Badass Birthday
On this date, in 1936 in Minnesota, John Madden was born.
Arguably THE best television football announcer ever. That's the argument I would make actually. He was funny, knowlegible, interesting and entertaining. He was a color commentator from 1979 to 2009 through CBS Sports, Fox Sports, ABC Sports and NBC Sports....working his way basically through all the networks. He became a fixture on the Thanksgiving Day games, then when he changed networks, went to Monday Night Football and then changed networks and did Sunday Night Football.
In addition to the sportscasting, he was the Head Coach of the Oakland Raiders from 1969 to 1978. During this time, he led the team to many playoff appearances, several AFC Championship Games, and 1 Super Bowl win. Also, under his leadership, the team never had a losing season.
Madden also have his name and likeness to the Madden NFL video game.
But really , what he's known for is his sportscasting. As he should be. And he a such a badass.
John Madden passed away in 2021 at the age of 85.
