FOX & Others Honors Late John Madden On Sunday

NFL teams held moments of silence in stadiums across the country before kickoff Sunday in honor of Hall of Fame coach and legendary broadcaster John Madden—and the tributes even extended to the league’s broadcasts.

FOX, Madden’s network for eight of his 30 broadcasting seasons, honored him with a silhouette of his face in the top right corner—where the network’s logo usually resides.


FOX announcers also wore jackets honoring Madden during Sunday’s games.


Some players even wore Madden-inspired cleats.

A legendary figure in football history, Madden died December 28 at age 85. He posted a 103-32-7 record as head coach of the Raiders from 1969-78, winning Super Bowl XI in January 1977. He also took home 16 Sports Emmys for his work with CBS, Fox, ABC, and NBC.

He was enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2006.
