RIP to a legend that did a whole hell of alot for the game.
I post this here because some of my fondest childhood football memories were narrated by John Madden and Pat Summerall and I know I'm not alone here.
If I close my eyes, I can still see the telestrator going crazy and Madden getting legitimately excited describing the Counter Trey: Look here Pat! You got Russ Grimm and Big Joe Jacoby...6'6 310 lbs and pulling across the formation and John Riggins is right in Jacoby's hip pocket!!"
Or the time Madden and Summerall were discussing how much Dave Butz's head weighed: "They say his head weighs 5 lbs! Pat: How do you weigh somebody's head?"
Or in the 1991 NFC Title game on a touchdown run late in the game "Sometimes Pat, you still need an Old Hog like Russ Grimm in the game to make a key block..."
Madden and his enthusiasm painted one hell of a picture...............
