He’s known in my generation because he’s the name and face of a top 5 video game franchise. He’s known in my dad generation for being one of the smartest, funniest, and energetic commentators ever. He’s known in my grandfathers generation for having the highest winning precentage for a head coach, and being one of the damn best at that. (His winning precentage is 75.9%) One of the role models and faces of the game, both irl and online. What a magnificent life and career. We will miss you, coach, commentator, and mascott. 🕊

You know life is so short in the moment in the twinkling of an eye boom we can be gone. It would be wise for you to consider what Jesus has to say and what he did for you because eternity is a long time to not spend it in heaven. Also spread the word about the truth about covid. The devil knows many live in fear of sickness and death so he manipulated the wicked throughout America and the world to use it as a weapon. The fearful who complied with the lies are the reason why this is happening! THEY opened THE DOOR TO TYRANNY and destruction. Thank God more people are waking up. These people deserve all the shame. I pray they learn from their time of humility from eating Humble Pie. to realize Jesus Christ is there lost souls only hope. The MSM and the wicked political class ran a psyop using covid! The wicked adults on the boat. Were so desperate for power, to get the captain they desire. They threw the children overboard. The wicked political class coordinated with the MSM and ran a psyop! Those who complied with these Wicked people's lies are part of the problem. As a result of the wicked and cowardly throughout America. the children are drowning in depression and drug use drug overdose and suicide. They are crying for help and yet the wicked throughout America ignore their cries. Jesus Christ hears their cries he will save them he will help them and deliver them from the evil of the older Generations in America. Who have caused more harm and problems than the Wimpy virus. The Lord will not allow these children to drown who the wicked were willing to suffocate. To push their warped ideologies and political destructive agenda. Is this guy falsely and msm...going to take responsibility for all the kids who have become depressed, drugged-out, drug slaves overdosed and suicidal? God will hold him accountable and all these Wicked Liars throughout the media and government! God will hold each and every one of them accountable all who refuse to repent will be locked down in Hell forever. This wicked falsely has TRIED to throw a blanket over truth and people's freedoms! the word of God teaches us that isolation is destruction. God teaches us that a cheerful heart is good medicine the word of God teaches us that he gave us a beautiful immune system that is boosted by fresh air and sunshine and eating healthy the word of God teaches us that we need to Fellowship we need to embrace we need to show up and this Wicca guy is going against everything that the word of God teaches as a result he has caused way more harm than the Wimpy virus! If he does not repent and stop with with what he's doing if he does not take responsibility for the hauntings cause God will shut his mouth! I cried to the Lord for the kids! I met a young man. who himself said he knew eight people they wanted to kill themselves. He told me he doesn't even recognize a lot of his friends because a lot of them have gotten lost and drugs he said they're like a bunch of zombies walking around. He said he's only one of few that haven't give in to the fear and to the be numbed by drugs. That's just one kid that's just one high school that's just one community. those are the ones he knows. God give voice to these young people who have been subjected to something they have nothing to do with . May God move adults by the Holy Spirit to give a platform to the skids to speak on behalf of those who are hurting on behalf of those who've been caught up in drugs. there are a lot of children who are feeling guilty for something they did not do is they are being treated like convicts because of a ninety-nine percent plus survival rate wimpy virus. Are being told that they can't do this so they can do that are being told to slap a slave mask on their being told that they need to live in fear every single day they are being told that they can't communicate with their friend there not being allowed to just be in the free flow of the daily breath that God gives to them. Thank God there are adult size who are opening that they're fear-mongering and they're being afraid of this wimpy virus has cause psychological damage the kids. There is hope thank you to squash this little boy that I was talking about has found Hope in Jesus one of his friends if it has experienced a miracle from Jesus Christ and he is seeing that there is hope in God and he's on a mission to spread that hope so thank God there is hope beyond the failures of the adults... through faith in Jesus Christ! Each and every adult that went along with the psychological operation is accountable to God they are accountable to God for all the fear-mongering they are accountable to God for each and every child that is found themselves to press drugged-out and suicidal they are accountable to God for all the lives they have ruined they can repent that is their only hope if you desire to be immune from hell you need to turn to Jesus Christ from your sins Jesus is the great physician who has the cure for your sinful condition!

I remember Madden saying that in years prior that when a player got his bell rung, the trainer would come over to the bench and hold two fingers (always two fingers) in the player's face and if the player responded "two", he would be cleared to go back into the game.

The commentary on the Deion Sanders/Emmitt Smith play from 0:55 to 1:11 was classic Summerall/Madden. Pat sets it up, John calls what the play will be, and Pat lets us watch it without talking over the play so we can see John was right. Short clip but a perfect illustration of why they were the best commentary team ever in sports. They belong to the ages now but no football fan will ever forget them.

"Bad news is his helmet came off ------- Good news is head was not in it" ha, one of my favorites. So many good ones to choose from. RIP to John! Salute to and from my older brother, too! He is not here anymore either, but we got to enjoy many, many fun times playing Madden over the years. I was a football nut as a kid, and some of my earliest memories were listening to Madden broadcast a game. He'll be missed for sure!

Having grown up in NJ, I had the luck and joy of seeing many a Giants game called by the Madden/Summerall team. The best.

Madden's TV career started with CBS. First, they got him a flat in Manhattan (Madden said Tiny Tim lived in his building). And since CBS was headquartered in NY, the head honchos decided to assign Madden mainly to cover the Giants. Years later, Madden said he was P.O.'d about that treatment b/c the Giants' were so terrible in those times. Well, New Yorkers certainly enjoyed Madden covering their team, but I would imagine CBS' national ratings suffered.

When I close my eyes and listen to Summerall and Madden, I think of all the Sundays and Thanksgivings with my late dad and grandfather and all the great games and amazing memories. RIP to the best to ever do it.
