RIP to a Legend: John Madden

If you haven't heard, John Earl Madden passed away on December 28, 2021. As someone born in the second half of the 1930's it's awesome that he was able to live such a long life and see so many decades + the era's that came with them.

On the field, he was an offensive tackle, while on the sideline he was the head coach of the Oakland Raiders and actually coached for ten seasons (1969 - 1978). He was an icon, multi-Emmy Award winner for his commentary work, and some would add so much more, he's the NFL Legend... John Madden.

Off the field, he was still digitally in the game by way of (the biggest duh of the day) Madden NFL video games. The video game adventure started after EA founder Trip Hawkins approached Madden for an endorsement and all that good stuff. The first game actually came to like in the late 1980s because Madden wanted the game to be up to his standards (Trip approached him four years before that initial release... so he wasn't playing back then about just any game having his name on it).

The billion-dollar franchise continues to stand as a pillar for EA, and when I heard of the unfortunate news about Madden passing, all I could think of is... they have to go harder than ever on the next installment or the one after. It might be too late for the pending game (versus a last-minute nip & tuck), but the one after would have more time for them to give it the love it needs based on the man who gave his endorsement and stuck by that until his last breath.

I'm not some super fan of the Madden Football franchise... but I do appreciate that it keeps some people coming back to support the game industry in some form because some people only play Madden.

You might even be surprised that I played a lot back in the day, maybe not as much as other games, but... I played a lot. If some of you remember Madden 95 (I played on Sega)... it was one of those games that some of us liked to take on the offline competition with. People were die-hard about it too and would put up money to raise the stakes. It was just good times, and with a certain amount of people being there... you know it was going to turn into a party, so the music turned on by itself, and food appeared out of thin air to dial up the fun.

I mention this because while I'm not a super fan, but I had great times that came to life because of the competition that a Madden NFL game delivered, and it's just a reminder to actually aim to have a great time gaming. When I go online to play multiplayer games (and even when I play offline with others), that's my main objective, because you can't get that time back... and tomorrow is never promised. Have a good damn time and aim for memorable experiences.

Gaming + New Podcast Entry + Pranks!

This is for the gamers + IT'ers who were suggesting that I get back into podcasting. I didn't stop just because I wanted to stop (I planned to get back to it), there are actually plenty of episodes sitting in drafts incomplete... but I didn't get time to really round them out the way I wanted to. I think one thing that slowed me up was trying to take the most effective route in terms of responding to some listeners about personal matters.

I'll try to take a situation and speak on it for the benefit of all listeners (while speaking to an individual)... but saying names and things like that... is just asking for trouble (can't do it). One really awesome thing I noticed was going in and seeing listenership being present every month... even when I put things on ice (unintentionally). I truly appreciate it and... it lets me know that the information is being utilized in some form. No harm in having good relationships and being in those relationships with cool down-to-earth people... and I will continue to promote that + just being overall better individuals. So continue to press play... and consider how the information can be applied to your life. Game on, and don't miss out on the free games being announced on the FB page!

I have to wrap this one up with some turdy tornado action from ole Gilstrap, just because it's funny.
