The MOST SPEECHLESS MOMENT of John Madden's CAREER | Oilers @ Raiders (1971)

During a 1971 NFL game in week 9 between the Houston Oilers and Oakland Raiders, the Raiders led it convincingly 38-0 at the half. And for the first and only time ever, John Madden, who usually had a way with words and always knew what to say and how to say it, was left speechless. Not only did he not know what to say, but when he did finally speak, he didn't believe in his own message, and admitted to the press that it was completely made up.This is the story behind this remarkable moment in the Hall of Famer John Madden's legendary NFL career

Good homage to John Madden, JG9. I remember he hated to fly, so he travelled to the games in an RV. Drove all over the country. He really connected with folks, far and wide. This was his time - late December, cold, windy, and playoff football. R.I.P. John Madden.

R.I.P. John Madden. Without you, we would have never heard of the "Turducken".

[@msarzo]

I started paying close attention to football in 1987, right around the early stages of John Madden's broadcasting career and his partnership with Pat Summerall. Boy those two were a master class as you've highlighted on this channel before. Even though I strove for a destiny as a writer and not as a broadcaster, I was very much taken with Madden's obvious love of and enthusiasm for the game even when I didn't necessarily get the "Boom," "whap," or "doink" noises or some of his silly analysis (Troy Aikman's four-day beard during the 1995 NFL season, anyone?). He had a way of explaining things that a layman could understand. Even years after he and Summerall retired, I can still hear their voices in my head doing NFL games both real and imaginary. They were both that resonant. May they both rest in peace.

[@nasetvideos]

Beautiful video. Madden was truly a legend. Phenomenal video and so well done. Outstanding job

[@jtdavis62]

As a 9-year-old, I attended the Raiders' previous game at Tulane Stadium in New Orleans, where the Saints, led by QB Ed Hargett, rallied in the 4th quarter to tie the mighty Raiders 21-21. It was one of the first pro games I attended.

[@kevinwhitfield5370]

RIP John Madden. Even if you didn't know anything about football or had never seen a game before, when Madden was on the broadcast, you would learn a lot from it. He explained everything perfectly.

[@robertkeefer1552]

"Tastes great, less filling!" RIP HOF John Madden.

What a pity John Madden will never hear that shopworn "spike the ball on every play" meme ever again. Rest In Peace, Coach Madden. 🏈

Him and Pat Summerall are still the best sports broadcast duo ever. RIP to both.

John Madden is one of three coaches, Vine Lombardi and George Allen are the other two, to coach more than ten seasons and never have a losing record.

[@tygrkhat4087]

So far with 15 seasons, neither has Mike Tomlin. However, the last two games will make or break Tomlin in that regard.

Getting old truly sucks. But Madden made being a fan of this game fun as hell. I think I only seen him coach 1 or 2 seasons, so I really can't speak on that facet. But as a commentator, there was nobody better. Summerall and Madden were an epic team in the booth. There's reason to believe the two of them are probably in the booth up there somewhere. And many Holy Rollers for eternity, John. RIP.

Bring back the Houston Oilers. Tennessee Titans are not the Oilers and they don't count. Bless you in Heaven John Madden.

Haven't the titans had more success? If anything get rid of the Texans or cowboys

[@donparisheo]

@@Giantsfanlewis Well they reached the Super Bowl, however Oilers fans had an emotional attachment to them despite ripping our hearts out. I don't feel any connection to thee new uniforms and the state of Tennessee. I don't feel anything for the Texans either. I fell in love with the Oilers and the Titans and Texans feel like an arranged marriage.

[@Giantsfanlewis]

@@donparisheo I'd enjoy the oilers coming back, though as I mentioned, the Texans would make more sense to break up/rename. The Titans have made a legacy for themselves in Tenn and the Texans are a garbage organization from the top down that needs a restart. But I do get what your saying

[@donparisheo]

@@Giantsfanlewis Yes I would be cool with a rebranding of the Texans to the Oilers. Ideally I would like to get back the records and have Tennessee begin with becoming the Titans. Houston never stopped loving the Oilers...the problem was Bud Adams.

[@wualli2494]

Maybe he should have thought of something because after that great performance they lost the following 3 games and got eliminated from 1971 Playoffs. The only fly in their ointment from 1967 till 1977. Anyway may John Madden be resting in peace.

[@johnliberty3647]

This video tells you all about John Madden which is honesty. Madden knew the game was over with a 38-0 halftime lead so why give a phony speech about how the Oilers could come back.

Tell madden it wasn't a fumble.

Summary: 1971; Oilers were bad, Raiders were good, Raiders lead 38-0 at Halftime, Madden has trouble giving advice at halftime hope I saved you 12 minutes
