of professional football without john madden. the hands. yelling and screaming at guys. what are you trying to do? a coaching genius. downhill, full speed. you can t win em all. i say what the hell can t you? as head coach you live and die. you don t stay on top forever. his retirement signals the end of an era and perhaps the end of a dynasty. we didn t know what he was going to do i wasn t the guy when i was coaching to say i want to be a broadcaster. but i knew after i did the first couple games that that s what i wanted to do. this is it. i embraced it. john does a rehearsal game with another young, aspiring broadcaster by the name of bob costas. how high is the shot? you look like a 12-year-old kid. i don t know what s going on there. pull to the right. boom. john had this energy.
