  • John Madden (Great Memories)

    John Madden

    By: Cece Hymes

    John Madden was an American football coach and sportscaster. He won Super Bowl XI as head coach of the Oakland Raiders over the Minnesota Vikings, and after retiring from coaching became a well-known color commentator for NFL telecasts.

    Did you know in 2006 he was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in recognition of his coaching career. He also is known for the long-running Madden NFL video game series. What a gift he was to football. He was definitely the goat for color commentators, he didn’t miss anything.  Some of my favorite quotes by him are:

    “Don’t worry about the horse being blind, just load the wagon”

    “Self-praise is for losers”

    “Well, when you’re playing good football, it’s good football and if you don’t have good football, then you’re not really playing good football”

    John Madden has written several books, including the best-selling “Hey, Wait a Minute, I Wrote a Book!” and “One Knee Equals Two Feet”. Make sure to check them out. What was the most memorable moment you have of John Madden? Comment below and let us know. Also follow me @Cece. Atl.

    A. The NBA season during the pandemic was some of the best basketball I’ve seen this year.

It was great to watch.
