A true NFL legend.
As a coach, with the Raiders, pure passion!!!! Al “just win baby” Michaels, hired the 32 year old Madden as head coach, and never looked back.
The greatest era of NFL football, Madden coaching Kenny “the snake” Stabler, with plays like Dave Casper’s “Ghost To The Post.”
Man, lucky to grow up in that time.
As an announcer, felt like he was your big uncle, eating a pastrami on rye in the arm chair next to you in your own living room, calling the plays with a football acumen larger than the game itself.
RIP, John.
