He was still alive? 

I loved the guy and thought he was great for the game.  But I also thought he had been dead for many  years.

He, along with Summerall, are the best commentating duo ever,imo.

RIP to the legend.

His 1976 Super Bowl Championship team was amazing!  His Raiders teams were dominant in the 60s and 70s.  Still a lot of his players around, many of them are Hall of Famers.  Hope they get to speak at his memorial service.

RIP John

Madden gained fame in a decade-long stint as the coach of the renegade Oakland Raiders, making it to seven AFC title games and winning the Super Bowl following the 1976 season. He compiled a 103-32-7 regular-season record, and his .759 winning percentage is the best among NFL coaches with more than 100 games.

Damn I didn’t know he was that good of a coach

R.I.P. John Madden. His passing gives me a deep feeling of sadness. Madden to me represented what football is all about. He was a living legend as a coach, announcer and all round football commentator. Plus, he had a great love of the sport,its players and fans. He will truly be missed.

Oh yeah, John Madden was the best in his day.

Raiders were the winningest team (of all the teams in professional sports) back in Madden's time.

As a Panthers fan it is jaw dropping to view the Raiders W/L record for their first 25 years in comparison to our own.

Going to put some Tinactin on tonight in his honor. 

All kidding aside, I might boot Madden up for the first time in years in his honor. Countless hours playing those games and they truly helped me get into football.

I’m a bit late but RIP sir.  We poked fun but you were always a good sport.  We miss you in the booth.  Say hi to Pat when you see him.

RIP to a legend, and icon.  I would like to see the NFL create a Madden-esque logo similar to the Jerry West NBA logo.
