RIP John Madden

  • He had always maintained that The Immaculate Reception was an illegal play. We believe you John.

    I guess he'll find out for sure now.

    I read that Madden was Nolls choice for the Steelers defensive coordinator, but then the Raiders HC job came up. 

    That Raiders/Steelers rivalry was the fiercest in the history of the NFL.

    Madden had a left-handed QB from Alabama in Ken Stabler.  Tua is left-handed from Alabama.  Trade some socks for him.  No one respects Tua.

    Tua is noodle armed garbage...

    Yes, fast forward the Immaculate Reception to the level of 2021 playoff broadcasting,  there would have been at least four different camera angles and super slow motion to give us the definitive answer.

    First Superbowl I remember watching was Raiders vs Vikings

    my parents always went to their friends house and we would watch the game and there was always betting pools

    I also remember they had walnuts, that we would crack open, and there was change in them. Still not sure how that happened

    And I don’t want to know how it happened

    my older brother got into the raiders locker room after the game it was funny

    I’d take Ken “The Snake” Stabler over Tua, 100 times over

    The Snake wrote the greatest book I read as a kid.  Tua is limited.  But his heart and accuracy are what you want.  Baker has it, but something is off.

  • Funny story from my friend who won a SB with with Baltimore who was then traded to the Raiders. He had been a two way college player (DB/WR) and his second year with the Raiders he felt comfortable enough with coach Madden to go to him and let him know he had been a decent WR as well if he needed him there. Madden politely declined telling him, "I think I'm ok this year with Biletnikoff and Branch, but thanks for the offer." My friend still chuckles about that experience with Madden who saw the all-pro that Cliff Branch would eventually become.

    One of a kind Coach Madden. RIP.

  • Player/Head Coach Dan Reeves passed away at 77.
