I didn’t remember/realize he had to go into coaching almost immediately, or that he took over the Raiders so young.

Madden was an icon for generations, and it all really comes back to knowing the game and teaching it so, so well.

It sucks that what once was one of the things i looked forward to most of the year, the new madden game coming out, has become a pretty gross cash grab and just an overall lovely product that doesn't do the franchise justice. i LOVED that game as a kid.

No kidding. I remember I had it on the SNES, my best friend had it on the Sega. The amount of hours we sunk in to those games. Fond memories.

Pissed I can't find the original of this and only the HBO Hard Knocks thing, Madden goes on forever about that thing.
