LOL. Same here. I asked my son if he was still alive and then had to do a search to see that he was.

Enrique Granados, the most famous Spanish pianist and composer of the past 200 years, refused to tour because of a pathological fear of being on sea going vessels.
Finally, he was convinced to do a tour of North America. He spent several months touring the U.S., was tremendously successful, played with all the great orchestras, before returning to Europe in 1914.
He shipped out on the S.S. Lusitania, got torpedoed and died within sight of Ireland.

I now assume the reference to “unexpectedly” means they died as a result of the Fauci vaccine.When someone is 85, how unexpected is that person's death? People of that age were dying "unexpectedly" with regularity long before the covid vaccine. John Madden never impressed me as a bastion of good health. He will be sadly missed by me. He really was a treat to listen to.

I can’t find the source, but Madden allegedly also said, with regard to the refs, “let’s not forget, that there are THREE teams out on the field.” RIP

I caught the replacements while doing some Christmas wrapping. He was so funny. I love the line
“I love it when a fat guy scores. Because it is followed by a fat guy dance!”
I enjoyed listening to him call games and watching him turn the screen yellow with the telestrater
RIP coach.

The NFL should name the Super Bowl after him.
Madden brought so much to the game and made millions of people who otherwise didn't follow football enjoyed it.

One of my favorite coaches. Great football when he coached the Raiders vs the Broncos.

There was a full page newspaper ad warning people about that voyage of the Lusitania.

There was this one Packers game Madden/Summerall were doing, way back in the 90s.
One of the Packers defensive lineman had a caboose the size of Kim Kardashian and Madden starts casually talking about it and then drew a yellow circle around it. It was hilarious and weird at the same time.

To the man who literally made the NFL in his own image.
Was it the jab, or the depression of seeing what this man’s league has become?
Boom, Mr. Madden. Boom to you, Sir!
RIP - a forever fan (almost in tears).
I’m OUT.

I get that. But the past few weeks I have been watching a local paper that has had a few 30-somethings dying “suddenly and unexpectedly”. Obits are unilaterally stating these people died suddenly and unexpectedly. Coincidence? Perhaps. But it strikes me as vaccine related.

He made more money on video game royalties than he ever did coaching
