“I think.. If you come back in another life, I’d like to be either a blimp or a seagull”
-John Madden

[sports]

John Madden is everything that football was all about. His personality, his analysis, his use of the telestrator and his sense of humor is something that we’ll miss

[OldHeadLoot]

“Don’t worry about the horse being blind, just load the wagon.” Legendary

[predetermine]

RIP John Madden. He’s living happily as a blimp or seagull now.

[TheNewsstandMan]

Emigrated to the US from Sweden in ‘91. Never saw a football game before I got here. By the end of that first season/year ‘92, I knew all the rules and all the players after watching every Sunday on TV. All because of this guy, John Madden.

Madden was a incredible man he could announce in a way that would make everyone understand football

[goldenraven]

Mind-blowing stat about Madden I didn't realize until recently: he coached against 9 other HoF head coaches and had a winning record against every single one of them! 36-16 all time against HoF head coaches. He was a football genius yet made the game seem so simple and accessible with his analysis.

“I’d like to be a blimp or a seagull in another life” Never will such words be uttered by another announcer and sound normal

[stevenmcnabb]

2:52 "That's the camera. That's the thing you take the pictures with." Madden wasn't just commentating, he was teaching us.

[Pigzit]

John Madden was not only an incredibly talented coach but also a hilarious and endearing individual. That doesn’t come often in this business, losing him really put a damper on all of sports.

[jefferyhyatt]

8:20 "This guy is a very good coach". Madden was prophetic and wise af.

[jadenmolter-castiglioni]

What I wouldn't give to hear a modern day Eagles vs Cowboys game with him and Pat Summerall. Rest easy, John.

[jabocelt]

Madden was the perfect commentator for the beer guzzling NFL fan. He kept it at a level you could understand and relate to after a 6 pack.

[koselig]

man lived and breathed football. glad i got to listen to him growing up as a commentator. RIP

[daffyrwt]

13 mins of sound bites is not enough, just hearing his calls makes me miss that whole era of football (at least the part that I watched). What a legend.

[batmanforpresident]

R.I.P. John Madden.
A genius NFL coach and true gentleman.

[richied]

Loved how he also focused on the battles in the trenches - keying in on offensive and defensive linemen and giving them their just recognition while celebrating smashmouth football.

[kilojayfalcon]

Madden wholesomely reacting to the Blue Angels and other planes flying, and to the dogs on the sidelines, man what i would do to be the other commentator being blessed with having a charismatic moment on air with John Madden.

[Super_Channel_O]

Never has someone that knew so much, managed to sound at times like they knew so little

Always loved John Madden, the best to ever do it

[spryfolII]

Madden and Summerall were the absolute in broadcast excellence. I couldn't imagine Madden being as good with anyone else, and that includes Vin Scully and Al Michaels. They brought the best every week, every season, and I'm glad we get to relive these special moments.
