Loved Madden and Summerall. Best team for football broadcast ever. EVER. If they were doing it, it was a marquee matchup partly because of them. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/JgP1B4r.jpg) Greatest ever...😓

John Madden reminds me of John Candy in a roly poly way . . .
Didn't he hand out Turkey Leg awards for Thanksgiving Day games?

Dang, I hate to hear this. RIP to John. The sport has really slipped since he left commentating.

Damn,...
Thanks for the memories, Mr. Madden. You were one of the big voices of the game when it was still something that could be enjoyed as a diversion from daily life; the tail end of the golden years of the game. Thanks for the memories and RIP.

Aw man, I'm sorry to read this. John Madden truly loved the game of football. He had tons of charisma and great sense of humor.
I once met John Madden in the lounge of a fancy Las Vegas restaurant. Shook his catcher's mitt sized hand. Nice guy.
He was having cocktails with Jerry Tarkanian. Shouldn't judge a man by the company he keeps.
Not a real member - just an ordinary guy who appreciates being able to hang around and say something once in awhile.

I won't even watch the new NFL....this sucks...bad.
He was freaking great.
I watched football for 50 years until these liberal f u x took it over.
He was a legend.

I remember his Ray Guy story. I guess they were way ahead, playing in a dome. Ray said to him something like "I bet I can stick a ball in the rafters', John said go for it.
