Definitely deserves his own thread. RIP John Madden. Sad day for football.

Not to be crass, but I thought he died many years ago.

Maybe you confused him with his partner Pat Summerall who did die several years ago.

I was slightly surprised when I found out he was still alive last Sunday. Googled him while we were watching his tribute thing pregame.

He'd really stayed out of the public eye.

No, she isn't less important than George Michael.

Simply directing The Last Picture Show should get him a prominent mention, but anyone who was nailing Cybil Shepherd in her prime really gets a boost in my book.

Took me a second to place him despite him looking super familiar, but I knew him best as Melfi's therapist on The Sopranos. He was good in that role. RIP.

Late to the party (poor taste?) with this one, but I hadn't heard. Tom T. Hall passed (not Monty Hall, you heathens) past August. Reason it's news now? COD was suicide :-(

If you are at risk, the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline offers support at 800-273-8255.

Pour out a cup of watermelon wine for a great one.

The breaking news death of the day is certainly more important than George Michael, but I'm not really educated enough to be a thread-starter for him.

It's not Bob Dylan.

I've been working quite a bit for the Raiders this season at their HQ. Today they had Madden's first bus parked in front, open for tours.

John Madden and Betty White both seem to have been remarkably good, decent, and wildly accomplished people by any standard, but especially by modern celebrity standards. They were both treasures and their lives are excellent examples worth aspiring to.

Terribly sad about Tom T Hall's suicide, I'd heard he'd died but not that way, brutal.

Thanks for sharing the pics of the MaddenCruiser, Videopro. That's pretty cool.

I once happened to stop at Chuy's restaurant in Van Horn, TX (the middle of nowhere east of El Paso). Turns out it was a place Madden liked to stop, was on the "Haul of Fame".

I randomly stopped there once as well. This was back in 1993, IIRC, so he was still stopping in there often.

Food was pretty good too.

^ no

But it's terrible all the same, and too young at 65. Saget always seemed like an awesome guy. He and Norm MacDonald were close; tough to imagine both suddenly gone within months of each other.
