Opinion: Remembering John Madden the NFL icon, broadcaster, hotel owner and friend
Like pretty much anyone and everyone who crossed paths with John Madden, I was struck by a bolt of sadness upon learning of his passing on Tuesday.
Then came a flashback.
A little more than two years ago, I saw Hall of Famer Anthony Munoz at an event and found the former tackle absolutely giddy, telling me about the trip to the Bay Area he had planned that weekend. Munoz spent an entire Sunday at Madden’s home in Pleasanton, California, watching football with the legend.
