RIP to Coach Madden even though that was probably the 3rd thing he was known for after his iconic video game and excellent announcing career.

Stuff like that Madden doc would usually sit on my DVR for weeks before I watched it but for some reason I went ahead and watched it this weekend and it's probably why the news that he passed hit me in a way I wouldn't have expected. He seemed old and not as with it in the doc but not like a guy who would may be gone tomorrow.

Between being a great coach, broadcaster and the video games, what one man has done more for the popularity of the NFL than John Madden?

The work Steve Sabol put in for NFL Films is probably the closest.

Spent many hours playing the Madden games growing up and threw my controllers in frustration too. Especially that one time when I lost the SB to the Buffalo Bills of all teams when the CPU went into God mode during the fourth quarter. That was 20 years ago and I'm still bitter about it.

A legend. It’s crazy thinking how I knew who Madden was as a young black boy in the hood. His games probably kept a lot of us out of trouble


My stepdad use to whoop my ass on Madden. He was a beast. Always playing in tournaments or building dynasties. Really one of the few things we ever bonded over

He (and maybe Steve Sabol) might be the greatest ambassador the NFL's ever had.

Listening to the local morning sports radio show and there've been quite a few calls from people who happened to meet/run into him randomly. Sounds like he was a down-to-earth, genuinely good person, too.

RIPower to the Oracle of Oakland.

 

[Tribal Outkast]

Spent the whole drive talking about him

This takes me back! Man I really took them for granted.. I was a little kid and Madden was the guy. Nobody is ever touching Madden and Summerall. R.I.P. coach!

 

[Bless't]

R.I.P John Madden.

A true ambassador for the sport I and so many love.
