RIP John Madden

RIP... John Madden

 

[DraftNerd]

Jesus Christ. He’s up there pretty well in age. But, I’m still shocked.

RIP to an absolute and complete legend!!

Sad news.

I don't think I'd ever noticed that The Mick takes him deep while batting lefty-on-lefty, he doesn't even use his switch hit advantage

Mick doesn’t even step into it either.

The knees were aching, or he was hammered.

I was thinking that may have been why he hit lefty, maybe his old parts just moved better from that side of the plate at that point. Plus it's not like Paul was gonna throw him a big 12 to 6 curve with a Spaldeen anyway.

103-32-7 is unreal.

Paul had a decent arm on him for a little guy.

That first one Mick couldn’t catch up to.

Gonna see if I can parlay this into some pity sex from the wife.

I'm sure this would make John proud.

Grew up with Madden and Summeral in the 80’s and 90’s. Guy literally lived 4 lives…player, coach, announcer, video game icon. He lived a great life. RIP

I gotta be honest, I thought he'd passed already. Mandela Effect, maybe?

Best coach evah. RIP

That wasn't him, that is Harambe that you are thinking of

Also just to clarify, obviously this was responding to your "Best coach evah" designation

 

[packerzrule]

Wow I watched that special on him Christmas Day. What a guy RIP BOOM

Me too. The sports world lost a larger than life figure.

Godspeed John. Thanks for the memories.

He'd been out of the public eye for the last several years so you're probably not alone in thinking that. Watching the All Madden documentary that Fox aired on Christmas was the first I've seen him on TV in quite awhile. In a way, that documentary was good timing. He got to sit down and watch all these people sing his praises and say how much he meant to them right before he passed.

Fell down a rabbit hole of watching/listening to some old Madden songs on their respective main menus and man those games into the mid-2000s were good as fuck. Kind of ironic actually that not long after he retired the franchise went down the shitter.

I know he didn't have much to do with that, but legend still.

Holy crap! Which one of you looks like Madden?

RIP even people who know nothing of football know Madden's name
