One name that has been synonymous with football and the NFL has been the legend John Madden. From his days as a coach to his days in the booth as a color commentator to being the face of the video game franchise John Madden left a huge mark on the game. And sadly it is being reported that the legend has passed away at age 85.
Nearly ten months after he revealed his fight with Stage 4 lung cancer, longtime senator and 1996 Republican Presidential nominee Bob Dole died Sunday morning at the age of 98.
