you something that jim gray, long time nfl broadcaster had to say. jim gray in a fascinating quote that i thought put this into context said that john madden is the most famous figure connected dot nfl and i thought about that for a moment. and i thought about all the terry brad shaw s and roger staubachs, the tom bradies, i came back around to i think jim gray is right. if there is one name at the top of your mind when it comes to the nfl that name either because of broadcasting or coaching or to your point, lawrence, because of the video game is the nfl. it is the name of the nfl and tom brady who would perhaps be the only other name to rival that honor said the following on instagram. he said john called our first super bowl. he was always so good to me. rest in peace to a legend of our game my con dolan lenses and love to the madden family.
