RIP. Loved his commentary. I only caught the last handful of years of it, but I also enjoyed my parents’ stories about how comically out of control Madden would get with his yellow tv highlighter.
 

My favorite story was one my mom would always retell and laugh at. The crew showed a sideline player who receiving water from a water boy in slow-mo. Madden said something like “And see here, this waterboy, he’s really good, a professional. Watch as he squeezes the bottle and fits the water right in between the face mask bars.”

The GOAT color analyst IMO.

Obviously a great coach before my time.

I remember playing Madden for the first time back when Deion was still with the Falcons. Probably Madden 93 or 94. Bought it pretty much every year for over a decade.

And who could forget his performance in Little Giants?
