Thursday Flakes: RIP John Madden

Joe Madden had an impact on many people’s lives for around 40 years as a football coach, sports broadcaster and the face of a popular video game. A decent chunk of my childhood was spent with my Dad and younger brother playing FIFA, NHL and of course Madden video games. As I grew to love sports, I respected how much knowledge and enthusiasm John Madden had for the game of football along with his witty sense of humor. Even when the game wasn’t exciting to watch anymore, Madden found clever ways to keep the audience engaged to the broadcast.
