Hall of Fame football coach and broadcast legend John Madden passed at 85. This gregarious personality coached for ten glorious years the Oakland Raiders into perennial playoff contenders winning The Super Bowl and posting the highest winning percentage of all coaches to this day. He retired from coaching early and began a remarkable run as a broadcast analyst for four major networks winning an unheard of 16 Emmy Awards. His down to earth approach to football enlightened a bigger audience with his acumen and knowledge punctuated with an occasional vocal sound effect for emphasis. Madden Football video game became an all time best seller. Madden was football.
