I can't believe John Madden just left and stayed away from football 100%

[NYC Rebel]

Dude was old on the first cover of madden back in 1988

I’m “rocking with Madden Football on the Commodore 64” old.

 

[El Poyo Loco]

Madden is not very fond of him.

Caliendo admitted when he finally bumped into Madden he was shook of Madden. Madden is like 6'4 and he gave him the

 

[jadillac]

A John Madden commercial!

 

[Juggalo Fred]

it's other people's turn

Joe buck and Troy aikmen and tony romo etc. Are all trash


Give me Madden and the ghost of Pat Summerall

 

[Reggie]

Madden did more than enough to not have to be on TV anymore. A legend in coaching the booth and video games

 

[JoseLuisGotcha]

The Ace commercials were classic

 

[Jerz-2]

Madden and drunk ass Summerall was the Aikman-Buck/ Romo-Nance / Collingsworth-Al Micheals of its day

Them fools WISH they were at the level of Madden/Summerall.

But I get what you're saying....

Like no guest appearances, no satellite interviews, no social media team, not even a once a year Thanksgiving game appereance.

Dude was the most popular football media figure for so many years and just went off the grid

I kinda respect it, but wouldn't mind a guest appearance

its cuz he's old as shyt now. he can't do tv anymore.

 

[Bboystyle]

I legit looked him uo on Thanksgiving day. Saw he was old as shyt in a sitting walker chair with brusing all over his hands. Hes done.

Glad he still alive though. There was nothing like him on MNF when he joined Al Michaels.

John Madden is old af and near the end. He probably has dementia, Alzheimer’s and other shyt

It’s probably gotten to the point where kids born in the mid 2010s and later don’t know who John Madden is.

I bet when he passes (hopefully not for a while), people are gonna be like, “ so THATS why it’s called Madden?!”

Mid 2010’s? That’s like 5, 6, 7 year olds lol

Jits born in the 2000’s don’t really know who Madden is

Them fools WISH they were at the level of Madden/Summerall.

But I get what you're saying....

This intro by Summerall at like 2:50

 

[dh86]

Still alive and very with it

 

[Jerz-2]

They were great. The only one that I think is close is Keith Jackson and Bob Griese, largely on the strength of Jackson. I watched way more college football than pro growing up and Jackson is a part of the soundtrack of my childhood.

"Whooooaa, Nelly!"

"Whooooaa, doctor!"

Keith Jackson is the GOAT college announcer.

Musberger and my guy Gus are great, too, but Keith Jackson is the STANDARD for college football announcing.

 

[Deflatedhoopdreams]

Dang, you're right

Damn he is nursing home status. He probably has dementia

 

[desjardins]

It’s crazy the amount of people who probably play Madden and know nothing about him
Not even the broadcasting
