Loving the John Madden love today. He was great for the game of football, sports broadcasting, and even video games. But most of all, he was a Raider 🏴‍☠️☠️

    Raiders should be the third team to get an annual game, the new Black Friday game seems fitting tbh

      “One butt cheek equals two feet”

      On Tuesday morning it was all we could talk about at school.

    Just did a leadership presentation for one of my MBA courses on John Madden. I dressed like him and everything and used the whiteboard with X’s and O’s—lots of “Booms” and “Bams” of course—to discribe some of the leadership concepts he embodied. The whole room was into it because John’s energy was there through the impact he left on me. Afterword, an exchange student raised their hand and said they were never interested in American football, but now had to check it out! I responded, “That’s the power of John Madden.”

    What an amazing man he was. The voice of many of our childhoods. Thanks JM, you’re missed greatly.

    They just did a tribute at halftime of 49ers game on him. His goodwill towards Darryl Stingley from over the years after Tatum’s hit on Stingley!!! Very good piece on Coach Madden’s big heart!!!
