Even though he never got over the Immaculate Reception, RIP John. Say hello to Pat for everybody.
 
Get the **** out of here. I thought he passed a long time ago.
 
Pretty cool story about the kind of guy John was:

 



Legends marveling at a legendary play.
 
Well St. Peter which way was it......... sorry John you are not gonna like the answer. RIP John. Didn't really know you as a coach but enjoyed your broadcasts. I could be mistaken but wasn't the last one the Steelers over the Cards? Liked his video games too. Played them like a madman in university.

Yep. And I liked how on the final TD call during the replay Madden made sure to say "great control by Ben".
 
Like a kid in a candy store with remarkable humility, but he sure as hell knew what he was doing:

And he didn't make gripe about the second foot down in a way that we ****** all know just about every other announcer would. That goes down as my biggest night in pro sports. **** if I could go back and have a ticket. Springsteen is always a top 3 favorite too. But on the good side I was in the hospital 5 days later (and I know it sounds stupid but I damn near went sepsis and died) with my gall bladder taken out so that might have been ****** to be out of country for.
 
Brought life to the announcer booth .......

Would love to hear a version of John's halftime speech to our team had he been coaching the KC game last week

RIP Bigman Bigpersonality
 
Hated him and his team, loved him as a color man.
"To beat the other team you've got to score more points than they do."
 
Now John can pester Jesus about Brett Favre
 
R.I.P John.

For those who didn't get see the ALL MADDEN Doc on Christmas Day. well worth the watch. heck I forgot all about the All Madden Team. I looked forward to that more then the pro bowl players.
 
Condolences and blessing his / their way.

I liked his analizing while drawing on the screen..............




Salute the nation
