John Madden has passed at 85. The NFL voice of my formative years.

 

RIP to a great one.

Came here to post this. Madden 92 for sega. Best game ever.  
 

at the end of the game the team with the most points on the board is going to win.

john madden

 

Goat of nfl broadcasters. 
 

He’s eating a turducken right now probably.

Damn. Just the other day I was reminded that he was still alive. I guess he had crossed into "is that dude still kicking?" territory for me. 

Seems that he kept fairly quiet in his last years. 

Wow just watched the special Saturday, figured there was a reason for it.

Awesome life

Damnit! I just watched his special they did! RIP! What an original in the best way! Damn…

He looked pretty damn good for 85 whenever that was filmed. 

Good memories watching / listening to him call Cowboys games back when they were good…

Might have been nostalgia or the whiskey I was sipping but was a very emotional watch for me.

Up on the big gridiron in the sky running the annexation of Puerto Rico with The Snake at the helm.

The NFL announced that Madden died unexpectedly Tuesday morning.

"Unexpectedly?"  He was 85.  And consumed 6-legged turkeys and shit like that.

 

Loved his chalkboard -- one of the first broadcasters to really break down the game for fans.

RIP coach.  Too young to have seen him coach, but he was the voice of the NFL for the better part of my life.  Hope they are able to ship his bus into the great beyond.

Retired from coaching at 42? Then talked into broadcasting where he became a legend. Anyone of us would have made a deal with the devil for that life.

Just had his documentary air....The ultimate Madden curse....

But in all seriousness, R.I.P. Did not know him as a coach. But for his games and being paired with Summerall.

Turducken!

The funeral procession from the church to the cemetery will be led by the Madden Cruiser converted into a hearse.

When my grandfather passed at 86, my mom said, "if he hadn't smoked since he was 12..."

Um, I think he did pretty well.

Fuck

 

RIP big man. You were the real voice of football for me growing up

Hey, the offensive linemen are the biggest men on the field, they're bigger than everybody else, and that's what makes them the biggest men on the field."

A giant. To think he retired from coaching at 42 then spent the next 30+ years having fun & making gobs of money.

I'd almost drink a Miller Lite in his honor but that's just goat piss.

"Now look right here - you got the hearse coming in down the slot and there's a spectator in the way. Here comes the police escort - boom. Clears the way and lets that convoy get into the end zone."

He’ll be commentating the playoffs with his buddy Pat Summerall this year. RIP.

Madden is grinning ear to ear, he looks like a slit watermelon! 

All in all this football season has fucking sucked. 

“Get your big butt outta here!”

Madden is definitely going to heaven. He was already gifted with the Holy Roller.

From the bottom of my heart, thanks for the memories John.

News hit me harder than I thought, especially after the special that I watched with my dad, whose also close to the end. Great watch, and RIP to a legend.

One of a kind.

When he said mother bucket I about lost it 😆

NFL Today with Musberger, Phyllis George, Irv Cross, and Jimmy the Greek, and Madden and Summeral announcing games will always be the two things that I'll remember about Sundays.

Oh, and 60 Minutes intro after the afternoon game on CBS.

He and Summerall will never be equaled as a broadcasting team. RIP

His overall record as an NFL coach, regular season and playoffs, was 112-39-7. Good lord.

RIP
