BOOM!!!! As a Stiller fan, I always liked Madden. The best of times. 1970’s Steelers vrs Raiders. Real football.
Sad day.

Just this week I was wishing he would make a guest appearance in the booth.

Football was never the same without him.

"Refrigerator Perry got the nickname "Biscuit" because when he stepped on the scale his teammate said that guy "is a biscuit away from 350."

RIP John Madden

Madden was to the NFL what John Lennon was to music......adding flavor.


At least the impersonators live on.

Well Pat and John were a great team and now they are reunited. They'll be missed but never forgotten.
