RIP John Madden. just read that John Madden has died at age 85. It is hard to overstate what he did for the game of professional football. I loved watching and listening to him.

I once had a 15 minute talk with him… he is the same guy in person that you would think.
Christmas Day they had a special on him, and I don’t know how I forgot about watching it. When I get home I will have to try and stream it.

I liked him and learned from his broadcasts. Not just a rattle brain announcer.
I admired him for refusing to fly. He took Amtrak to most of the games he covered. Or was driven.

Years ago, he had a Greyhound trailways bus and driver assigned to him, instead of the “Americruiser” logo with the American flag, the front entrance it was the “Maddencruiser” with the flag. |
