RIP John Madden

Ughh :/

The Autumn Wind is a pirate.
Blustering in from sea,
With a rollicking song, he sweeps along,
Swaggering boisterously.

His face is weather beaten.
He wears a hooded sash,
With a silver hat about his head,
And a bristling black mustache.

He growls as he storms the country,
A villain big and bold.
And the trees all shake and quiver and quake,
As he robs them of their gold.

The Autumn Wind is a Raider,
Pillaging just for fun.
He'll knock you 'round and upside down,
And laugh when he's conquered and won.

85, I'd take that. Guy was very entertaining and, for a while, a darn good coach.

Sad news, he’ll be calling games with Summerall again up in that booth in the sky. They were the best.

I get goosebumps everytime I hear it.

Madden and Summerall did a lot of Giants games over the years. They were the best.

He was simply just an unpretentious accessible Everyman. He never took himself seriously, but he took his job incredibly seriously. Always a total joy.

He made football so much fun due to his force of personality. I miss him already.

I think its pretty obvious who gets the cover of next year's madden game.

much like Dicky V in college hoops, he was THE voice of the game. So likable. Special guy. Never be another.
