No idea it looks like it’s been edited already. Got to assume a rival fan.

R.I.P. to a true legend and a person that has been synonymous with football even long after leaving the field and the booth. If I had a say in it, the next cover of Madden shouldn't be a question this year. I don't want any players on it, in honor of his memory, it's time for John madden to once again be on the cover of the game.

damn! RIP

One of the greatest coaches of all-time. Who somehow outshined that by being an iconic announcer and helping launch a revolutionary football game. Prayers to his family.

Madden brought joy to the game for multiple generations and his mark will remain for many many many more. RIP.

If you're 50+, you know him as the coach. If you're 40 or younger, you know him as the TV guy. If you're 30 or younger, you know him from the video game.

Regardless of how you know him, he was a legend.
