Budzilla posted:This is an outlier though. The documentary didn't even try to white wash All Madden, quoting him as saying poo poo like All Madden linemen play through injuries and spend all their time hitting the ground. Good for him for joining the player safety council at least. John Madden is truly a land of contrast. He was chill as gently caress and genuinely enthusiastic about the game and helping people enjoy it. His ignorance of player safety is disappointing but contemporaneously normal. RIP in peace to a real one.

John Madden kissed every player on the helmet before they went on the field

If a player got their "bell rung" John Madden would personally perform a concussion examination. If he wasn't pleased with the results he would make the player sit out the rest of the game. He acquired multiple human brains and on live TV would discuss the affects of concussions and CTE. This usually occurred during timeouts.

Full Metal Jackass posted:Lol that's it. I'm just imagining this is the way Madden would plate and serve all his meals to his guests. Need some mashed potatoes? Maddens gonna grab a glob and throw it down on your plate. my favorite part is how he fuckin puts his hand on it like he's gonna slice it, then just loving rips it apart like he can't loving help himself while Al Michaels stands there laughing into his mic trying to not say, "holy fuckin poo poo"

John Madden invented the giant round bubble suit as a way to combat concussions in the game of football. It was ultimately rejected by the league. Thankfully he didn't go bankrupt because it became popular amongst the public for novelty sport/activity and is still sold today from a variety of manufacturers.

I’m glad I played a safe sport like baseball where I only occasionally caught a 90 mph fastball to the head or genitals.

John Madden invented an entirely safe way of playing the "art" of football "electronically" from the player's own home. The name of this company? Temco.
