John Madden dies @ 85

R.I.P Coach. I remember my mom bought me the first PC version of his game on Apple IIC back in 86 or 87 had no idea who he was. Game was basically 10 yard fight with 8 teams with all time legend names and nicknames on it. Loved that game for the customization of it. Could create your own rosters. playbooks from scratch. create formations. Good times.

i used to play that in the arcade every evening before i started my work shift. That game was so much fun. used to love rolling out to one side, then slinging the ball to the other side of the field for a completion. it worked for awhile, then the game would adjust (or come out with a different team if you won) then pick that shit off :angry:
and them fights that happened after violent hits were the shit.
 
My childhood is fading away every year.
This man basically taught me the game of football.
His only blemish is that he screwed Eldridge Dickey out of playing QB for the Raiders.
But that's another topic for another day.
RIP to the greatest commentator to ever do this shit.
