He died today at 85. I have to admit I didn’t know he was still alive. However he was the best football analyst ever, and he and Pat Summerall were the best broadcasting team ever even though Pat was apparently a raging alcoholic. Howard Cosell was up there but Madden had no equal. And he was even more likeable because of his eccentricities. He wouldn’t fly and instead had his own bus which he used to travel from game to game. And he always had a turkey on thanksgiving that had five or six legs and was a fan of the turducken. I would say that he will be missed and he will but can’t really say that now since I didn’t know he was still alive.
