BOOM (Madden)

[Surly Bevo 24695]

Damn, RIP big guy. A mainstay of my formative years as well

[ztejas 43262]

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.

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

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.

[conVINCEd 21468]

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.

[Dilligas 666]

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.

[Vic Mackey 46932]

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.

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.

[Laxtonto 11927]

Fuck

 

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

[Sgt Hulk 13644]

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."

[GhostOfTomJoad 9307]

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."

['stache 21757]

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! 

[UTEX_ME 4754]

All in all this football season has fucking sucked. 

[Jive Turkey 12568]

“Get your big butt outta here!”

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

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.

[Deej 76542]

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

[Jive Turkey 12568]

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

RIP
