.759 winning pct%!!!! Best in NFL history minimum 100 games. 💥 BOOM 💥
he took it very seriously, i think i remember him saying he was really stressed out and his relationship with his son had soured and he wanted to have time to work things out-props!!!

the raiders haven't been close to what they were in the madden days.

As good as coach he was .. his commentary was the best ( some of the stupidest/sillest things were said by him .. that made you chuckle or be like omg is he serious .. couple quotes )

"Team with the highest points usually wins"

"if the Qb throws the ball in the end zone and receiver catches it .. its a touchdown"

"AL : robert horry is going to be here and show up in the 4th qtr
Madden : no, no he is already here i saw him in the tunnel before the game"

i remember hearing these live and how can you not lol at these .. and the way he says it you know he was dead serious or just a fantastic actor.

lets face it the NFL and sports back then was a escape from lifes everyday ups and downs including politics, and were great entertainment.....madden was entertaining with a capital E.

i miss those days.

i miss the old days of the cowboys vs 49ers rivalry...a lot of guys on my ship were from texas and crazy about the cowboys, so i became a diehard montana/49er fan--made those games very interesting, lol.

as much as i am tempted not going to turn this madden thread into a political thread--would rather keep it to the days of madden when politics weren't a part of the NFL.

I miss those days too. I haven’t watched an NFL game in 5 years and don’t plan on watching one any time soon.

back in the day monday night football was a event--many bars in indianapolis would offer free wings-it was a competition to attract all the guys and some gals back then to watch the game...as i get older my memories of those days becomes even clearer--maybe that's why so many in my generation could relate to Make America Great Again--to us those were much better days.

In addition to Madden, Dan Reeves also passed away.

Tough week for the NFL.
