John Madden: Self

Quotes 

• Brett Favre : When I met Coach Madden, we were on a bus, and he would ask questions like, "Who you got coming to the game?" I just remember I had a bunch of guys I played college ball with that came in, and I told him one of the guys that was coming in town had an uncle, a great uncle, called Uncle Rube. And, uh, somehow we got to talking about -and I don't want to reveal too much - but Uncle Rube had an uncharacteristically large sac. John thought that was the most hilarious thing in the world. Lo and behold, the next day, Reggie White got a sack, and he squeezed in Uncle Rube in the telecast.

  John Madden : [archive footage]  That's the old Uncle Rube stuff. He just walked right into that sack.

• John Madden : [John Madden quote read by Peter King]  What I've learned traveling around is this: People are nice. You go to a big city and you hear the world is going to hell, but it's not true. Small parts of it are. The whole world isn't. You get out there, and it makes you feel better about America.

• John Madden : One of the commentators said one time that I looked like an unmade bed... I didn't take that as a real affront. I thought, well, that's not bad.

• John Madden : [John Madden quote read by Bill Belichick]  When you, as a coach win, you get to be a genius. But if you look at it, you're a guy that was a P.E. major in college. Your best class was recess.
