Damn! FOX had an
excellent documentary on him Saturday:
All Madden. I caught only the last 45 minutes, I believe it was 90 minutes in total. Now I wonder when it was filmed because he was seated in front of a big screen, watching the various tributes and then would make comments periodically. I loved when he and Pat Summerall (sp) called games. Really, that was when football was worth watching. No colors, just 'teams', no freaking kneeling. Players had class (some did).
RIP Mr. Madden. You kept my interest in the sport alive.

I just texted my mom because we had watched that documentary about Madden last weekend. I said to her at the time, "Is he dead? Because they're all talking like he's dead..." And now he's dead. Weird.
I still laugh when I recall the Cardinals game Madden called when one of the AZ runningbacks (can't remember his name now, as they all have come and gone so quickly over the years) lost his dreadlock when one of the Carolina Panthers yanked it out. Madden diagrammed the entire incident with his electronic pen and played it all back in slo-mo. It was hysterical.
