NFL legend John Madden died Tuesday morning at the age of 85, the league announced in a statement.
“On behalf of the entire NFL family, we extend our condolences to Virginia, Mike, Joe and their families,” NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said in a statement. “We all know him as the Hall of Fame coach of the Oakland Raiders and broadcaster who worked for every major network, but more than anything, he was a devoted husband, father and grandfather.
“Nobody loved football more than Coach. He was football. He was an incredible sound board to me and so many others. There will never be another John Madden, and we will forever be indebted to him for all he did to make football and the NFL what it is today.”
John was a legendary Coach and Broadcaster who just had his football special aired named “All Madden” on Fox Christmas Day. All Madden will be available on a variety of streaming platforms including ESPN+ and Peacock. If you don’t have or aren’t interested in a subscription with either of those services, the documentary will also be available for free on Tubi Jan 3rd, 2022.
