John Madden’s Pro Football Hall of Fame Speech

With John Madden retiring from broadcasting today, I thought I would post his induction speech into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2006, the same year he joined NBC Sports.

This is part one of his speech.

Here’s part 2.

Madden definitely made an impact on broadcasting, bringing his personality to the booth. In addition, the impact he made as a commercial pitchman for Lite Beer, Ace Hardware and Tinactin is immense. Of course, gamers love Madden as well.
