    I saw it too and wondered if his health was failing. Always remember the sweat races in the offensive linemens' uniform pants, among a million other little things he did to make the games more fun.

    RIP

    I hated the Raiders as a kid.

    Madden was the only exception. RIP.

    A friend of mine produced & directed it.
    He did a good job... made me proud.

    Madden was legend.

    Sad news. It was always fun to see memes of him stating obvious things.

    RIP John.

    They ought to have a separate HOF for guys who had the impact John Madden did. He made football understandable to millions. He will be missed.

    Sometimes I wish I still lived in an era where celebrating yourself like an idiot would immediately result in getting your ass kicked.

    Pretty sure his game was the 5th football video game I played after 10 Yard Fight, Tecmo Bowl, Tecmo Super Bowl, and Joe Montana Sports Talk Football. I remember loving how the ambulance would run over everyone in its path when players got injured.

    Sad. Makes me feel even older as I remember him coaching.

    He really stayed out of the limelight after he retired. Didn’t hear much from him.
