John Madden is synonymous with football. He was the television face and voice of the nations most popular sport, the namesake of its best-selling sports video game, and the man with the highest career winning percentage of any NFL coach.
Despite his international fame, there was a side of Madden known only to those who listened to morning radio broadcasts in the San Francisco Bay Area. Thats where Madden grew up, lived, and died.

Readers who adored Maddens football acumen and quirky personality on NFL broadcasts will get to know the father, husband, bad golfer, dog owner, lover of roadside diners, and philosopher whose personality dominated our radio chats.
Featuring moving reflections alongside Madden's own words, this is a treasure trove of wry observations, self-deprecating humor, clear-eyed thinking about sports and society, and the Maddenisms that endeared the legendary coach to millions. See more
