John Earl Madden 1936 – 2021
Pleasanton, CA...John Earl Madden, April 10, 1936 – December 28, 2021 was an American football coach and sportscaster. He was the head coach of the Oakland Raiders of the National Football League (NFL) for ten seasons (1969–1978), and helmed them to a championship in Super Bowl XI (1977). After retiring from coaching, he served as a color commentator for NFL telecasts until 2009, work for which he won 16 Sports Emmy Awards.
From the NFL..."Earlier today we received the sad news that the great John Madden died unexpectedly this morning. He was 85. "On behalf of the entire NFL family, we extend our condolences to Virginia, Mike, Joe and their families," said NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. "We all know him as the Hall of Fame coach of the Oakland Raiders and broadcaster who worked for every major network, but more than anything, he was a devoted husband, father and grandfather.
"Nobody loved football more than Coach. He was football. He was an incredible sounding board to me and so many others. There will never be another John Madden, and we will forever be indebted to him for all he did to make football and the NFL what it is today."
Memorial service information will be announced when available.

Yep, the man was pretty amazing, one of a kind in his profession. So was Desmond Tutu, who also died this week after a lifetime of work for the equality of mankind. Yet you'd never see an obituary for him or his kind on The Pinetree, wrong color and wrong target audience.

Seriously... this was a sports ball guy. I'm sure he was nice... but how important could this man possibly be to the world? He coached a football club for a few years.
Did he do something else to advance society that I missed? Create a vaccine? Spend 10 years in Doctors without Borders? Serve as a Congressman?
Or was he just a sports ball guy?

John Madden did an amazing job as an announcer. He was a professor of the sport of football, the Rush Limbaugh of play by play!!!

Don't compare Madden to that piece of fecal matter Rush Limbaugh. He was a sick fuk, and deserved to die. Quite the opposite of John Madden, a truly good person.

Desmond Tutu didn’t make the PT because no one that reads this thread knows who he was! In other words, no controversy, no coverage! Where John Madden will spend his eternity is more important than any of his accomplishments! He seemed to be a great man, I hope he made some good choices, or atleast one!
