He was a pretty good coach too, RIP John.
I got myself a seniors' GPS. Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination, it tells me why I wanted to go there.

85 is a pretty run. I would be happy with that.

Yes, he was the epitome of what one should strive to be in the football world!

Madden passing is truly the end of football as it should be. It’s symbolic of the death of real football. Couldn't agree more...

Kinda weird Fox had that Madden special on Sunday before the Packer game and he dies today. Did he go in the HOF as a broadcaster or a coach? I can see as a broadcaster but not a coach. That's what i was thinking too.
My fear of moving stairs is escalating!

I loved to watch him when he was the annouoncer for football. He would draw all those circles and lines. Out of all the announcers, he was my favorite. I also found it interesting that he refused to ever fly. Instead, he took his bus. Great man! RIP John.
Must be nice to eat ice cream as fast as you want and not have to worry about brain freeze.
