John Madden’s voice takes me back to my childhood like nothing else does.

Surprised it didn’t get released earlier if he died this morning
I'm more freaked by the All Madden documentary coming out 3 days ago. Could be coincidence but that's really weird timing.

BOOM

He’s one of those guys who made the sport he was involved with better and more interesting. Sort of like Bill Walton with basketball.

I wonder if EA will retire his name from their game? They’ll have to do some tribute in the opening for hun at least.

My wife asked me about him last week and I was surprised to learn he was still alive. RIP, he was a big voice throughout my youth and teen years

As soon as I saw it was coming out I thought the end must be near. RIP to an absolute Legend.

RIP to an absolute legend. People throw around that term loosely but he was so important to the game in so many facets. He will never be forgotten

I’ll have to rewatch the replacements.

Some great Madden-Summerall commentary in that movie.

Damn.
May have to dust off the old Super Nintendo and play this in his honor.

There was a thread about Madden the other day. I made this post:

If I made a list of guys I never expected to live to be 85, Madden is at the top of the list.

But God bless him. A true GOAT


A bit eerie. RIP.

As most have already said, Summerall and Madden were the best. I used to get so amped as a kid when they would broadcast one of my Redskin games in the early 80's. Madden would talk about the hogs all game
