I had no idea you knew him this much, yet alone worked with him. You’re so incredibly cool! Sorry for your loss, but glad you have many memories to reminisce on. ♥️
In my 35 years at ABC Sports I dealt with innumerable announcers from a different angle than most. I dealt with them regarding their expenses and other economic matters. Sometimes the bigger they were in their notoriety the more unreasonable they were. John Madden was as easy to deal with as anyone. Never a complaint. Always a gentleman.
Peter, many times the most successful ideas in television are the most obvious ones, but no one has the idea until you did. I remember those specials which were so personal and grounded with great stories. This is a wonderful and richly deserved eulogy. God Speed Mr Maden.
