The NFL announced today the legendary coach and member of the Hall of Fame John Madden underwent Open Heart Surgery. I can only imagine what it was like for the doctors before he went under;

Alright doc’s listen when you see those blockages you go Boom then Boom and BOOM!!

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said;

I spoke to John yesterday. He sounds great, but is frustrated about being on injured reserve for the time being. He is anxious to return to action soon doing the important work he does for our game. He’s a tremendous fountain of ideas and we can’t wait to get him back. We are all pleased to know that John’s procedure was successful and wish him a speedy recovery

I wish John Madden all the best and would have to admit, I miss him on broadcasts, but still love playing the game.

I found this well done few minute documentery from on youtube via Kingston media where John Madden talks about growing up in america.

John Madden is always known for funny sayings during a game. Pat Summerall had to just crack up in the car on the way home. I really miss these two.
