For the younger generations, I think the obvious answer is video games.

For others in the 80’s and 90’s it often meant spending your Sunday afternoon with a drunk guy who sounded sober, and a sober guy who sounded drunk.

He was a decent coach, too.

I honestly thought of the video game, broadcasting with Summerall, and Raiders within about a second.

In my 40’s, and he is closely associated with all 3 for me.

You’ve lived in the perfect Madden window. The video game first arrived when I was in college, I think.

I think of the pep talk he gave Rick Moranis in The Little Giants. I think he might have provided some input on the Annexation of Puerto Rico

I probably heard that over a thousand times playing that Madden game. I can still hear it crystal clear in my mind even though it’s been well over a decade since I’ve played it.

I think of the Cubs manager.
I don't play video games, and Coach/Announcer Madden has been out of sight for a while.
