The best seat in the house is still reserved for John Madden. His throne is fully reclined and draped in a fleece Raiders blanket...where his family now arranges a weekly place setting in his honor.
Long after his retirement from broadcasting, Madden continued to impact the NFL. He was a special assistant to commissioner Roger Goodell and chaired a league panel focused on making the game as safe as it could be.
He volunteered to be Roger's football guy,' son Mike Madden said. 'He said, 'You've got your business guys... I want to be your guy who makes sure football stays football.'
