Madden cast a lot of great games and a lot of great players but I'll always remember watching playoff games where Madden's hyperbole was matched by the greatness on the field: specifically Lawrence Taylor for the Giants, those were magic moments in sport.

In the opener of LT's last season, he had obviously slowed up a bit and had been through a couple of injuries and other troubles. But he clinched a win against the Bears with a strip sack. Madden exclaimed, "Lawrence Taylor will NEVER be average!"

RIP. He had a great knowledge of football. But what I liked was his thanksgiving turkey with its 4-8 turkey legs and giving them to players. He didn’t like to fly so he had this Kool bus he traveled in!
