John Madden, Hall of Fame coach and broadcaster, dies at 85 - ABC News

---

The NFL says Hall of Fame coach turned broadcaster John Madden has died at age 85

"If they can score more points than the other team, they'll probably win the game."

Honor the man, if you wish, by sharing your favorite Madden-isms.

Also, sorry:

The man is a legend.  What else is there to say?  What a great voice and cadence.  Seems like there were a lot of Madden stories on-line in the last few days... wondering if there was a connection.

Oh, and not sure if he invented the tele-strator, but he was a master at using it to explain plays.

He went on a mild rant once on MNF about a punters name, Smigelski. “Smigelski isn’t a kickers name. It’s a linebackers name! Smigelski makes the tackle!”
