There was a special on him on Christmas Day on ESPN.
Glad I recorded it as I was in/out of the room so missed some of it. He was the voice of the NFL as far as I was concerned. Like the special said, if it was an important game, Madden was on the announcer team. RIP Coach. You will be missed but never forgotten.

RIP.
Never met him, but really appreciated him as a coach and in his post-coaching TV activities. Pretty sure my cousin met him at some point when she worked for the Raiders. Pretty sure on of my "racing" contacts met him-- he was producer of EA's Madden game from 1990 onward. Likely when I speak to my cousin and racing friend, they will both remember Mr. Madden as a great person and ambassador for NFL football.

Madden had highest winning percentage of any NFL coach in history (over 100 games)
in 10 years he won more games than any other raiders coach Last edited by red 928; 12-28-2021 at 09:47 PM.. |

Madden was an icon, and just a great guy according to everyone who knew him. Ironically, he was talked about a bunch by the TV football guys this past weekend.
RIP Coach... |
