John Madden has announced enough NY Giants Football games let's go ahead and honor him here!

"There is one thing football fans have agreed on for decades: They all love John Madden," NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said in a statement released by the league. "John was a Hall of Fame coach before becoming one of the most-celebrated personalities in sports. He had an incredible talent for explaining the game in an unpretentious way that made it more understandable and fun.

"John's respect and passion for the game always stood out. He was the ultimate football fan who also happened to be an extraordinarily talented coach and broadcaster."

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! You'll be missed John Madden and never forgotten by NY Giant fans!! Do you find this valuable?

He was, without a doubt, the best at his analysis of the games as they unfolded. He shared hin insights but most of all explained what was going on in terms that anyone could understand. Whether you were knowledgable about the game of football or a newbie fan, he explained what was happening in plane language, also injecting a bit of humor at the right time. John, enjoy your retirement. 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

If you get a chance, play NFL 2010 and be Brandon Jacobs or the Giants Defense, it's fun! Do you find this valuable?
