(Thank God)
R.I.P. John Madden
I never played any of the games but massive respect for the quality and investment in videogames.
Some American sports are hard to watch from Europe due to expensive licencing agreements so unfortunately I've missed out on this cultural phenomenon.

This might be hard for you, but if someone has a known illness that typically leads to death then their death wouldn't be unexpected. Hope that helps. Now fuck off troll.
RIP to a great man. I have a suspicion that he was ill due to the All Madden timing but probably just a hell of a coincidence.

Same reaction.
I'll always remember Madden from my time as a kid. Never even liked Football but his games were all the rage, lots of hours played with my buds.

The Frank Caliendo MadTV sketches were some of the best on the show, his impersonation is near perfect.
For the man himself, RIP. I played a shitload of your game back in the Genesis days.

RIP
But was it unexpected? He was always obese and he's 85.

RIP. My cousin when he was alive followed the raiders and madden religiously. That was one hell of an era for football.

Seemed like a genuinely good dude. In a world where there’s always someone ready to talk shit on literally everyone, most people had good things to say about Madden. Can’t say much else better about a man than that.

He truly was the best and his color commentary is unmatched.
I used to love his breakdowns when he whipped out the pen
I remember this gem live at the time,

After surviving the shame of having his name in the latest editions of the madden game, we thought that he was kinda invincible.

Okay, what's your point? Some athletes have been on the cover multiple times and I'm old enough to remember when he was on the cover every year in the 90s.
I think he should be on the cover again for Madden 23.

He probably will be on the cover for Madden 23. If he’s not then it’s a crying shame.
