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!!!.759 winning pct%!!!! Best in NFL history minimum 100 games.BOOM
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 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.
