero” at center, Ted “ The Stork“ Hendricks rushing the end, Big Art Shell pushing hard at OLine, Big Ben Davidson with the red handlebar ‘stache, and a genuine bad ace vibe from the team as a whole….
I was totally a Madden fan as a kid and thru later years.
RIP in peace Coach.

The All Madden show on Christmas was really good for those that missed it.
Glad he got to be a part of that documentary so he could see how much he affected football and others..
If you saw the Fox special on his last weekend, it was pretty clear he didn't look good.
No live interviews with him promoting. Very few clips of him speaking live, just him under a spotlight laughing. Appeared unhealthy. Suspect there will be a "was terminally diagnosed X months ago" statement leaked.

Another piece of the childhood gone. Was a great time to be a NFL fan. RIP coach.
Just watched the All Madden show Christmas Day. So many great tributes from so many of the game’s greatest players, coaches, broadcasters, owners .. plus his own family. Have loved playing his video game off and on since middle school. “Boom! He’s on his back!!”
He and Sumerall (sp?) were my favorite NFL broadcast duo.
That's not a duo dumbass. LolNow let's not get carried away...
Wow. Such a part of NFL History and a guy who helped make it so part of our culture.
Just a few days ago I looked it up because I thought he had died as well. Turned out he was still alive.....for a few more days anyway

Yeah, as soon as ads came out about the doc, you knew it was only a matter of time.
My favorite coach in any sport at any level. This is one of the few "celebrity" deaths that actually hurts. Dude was the greatest.
Why John Madden? Phucking not fair. You could have taken someone else. RIP
dude was 85 and lived on horse meat, that was a good life

Last thing I read about the man.

The day John Madden met the turducken
On a December day in 1996, a New Orleans butcher introduced a local-favorite dish to the legendary coach and broadcaster. Neither of their lives would be the same.
John and Pat were great, they were part of what made me love football. So many Sundays hearing them in the booth, they were entertaining even when the game was awful.
Godspeed Mr. Madden
Godspeed Mr. Madden
An absolute legend for the sport of football. RIP Mr. Madden. It’s a good opportunity to teach young kids what a passion he had for football.
Although Madden 2003 is rated as the best game of his franchise, I will always hold Madden 92 as the goat. As a youngster, the ambulance driving through the players after a vicious hit after Madden voicing the "Boom", was always the day's highlight. RIP Coach.
Dave Casper was one of my favorites as a little kid. He helped to define the position for years.
As a kid I couldn't wait for his All Madden Team shows. It was must watch TV, an hour long of him breaking down the best players in football and why they made his team.
I was a Washington fan and John loved Darrell Green back then. One year he was the only corner he put on his team so he could have 3 safeties that hit hard. He just circled half the field from the 50 to the goal line and stated that's where Green will cover everyone and you still can't get open or something along those lines. Great show.
Boom...... RIP
