Hall of Fame coach turned broadcaster John Madden died Tuesday morning, the NFL said. He was 85.
Coaching the renegade Oakland Raiders, Madden compiled a stellar 103-32-7 regular-season record and led his team to victory in the Super Bowl after the 1976 season. But a fear of flying helped contribute to an early retirement from coaching.
He became an even more impactful figure after he stopped coaching at age 42, entertaining millions who tuned in to NFL football. He also was the name behind the hugely popular sports video game, “Madden NFL Football.”A year removed from wrist surgery, Kirby Dach is struggling to score and win faceoffs for the Chicago Blackhawks. But the former No. 3 pick says ‘there’s a lot left on the table’ to raise his game.
