When I worked for the Bears, on game days, I would handle all kinds of requests at the entrance of the players/team parking lot. If you knew the old Soldier Field, the north side had siphoned off the "older" version of the stadium, and that entrance led you to the locker rooms or up Halas Hallway, which was a long corridor to the elevator that led to the press box.

In 2000, home season opener was against the Giants at 3:15. At around 2pm, I got asked to find a golf cart, and wait. I found a cart, walkie talkie said "can you go to the Madden Cruiser in the lot and give a ride to Summerall & Madden to the media elevator?". I merely said "hello" to both of them, I remember thinking Summerall didn't look like he was in great health, but it was a lifetime thrill to drive a golf cart with Madden in it.

RIP to the man who's influence over all of football for generations is second to none.

great story dish!

The impact John Madden made on football was immeasurable.  He was the voice of a generation and often imitated but never matched.  Was he a caricature at the end?  Probably, but between his presence in the booth and the game that bears his name, he'll never be forgotten

Pretty damn good coach, too, Unk.

Terrible news about Jeff Dickerson.

@TheCousinSal: John Madden is the reason every 13 year-old boy is better at time management than Mike McCarthy.

I'm not someone who has personally played video games very much, but I know enough.

It is a funny coincidence how much football and even the NBA have slowly turned their game plans/strategies towards the ones people have had on the games for years.

Jeff Dickerson has died. I am in shock, he was such a good dude, great reporter, did a lot of national ESPN shows. Man...

I was very sad to read this news and feel heartbroken for his 11 year old son who has now lost both his parents to cancer :( .

Kirk Cousins out Sunday night.  Tested positive and must sit as an unvaccinated player.

I think most of the Vikings top players are unvaccinated. That should be interesting.

I despise Rodgers from depriving me of the ability to make fun of Kirk Cousins and flaunt my moral superiority.

I'll laugh my butt off at both of them.

Big difference between the two though.

Rodgers is a smart guy who wants to make sure everyone knows it. Cousins is an idiot.

He may be a smart guy but he sounds like a moron every time he opens his mouth to talk about COVID.

Yup. Cuz the only way he knows to talk about it is that he thinks he knows more than the rest of us. One of the reasons it's so easy to make fun of the New Age people.

Packers apparently donated $25,000 to the memorial fund for his son.

Apparently, Nagy isn't the worst coach in the League.

What Head Coach can justify playing Mike Glennon? There is a reason teams like the Bears and Giants sign a guy like this. Of course the Giants weren't stupid enough to pay him $18 mil. Pace should have been fired on the spot for that stupidity.

Pulled this off Twitter. Not sure how accurate it is...
