The sports world has lost another legend with the death of Madden.

The football coach-turned-broadcaster passed away unexpectedly at the age of 85 on the morning of December 28.

Within just two years, he was promoted to head coach.

John Madden

During his 30-year career as a football analyst, he worked at all four major networks.

Though Madden retired from announcing in 2009, he remained in the public eye.

His commercial appearances are still considered classic, especially his spots for Miller Lite in the ’80s.

He once toldBroBible, “I mean, light beer - this was 40 years ago.

People didn’t know about light beer.

That was the whole thing.

It’s less filling, tastes great.”

The EA series is now in its 22nd incarnation and is just as popular as ever.

A legacy of love.

Love for football, for family and for life.
