Reaction from social media and elsewhere to the death of Hall of Fame coach and broadcaster John Madden:
Al Michaels, lead announcer for NBC’s “Sunday Night Football”
“We worked together for seven years on ‘Monday Night Football’ and ‘Sunday Night Football.’ It was like hitting the lottery. He was so much more than just football — a keen observer of everything around him and a man who could carry on a smart conversation about hundreds and hundreds of topics. The term ‘Renaissance Man’ is tossed around a little too loosely these days, but John was as close as you can come.
