Love John Madden, but he was a better coach than commentator.

I grew up watching him with Oakland (not my team) always had his tag on.
Glad I saw the fox special on Madden last weekend

It’s been years since I heard the story but...
One of his locker room speeches when firing up his players he shouted, “It doesn’t matter if the horse is blind, LOAD THE WAGON!” The players all jumped up and headed out the door with the exception of a couple who looked at their coach with a confused “Huh?...” look.

What an appropriate statement. It could also be said that usually the candidate with the most votes wins the election. 2020 proved that to be wrong.

I think madden and summerall are perhaps the best all times sportscasters. In the same echelon as Jim McKay.
Thanks for the great memory. Madden loved the game. You could here it in his voice.

Surely being featured on Fox isn’t that bad! ;)

A good man.
And 85 is a good run. And going suddenly is generally better than the alternative.
God bless him.

I lost two close buddies this year, my wife had a heart attack, and my oldest son was on life support day after Christmas. Wife and son are okay. Let this wretched year end already.

He did, however, pay attention in English class.

He did fly the entire time he was coaching until one bad flight and from then on he wouldn’t. It was in the fox special.

Well, he likely got another 40 years because he was able to walk away from coaching.
