John Madden died at 85. Lots of people have died recently, but I think the most about John Madden. He was one of those voices of my childhood, first on the TV, then on the video games. When I saw that John Madden died, the first person I wanted to talk to about it was Chad. Chad and I loved listening to John Madden and we loved playing Madden.
