Great story, especially how he got introduced to turducken. You can't think of the word Turducken without thinking of John Madden.

When he first came on the scene he was such a refreshing voice. That diminished with time, but he was always good

I have no opinion on the video games, other than he jinxed a few guys

For the younger guys who only knew him as a broadcaster, here are some stats backing up his hall of fame status.

Regular season home record: 57-12-2
Post-season home record: 7-2

Overall home record from 1969-1978: 64-14-2 (.800)

Both of the post-season home losses came against the eventual Super Bowl winner, the Chiefs in 1969 and the Steelers in 1974.

Impressive numbers.
