Since I remember the days of the old AFL n NFL...Dallas was my team in the NFL and Oakland in the AFL. John Madden was a great coach and gentle giant and all a round good human being. I couldn't have been more happy for another human being than I was when Mr Madden won the Superbowl with Mr Stabler et.al.
Even though the Cowboys N Raiders never met in the big game back in the 60's or 70's...I often wonder who I would have pulled for back in the day.
I can't say enough great things about Madden. Madden and Summeral did all those great Cowboys games on CBS and Fox. He was just so different and entertaining. There was never anyone like John Madden as a commentator and Pat was a perfect play by play voice for him. RIP to one of the greats. I may have to go back and watch the NFC Title games vs the 49ers again.
