BobbyC81 Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 I had recorded the All Madden documentary from Saturday and just watched it. Then I got online and saw he had died. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 Be on time, pay attention and play like hell when I tell you to. That has always stuck with me. I'd have run through a wall for that guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyDays Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 (edited) The best thing I can say about John Madden is that he revolutionized two different professions. He hung it up as the greatest coach of all time and went on to be the greatest sports commentator of all time. Two legends built by one man.

Albany,n.y. Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 Those of us who went to Jim Kelly's Hall of Fame induction got to see Madden present Dave Casper. I remember seeing him riding in the parade when we got there in the morning & hearing him present Casper later that day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Success Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 He basically reinvented sports broadcasting. His enduring passion for the game was always at the forefront of his commentary. R.I.P. to one of the greats. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuvian Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 I am sad for myself and the many great football memories and expressions that I have enjoyed because of him. It just seems a short time ago that he was calling games. He positively influenced the game in so many ways. But I am happy for him and his family because by all accounts he had a great life.

StHustle Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 This is why he shouldn't have watched his special! Probably saw with his own eyes he had nothing left to do on this planet!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsbackto81 Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 His passion for coaching and winning was unparalleled. So much so he had to retire due to stress induced ulcers and other health issues. He was as fiery as they came on the sidelines. Legend.

RobbRiddick Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 Seems to hit harder when it's someone who was so full of life. From a selfish point of view, this is another part of your own youth dying as his voice represented so many hours watching football as a kid. Sometimes I go back and watch clips from the 80s so I can hear the likes of Madden, Summerall, Enberg, Olsen and all those other guys. In that respect they live forever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMF2006 Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 I was watching his special Christmas Day and I was thinking that it was nice to do this while he was still alive Then I was thinking he probably doesn't have much time left on this planet and might die soon. Just a few days later and he is gone RIP John My handle is JMF as in John Madden Football the 2006 is when my best friend died he loved playing that game against me...they live on in every post I make. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
