Him and the clown were big parts of my childhood football experience.

Another vet of the '58 Championship game gone.  :mad:

I preferred NBC coverage over CBS, but you could always tell ol' Pat was blitzed sometime in the middle of the 3rd quarter during those late games.  :lol:
Us really, really old people can remember when he worked with Tom Brookshier in the late 70s before Madden. Now that's old.

One of the old straight-away kickers.  The way it should be done, not that faggot soccer-style they do now.

Yep.  I still tend to think of Brookshier as his sidekick, rather than Madden.

Madden, himself, I still tend to think of as Raider's head coach, not a broadcaster.

Agreed.  He actually scared me as a little kid when they showed him on the sidelines, because he was clinically fucking insane.
