NFL: John Madden
Author: Linda  Polansky

Many have coached in the NFL and then gone on to become sports
anchors or consultants for the NFL. There is one former coach
that really stands out, and that person is John Madden. He was
one of the best coaches in the NFL, and after his coaching
career ended, he went on to become a commentator for Monday
Night Football. He has been doing this for a number of years,
and he is extremely good at it, too, and he knows so much about
it that it comes easily for him. John Madden has always loved
the game, and that is what makes him so good at what he does.
Most people must attend college to obtain a degree in order to
do what John Madden currently does. But when a person has as
much experience as John Madden does, they are more apt to get
the job without the necessary college degree.

John Madden also has different kinds of games for various video
game systems named after him. It doesn't matter if it's an Xbox,
Play station, Nintendo, etc., there are Madden games available.
The latest, Madden 2007, a football game, is the latest craze
for the younger generation, and even the older ones, too. These
games appear so real, like the player is actually on the screen
playing the game. John's name has been on these games for many
years now.

Retiring from coaching certainly didn't affect John Madden's
financial state. In fact, he undoubtedly makes more money now
than he made while he was coaching. If you ask John what he'd
rather be doing, though, he will without a doubt tell you that
he'd prefer to coach, anytime. It's not all about the money for
him. Coaching is a lot more stressful and physical than many
people know, and it started to become too much for John to
handle, which is why he decided to retire. Even though he loved
coaching immensely, he would sometimes become so angry when his
team wasn't playing up to their potential, or if officials
weren't being fair about fouls, etc. that it really started to
become dangerous for him. His heart isn't in the best of shape,
and all the yelling and becoming angry could have caused a heart
attack or some other tragedy, which is why he decided to become
a commentator. He loves his current job and all the video
games, but to him, there is nothing like coaching.
