Family, turkey and John Madden.
That’s Thanksgiving, isn’t it?
Football, of course, is a central part of the late November holiday for many of us and Madden was a big reason why. He loved the holiday. He loved turducken. He loved awarding turkey legs to star players and he was the narrator of it all as a legendary broadcaster.
In a fitting move, the NFL has announced it will make a lasting tribute the Pro Football Hall of Famer and Raiders’ Super Bowl winning coach by the “John Madden Thanksgiving Celebration” every Thanksgiving starting this year, November 24.
