Truly, one of a kind. It will be some time before a figure like Madden comes along again.

RIP

I enjoyed him on the sidelines and in the booth. The Raiders had all kinds of "personalities" like The Snake, Big Ben, the Mad Bomber, Biletnikoff, Hayes, Blanda, Hendricks, Branch, Casper, Guy and of course Al Davis. Madden was larger than life and all emotion on the sidelines.

Rooted for them except when Fairbanks' Pats were robbed by a bad call in the playoffs.
