Legendary coach and broadcaster John Madden died Tuesday morning, the NFL announced. For fans, no one is more synonymous with football than Madden, and perhaps no one person has done more to bring new people into the game.
“On behalf of the entire NFL family, we extend our condolences to Virginia, Mike, Joe and their families,” NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said in an official statement. “We all know him as the Hall of Fame coach of the Oakland Raiders and broadcaster who worked for every major network, but more than anything, he was a devoted husband, father and grandfather.
