Most of us will be dialing-up all the John Madden clips we can find on youtube to help us recall his greatness. What a great coach and personality. RIP Coach. You earned it!
I am 67 years old and I remember John Madden as a coach. I hated him. I used to hate the way he would act on the sidelines. But then in his last year of coaching which was 1978 I found out a lot more about him as a person in my opinion changed 180°. Look at this guy. He is the greatest football analyst of all time, a video game icon and as a head coach still has the highest winning percentage of any coach that has won over 100 games. A well lived life. RIP coach.
@@trashyraccoon2615 Electronic arts offered John Madden the money to put his name on the football game. If that was you would you pass up the opportunity. You would be crazy if you did. My definition of greed is somebody who grifts money from people that have very little money. Like Donald Trump. And TV Televangelists.
@@shackdaddy7106 Well, maybe if it was just that, but it wasn’t. He was doing commercials for Rent a Center in the 90s and 2000s. Rent a Center is basically like a payday loan store. Completely unethical. Thats what tipped it for me.
@@trashyraccoon2615 So do you have any problem with sports celebrities doing beer commercials. Beer, which can lead to alcoholism and can destroy families. My point is that a lot of celebrities do commercials for companies that can be interpreted as being evil. Do you hate all those celebrities for that. I agree with you about Rent-A-Center. Businesses exist because somebody sees a need. Or has the vision to think of what people will want in the future. And Rent-A-Center was created for those people who thru either bad luck or their own stupidity have completely mismanaged their finances and they cannot afford to pay full price for a washer and dryer or a flat screen TV. They want these items. And this is the only way they can get them. It’s sad, but it’s life.
John's demeanor is incredible. Look at his entrance. He walks in, slowly, totally calm. Nothing dramatic. And just eases into the seat as though hes' sitting in his TV chair. Soo good!
Brillant. I loved hearing his stories he always had a ton of them. A lot of inside information that they viewer got to experience. I never knew a single person that did not like John Madden. A legend
I totally remember those days. I was 19 year's old. John Madden is the best. Those were good times damn good times. John you made a huge impact on football, you will be missed.
@@Mr.T-q4d Ive seen Letterman in person before and he looked tall with a little bit of meat or fat on him and this was after he just retired. I've never seen Madden in person before but Im sure he wouldve appeared huge then.
My guess is that he wouldve been on Letterman's "Late Show" once he went to CBS in the late summer of 1993, but then CBS lost rights to the NFL then Madden leaves (for Fox). Now sure, Madden couldve still (Im sure) made such an appearance while being on another network just like with this situation. But still, when it's not in house, it makes things less intriguing to take someone not from your own "family". Had CBS wouldve not lost the NFL, he probably wouldve been on there during the ensuing off season.
John Madden was a brilliant coach! He was fun to watch on the side lines! He would put on a show and made the game exciting! I myself as a Raiders fan made it more fun! You will surely be missed. Make football fun in heaven and RIP!
One of the reasons I enjoyed the Raiders since 1972. Even when Raiders were winning games, the camera always showing him argue with refs. Then have his cigarette during game.
Will Lee… what a legend. I saw Will Lee when I was a kid with the 24th at band. I bought the only great Kiss solo album (Ace Frehley).. man I love the bass lines and tone in Ozone and Wiped Out. And the capper: I was in New York city the night of one of the takings of Late Night with Eddie Van Halen sitting in. Bro, your band was just on fire that night. So much energy, so many smiles. Thanks, brotha. Thanks for all the great music .
A couple of stories about John Madden: He used to fly with the team (the Oakland Raiders) but slowly grew more claustrophobic. The way he told it, he was flying to the West Coast and grew increasingly uncomfortable on that flight despite flying First Class. In his own terminology told to me on a train trip from Union Station, Los Angeles to the far side of Texas, he "started bouncing off the walls, so the pilot did the only thing he could, landing in Arizona, and advised John "We won't have you arrested if you promise never to fly again." That was a good deal for both parties. Soon, John got his first commercial that had to be recorded in NYC, so John discovered the railway system and the comfort and space of the private coach rooms available on many long runs, so that became his go-to mode of transportation. Shortly thereafter, the football season of 1980 was starting and John had to head off to Texas via Los Angeles. I and two friends were departing on the same train for New Orleans and the Bahamas, and all of us decided to get great food across the street from Union Station on Olvera Street, Los Angeles' first neighborhood and home to about 12 great Mexican restaurants. When he was done there, he departed in the golf cart provided by Amtrack and passed our limo parked in the red zone, saw the sun roof open, smoke coming out, and the driver standing and eating his meal off of the trunk of our stretch limo. He told himself "And I thought I had it good!" We found each other on the train and spent about 18 hours out of every 24 for the next three days in the bar car telling stories. He was accompanied by a great companion, an off duty California Highway Patrol officer who took excellent care of the larger than life John. His first commercial was for Miller Light beer, and for the ENTIRE train trip, EVERY time our John saw anyone drinking ANY brand of beer, John would stop and do his entire 30 second commercial word for word! Once in Texas at a stop made about 2am, John made it to one of those Dutch doors with the top half open, and outside sitting in a pickup truck a man was drinking a beer. Naturally, like he did it every day of his life, John once again did his entire 30 second commercial for Miller light to the delight of ALL. The guy initially didn't recognize "the Coach" as he wasn't yet a TV personality, but then laughed his ass off. Somewhat later, Greyhound hired him to do motivational speeches for their employees, and they were successful enough that they gave John his own Madden Cruiser bus and each year John would interview the top drivers of the line (who passed special tests) to pick out the one he wanted to spend the next year with. Simply put, John Madden was a class act from beginning to end and we are better off because he lived while we did. I'm convinced no one knew football better, and no one knew LIFE better. I later wanted to mail him photos of our journey, and suffice to say I could mail it to John Madden, Pleasanton, CA and he got them, like Santa gets all the letters sent to him. Bless you John! Here's the commercial. ua-cam.com/video/IJ11QN1jAGE/v-deo.html
I happened to see that exhibition game on New England Channel and saw that hit on Stingly. I am a Raiders fan but damn, I felt so bad seeing what happened to him.
It was interesting that Bobby Beathard (longtime exec for the Redskins during the Joe Gibbs years) was John's college roommate and that USC coach John Robinson was his best friend growing up (and they ended up playing football together at Oregon before John transferred to Cal Poly).
i didnt understand football at all when i was a kid but i did love watching john on tv and hearing him on the radio, he's the reason i enjoyed football thru the years! , you will be missed john , r.i.p.
John Madden's been a wonderful human being, incredible coach, and broadcasting guru. He's not only touched my life but many millions of others He brought us a deeper level of appreciation of football. RIP Madden.
Madden+Summerall was must see tv. regardless of the matchup. it was so special to hear them do a game. i've never felt that way about any other broadcasting duo.
Anytime people say John Madden was just a dolt they should watch clips like these. He was a charming delight with clever stories and engaging wit. He played up the "Big dumb lineman" character sometimes, but he was often the smartest person in the room.
He was so ahead of his time on everything. Rarely had a bad take. Being a Giants fan with the formative years being the 80s him and Pat were the soundtrack to every big game of my youth. RIP Coach
I love all the videos you have put out, a great bit of history perserved and available to be watched anytime. Thanks for this. But to be honest, I am starting to get a bit queasy whenever I see a new one appear as it usually means the guest has either passed away or made news for some other reason. RIP John, you were one of a kind.
God bless John… Excuse me…God bless you Coach Madden! God knows you taught me a lot I’m 26 years old, and I used to study coach madden like crazy. Documentaries, and listen to his voice when he would suggest plays in madden video game. Educating us football heads & athletes on how to tell if a defense is in zone or man coverage. By simply motion the outside receiver from one side of field to the other side. If the cornerback follows the receiver, than the defenses is playing man coverage. However, if the cornerback doesn’t follow the receiver to the other side of field, but shift their defense instead according to this adjustment. This indicates that the defense is playing zone. John Madden Used too give these tips out while playing Madden the game, like he did when he used to on television before they removed him off the video game. That save me in many third & fourth down situations as well as the red zone. Amazing but much appreciated!
A life very very well lived--loved what he did (and did it exceedingly well-both as a coach and commentator), a 62-year marriage, and 2 sons who are successes themselves--RIP Mr. Madden
@@9879SigmundS But for all Mr. Madden's success the one thing I will always remember is how he befriended and took care of Darryl Stingley--a player on the New England Patriots who was paralyzed during a pre-season game against the Raiders in 1978. Mr. Madden rushed to the hospital after the game although Mr. Stingley was on the opposing team/found out that none of the Patriots had bothered to come to the hospital and called the airport demanding someone from the organization come to be with Mr. Stingley's family. Mr. Madden offered his home/car to the Stingley family and paid his medical bills when the NE Patriot insurance balked at some of the bills. Mr. Madden remained close friends with Mr. Stingley and his family right up until Mr. Stingley's death. This is how I will always remember Mr. Madden--GodSpeed John
@@bufnyfan1 thank you for sharing this amazing story. Makes me wonder why it's not being reported. I guess in this day and age a (very) white person can't be seen as stepping up for a black person when no one else (white or black). would.
@@bufnyfan1 I think I repeated your story (unintentionally) in another response above. I heard he paged the NE coach Chuck Fairbanks at the airport and when Fairbanks got on the phone, Madden demanded he come down to the hospital to be with his player. Madden was ultimately a good human, and i think that mattered more to him than all the coaching honors and Super Bowl win.
The part about the rats and the horse being blind was played today on a local sports radio station I listen to, Such a terrible loss not just for football but for America, RIP coach you'll be missed!🙏🏈😥
A legend had passed ! I became a Raider fan back in 1976 at the age of 7 because of John Madden seeing him on sidelines giving the reffs he'll and and showing emotions to his team he was as real as can be. I remember his big smile getting carried off the field after winning Super Bowl 11 and I said to myself this is football and I be a Raider Fan For Live ! One of the most hubble people I have ever heard speak I wish I could have met him I don't think there is one person in the NFL who said a bad word about him ever with his announcing and contributions to NFL he is on the MT Rushmore of the NFL for sure. R.I.P John Madden.
I was a little kid in the 70's and began to love football watching games with my Dad and going to see our local Miami Dolphins in the glory days of that team. I remember seeing Madden on TV coaching the Raiders . He totally shaped my love for the game and called so many amazing games. Just felt like any game that he was calling was an event regardless of who was playing. God speed Coach.
Football won't be the same without John Madden. Feel blessed to have met him by chance in of all places Cesars Palace in Las Vegas. He was gracious with his time and gladly signed an autograph for this young Raiders fan. A day I will cherish forever.
i am so greatfull to have watched so many great moments hosted by a true legendary icon.... one whom personified the will to be great but also inspired several generations..... your imprint on the game may never be matched.... see you soon coach
John's greatest line was stating that after coaching he wanted to spend more time with the family. He later discovered "spending time with the family is overrated."
One word describes John Madden the best, and that word was fun. No matter if it was a game, a commercial, or if you were on board his Madden Cruiser bus--he wanted you to have fun.
@Don Giller, I really really Enjoyed this Episode of Letterman With John Madden. Thank you very much Don. For Uploading it on your UA-cam channel. That’s very nice of you
He was simply the Best. When ever he was doing a game no matter who was playing it was special! Who can you say that about today? There are only two people in the last twenty years that passed away and it really effected me Mr Madden and Norm Macdonald! Rest In Peace Coach we really miss you!❤
Surely were-I posted the eulogy here that he gave at Pat's service -RIP to both (''there will be no 3-peat'' at the end of NFC championship game '91 Giants vs. 49ers)
Wow this is awesome to see...never knew John was ever on Dave's show. I am very proud to live my entire life in the town John was born in, Austin, Minnesota. RIP.
The bus ride stops at mom and pops restaurants all across the nation naming waitresses talking about and promoting the food made John seem so connected with common folks. That always stood out when so many on tv get disconnected from society . True art of color commentary a big man big personality never to big for society.
Great work Don, this clip is fantastic. I always wondered if John Madden ever appeared on Letterman, but I could never find an example of him doing it, and I thank you for finding the one time he did come on. Those two men are probably my two greatest broadcasting heroes.
Hope you folks caught the All Madden special on Fox, it was on literally a few days before he passed away. Excellent show. Aikman said he was honored his whole career was narrararted by Madden, and that's what I really remember the most. Madden seemed to do all the Cowboys games for 12 years. Played, coached, taught and announced......what a Legend.
I heard that Madden and his entire family watched the special together at home, two nights later he celebrated his 62nd anniversary with his wife, and then two days later, he died. Sad ending, but what a life.
We're losing everyone that was special, with no one coming to fill their shoes. I am so happy I was able to experience these people before they passed because I know real talent is dead. Soul less NPCs and forced stature now. Thank you David...and thank you John(RIP).
Sb43 was his last game he called. It was bittersweet for me as a Steeler fan, I was happy we got the win, but sad we wouldn't hear Madden calling games anymore. He was second to none.
I’m been so caught up in watching the UA-camr’s of today and I just caught a flash memory to myself of John Madden a few days ago and then this happened. So many loved you big John that you never met, me included. Love you forever until I’m gone Timothy Lynch,(R.I.P.)
John Madden is good news for all of us. His egads mountains of natural strength is just amazing, this guy with enough strength in one little toe to kick Mount Sinai across the map to Minnesota in one play, man. He is farmer tough and what a great person to have in football and unmentionably in Coaching. Its just positive energy, a great attitude, & a positive effect on the Universe, always. His perceptiveness & outstanding sense of humor is priceless. 💛📀🔒🔐✌😇♥
He was to football what Harry Caray was to baseball. He was a man of the people, an everyman, but so totally unique that no one else was like him. Drink a Lite Beer from Miller now for each and every of your millions of fans. In heaven you never get full.
American Icon and Absolute Legend!!! Rest in Peace Coach.
I hate getting old but I'm glad I got to see him on tv growing up what a man rip
People should just stop dying.
I would get so excited to watch NFL football in the 80's when he and Pat were calling the game
@@rcfred_689 the 90s also. It was always a big show with Madden in the booth. He had a presence like no other.
I'm sorry for your oldness. Try to exercise five times a week, clean diet, no sugar, good supplements, lots of quality sleep, mild cardio, and eliminate stress and stressful people. You do all these things, you will start to feel a lot younger. And your oldness will turn to experienced youthfulness and thus greater usefulness. Thanks. Now let us pray.

One of the most hubble people I have ever heard speak I wish I could have met him I don't think there is one person in the NFL who said a bad word about him ever with his announcing and contributions to NFL he is on the MT Rushmore of the NFL for sure.
R.I.P John Madden.
Absolute legend. Miss his voice already.. Rest In Peace coach
I was a little kid in the 70's and began to love football watching games with my Dad and going to see our local Miami Dolphins in the glory days of that team. I remember seeing Madden on TV coaching the Raiders . He totally shaped my love for the game and called so many amazing games. Just felt like any game that he was calling was an event regardless of who was playing. God speed Coach.
Well said. With Madden, each game felt like an event.

Always interesting never boring. One of the Greats. Thanks Don.
God bless you Coach. Thanks for always making football magic. I miss those days more than I thought possible.
Thank You! For all the games, playoffs, Thanksgivings, Superbowls, humor, good food, talent and professionalism. R.I.P. Uncle John.
Amazing! I'm so happy we get to watch this at our leisure. What a time to be alive. RIP Coach
Football won't be the same without John Madden. Feel blessed to have met him by chance in of all places Cesars Palace in Las Vegas. He was gracious with his time and gladly signed an autograph for this young Raiders fan. A day I will cherish forever.
i am so greatfull to have watched so many great moments hosted by a true legendary icon.... one whom personified the will to be great but also inspired several generations..... your imprint on the game may never be matched.... see you soon coach
Super Bowl champion coach, one of the best football commentators ever and the author of the Madden NFL series. What an amazing life.
How natural a speaker he was.
At the time of this interview he was a legendary coach and new as a sportscaster. Now he is a legendary sportscaster who previously had been a coach
John's greatest line was stating that after coaching he wanted to spend more time with the family. He later discovered "spending time with the family is overrated."
One word describes John Madden the best, and that word was fun. No matter if it was a game, a commercial, or if you were on board his Madden Cruiser bus--he wanted you to have fun.
@Don Giller, I really really Enjoyed this Episode of Letterman With John Madden. Thank you very much Don. For Uploading it on your UA-cam channel. That’s very nice of you
Thanks!
@Don Giller, Your Welcome 🙏 Sir
Thank you Don. God Bless and RIP Coach.
Rest peacefully John Madden, you lived 85 years on this earth, winning a superbowl with the raiders.
Love you John, thank you for all you did for everyone. You will be missed.
What a storyteller..I was tuned in to him a thousand percent. RIP coach
My condolences to Mrs. Virgina Jo Fields Madden.
You lost a Great Husband!
He was simply the Best. When ever he was doing a game no matter who was playing it was special! Who can you say that about today? There are only two people in the last twenty years that passed away and it really effected me Mr Madden and Norm Macdonald! Rest In Peace Coach we really miss you!❤
John Madden was and is the NFL. He did it all and entertained so many. RIP.
He and Pat Sumerall together, were just perfect. RIP
Surely were-I posted the eulogy here that he gave at Pat's service -RIP to both (''there will be no 3-peat'' at the end of NFC championship game '91 Giants vs. 49ers)
Rest in Peace, John. Thank you for all the memories. We will miss you.
Thank you again for these timely uploads.... from Seoul. You are doing god's work, really.
Wow this is awesome to see...never knew John was ever on Dave's show. I am very proud to live my entire life in the town John was born in, Austin, Minnesota. RIP.
The bus ride stops at mom and pops restaurants all across the nation naming waitresses talking about and promoting the food made John seem so connected with common folks. That always stood out when so many on tv get disconnected from society .
True art of color commentary a big man big personality never to big for society.
That was awesome !! Thanks for sharing these old videos of the legends !!
Wow, Don, the music is stitched together seamlessly!
Thanks, but it could have been better. I admit I was in a rush to get this out.
“Severe bleeps, I mean when you talk about bleeps, we’re talkin about good strong bleeps.” -John Madden
Legend fuckin love that man
RIP to the legend.
Your avatar is hilarious!
RIP John Madden. Forever immortalized by the games, and will continue to be a beloved voice for impressionists.
Thanks so much for sharing these treasures Don!!
Madden!! THE BEST FOOTBALL ANNOUNCER OF ALL TIME!!
Rest In Peace John!!
He's priceless, what a big personality- it's always interesting that we appreciate someone so much more, after they pass on, rest in peace , JM.
Great work Don, this clip is fantastic. I always wondered if John Madden ever appeared on Letterman, but I could never find an example of him doing it, and I thank you for finding the one time he did come on. Those two men are probably my two greatest broadcasting heroes.
Hope you folks caught the All Madden special on Fox, it was on literally a few days before he passed away. Excellent show. Aikman said he was honored his whole career was narrararted by Madden, and that's what I really remember the most. Madden seemed to do all the Cowboys games for 12 years. Played, coached, taught and announced......what a Legend.
I heard that Madden and his entire family watched the special together at home, two nights later he celebrated his 62nd anniversary with his wife, and then two days later, he died. Sad ending, but what a life.
RIP to a True Legend and very nice guy!! RIP Coach Madden
We're losing everyone that was special, with no one coming to fill their shoes. I am so happy I was able to experience these people before they passed because I know real talent is dead. Soul less NPCs and forced stature now. Thank you David...and thank you John(RIP).
@@sansaarai pffffft. We all get old man. Just u wait. One day u wake up and are like where the fuck did the time go. Stay humble
This is the most boomer eulogy I've ever seen. lol
John Madden and Thanksgiving ,my favorite along with Pat Summerall
This is great stuff. John's quite entertaining and fun to listen to. Thanks, Don!
Sb43 was his last game he called. It was bittersweet for me as a Steeler fan, I was happy we got the win, but sad we wouldn't hear Madden calling games anymore. He was second to none.
Thank you for being the narrator for my football fandom. Often imitated but never better than the original. A life well lived. Rest In Peace.
Here in memorandum of a Legend .... watch all things Madden ... RIP Coach ...
Forty years to the date I am watching this. Take me back!
Always a legend: RIP Madden
I’m been so caught up in watching the UA-camr’s of today and I just caught a flash memory to myself of John Madden a few days ago and then this happened. So many loved you big John that you never met, me included. Love you forever until I’m gone Timothy Lynch,(R.I.P.)
Loved his passion for the game. RIP John.
John Madden, a man for all seasons. Rest in peace Coach. 🖤👽
Raider fan since I was 11 years old. Thank you for soooooooo soooooo much Coach.
Raider nation will always remember you!
Never met the man, felt like I knew him all my life. Love ya and miss ya Coach.
Thanks for posting Don. Great stuff
Thank you for this upload. You sure know how to find the best clip and the right time. Rest in peace, coach.
IT'S CRAZY HOW WE ARE NOW IN 2022 AND I STILL AGREED WITH EVERYTHING JOHN MADDEN SAID! 🐐
John Madden is awesome. I am going to miss him! Generations from now will still remember him through his video game.
If only we could hear him say Tuff Actin Tinactin one more time 😭😭😭
John Madden is good news for all of us. His egads mountains of natural strength is just amazing, this guy with enough strength in one little toe to kick Mount Sinai across the map to Minnesota in one play, man.
He is farmer tough and what a great person to have in football and unmentionably in Coaching. Its just positive energy, a great attitude, & a positive effect on the Universe, always.
His perceptiveness & outstanding sense of humor is priceless. 💛📀🔒🔐✌😇♥
RIP John Madden!
He was to football what Harry Caray was to baseball. He was a man of the people, an everyman, but so totally unique that no one else was like him. Drink a Lite Beer from Miller now for each and every of your millions of fans. In heaven you never get full.
