Simpson\u003c/a>, the decorated football superstar and Hollywood actor who was acquitted of charges he killed his former wife and her friend but was found liable in a separate civil trial, has died. He was 76.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The family announced on \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/TheRealOJ32/status/1778430029350707380?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet\">Simpson’s official X account\u003c/a> that he died Wednesday of prostate cancer. Simpson’s attorney confirmed to TMZ on Thursday that he died in Las Vegas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Simpson earned fame, fortune and adulation through football and show business, but his legacy was forever changed by \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/celebrity-arts-and-entertainment-general-news-2eae78a5e56f4f74a6759287525d1487\">the June 1994 knife slayings\u003c/a> of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ronald Goldman in Los Angeles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Live TV coverage of his arrest after a \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/general-news-6717fd3901034165bdf6aee0618b4885\">famous slow-speed chase\u003c/a> marked a stunning \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/general-news-045d03621cb94cd69944d9955c9bf82e\">fall from grace\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He had seemed to transcend racial barriers as the star Trojans tailback for college football’s powerful University of Southern California in the late 1960s, as a rental car ad pitchman rushing through airports in the late 1970s, and as the husband of a blond and blue-eyed high school homecoming queen in the 1980s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m not Black, I’m O.J.,” he liked to tell friends.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The public was mesmerized by \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/38915cfde46d4d76a993db9680924bae/1000\">his “trial of the century”\u003c/a> on live TV. His case sparked \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/5435457473e847ae845dafca986f35e2\">debates on race,\u003c/a> gender, \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/general-news-c85957bb9c764313a88659b5837f5245\">domestic abuse,\u003c/a> celebrity justice and \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/entertainment-crime-los-angeles-forensics-oj-simpson-bd104049096d41d2ad4b0c6de6a8e742\">police misconduct\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A criminal court jury \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/21978eae36174fb69adafded48f58865/ap-was-there-20-years-ago-oj-simpson-receives-acquittal\">found him not guilty\u003c/a> of murder in 1995, but a separate civil trial jury found him liable in 1997 for the deaths and ordered him to pay $33.5 million to family members of Brown \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/general-news-arts-and-entertainment-celebrity-d7967e246ac84b6c9f76acb4384dc165\">and Goldman.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A decade later, still shadowed by the California wrongful death judgment, Simpson led five men he barely knew into a confrontation with \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/general-news-television-1382c2fbfd364cba82c9dfa5e0bcb2c5\">two sports memorabilia dealers\u003c/a> in a cramped Las Vegas hotel room. Two men with Simpson had guns. A jury convicted Simpson of armed robbery and other felonies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Imprisoned at age 61, \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/general-news-0e3b4ef662904c4395abd045dff93ffe\">he served nine years\u003c/a> in a remote northern Nevada prison, including a stint as a gym janitor. He was not contrite when he was released on parole in October 2017. The \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/hub/oj-simpson-parole-hearing\">parole board heard him\u003c/a> insist yet again that he was only trying to retrieve sports memorabilia and family heirlooms stolen from him after his criminal trial in Los Angeles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ve basically spent a conflict-free life, you know,” said Simpson, whose parole \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/college-football-sports-entertainment-business-arts-and-entertainment-110d82684a8599f35deb0dd8529d6acb\">ended in late 2021\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Public fascination with Simpson \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/celebrity-general-news-arts-and-entertainment-28d281d57bf04f32b48f6f6860845e44\">never faded.\u003c/a> Many debated whether he had been punished in Las Vegas for his acquittal in Los Angeles. In 2016, he was the subject of both an FX miniseries and a \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/general-news-television-a0c8e6fc0f334d4ca5345171f80d5fc3\">five-part ESPN documentary.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t think most of America believes I did it,” Simpson told \u003cem>The New York Times\u003c/em> in 1995, a week after a jury determined he did not kill Brown and Goldman. “I’ve gotten thousands of letters and telegrams from people supporting me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Twelve years later, following an outpouring of public outrage, Rupert Murdoch canceled a planned book by the News Corp.-owned HarperCollins in which Simpson offered his hypothetical account of the killings. It was to be titled “If I Did It.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Goldman’s family, still \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/entertainment-30635dd27ca3e8538aeaed407d6e9843\">doggedly pursuing\u003c/a> the multimillion-dollar wrongful death judgment, won control of the manuscript. They retitled the book “If I Did It: Confessions of the Killer.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s all blood money, and unfortunately, I had to join the jackals,” Simpson told The Associated Press at the time. He collected $880,000 in advance money for the book, paid through a third party.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It helped me get out of debt and secure my homestead,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Less than two months after losing the rights to the book, \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/north-america-us-news-ap-top-news-las-vegas-nv-state-wire-91190b409d6c46b2b6a2b0a8827889d5\">Simpson was arrested\u003c/a> in Las Vegas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>David Cook, an attorney who has been seeking since 2008 to collect the civil judgment in the Goldman case, said he’d spoken with Ron’s father, Fred, on Thursday about Simpson’s death. Cook declined to say what Fred Goldman said or where he was.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He died without penance,” Cook said of Simpson. “We don’t know what he has, where it is or who is in control. We will pick up where we are and keep going with it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Simpson played 11 NFL seasons, nine of them with the Buffalo Bills, where he became known as “The Juice” on an offensive line known as “The Electric Company.” He won four NFL rushing titles, rushed for 11,236 yards in his career, scored 76 touchdowns and played in five Pro Bowls. His best season was 1973, when he ran for 2,003 yards — the first running back to break the 2,000-yard rushing mark.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was part of the history of the game,” he said years later. “If I did nothing else in my life, I’d made my mark.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, Simpson went on to other fame.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the artifacts of his murder trial, the carefully tailored tan suit he wore when acquitted, was later donated and placed on display at the Newseum in Washington. Simpson had been told the suit would be in the hotel room in Las Vegas, but it turned out it wasn’t there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Orenthal James Simpson was born July 9, 1947, in San Francisco, where he grew up in government-subsidized housing projects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After graduating from high school, he enrolled at City College of San Francisco for a year and a half before transferring to the University of Southern California for the spring 1967 semester.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He married his first wife, Marguerite Whitley, on June 24, 1967, and moved her to Los Angeles the next day so he could begin preparing for his first season with USC, which, in large part because of Simpson, won that year’s national championship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Simpson \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/84f2d5b4cc2347e481962ce074f2b7e9\">won the Heisman Trophy\u003c/a> in 1968. He accepted the statue the same day his first child, Arnelle, was born.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He had two sons, Jason and Aaren, with his first wife; one of those boys, Aaren, drowned as a toddler in a swimming pool accident in 1979, the same year he and Whitley divorced.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Simpson and Brown were married in 1985. They had two children, \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/general-news-7755fa52fc054f2e91cea13cb624d139\">Justin and Sydney,\u003c/a> and divorced in 1992. Two years later, Nicole Brown Simpson was found murdered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We don’t need to go back and relive the worst day of our lives,” he \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/0fea103ed1014714a966bd75c475880d\">told the AP 25 years after the double slayings.\u003c/a> “The subject of the moment is the subject I will never revisit again. My family and I have moved on to what we call the ‘no negative zone.’ We focus on the positives.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

In 2016, he was the subject of both an FX miniseries and a \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/general-news-television-a0c8e6fc0f334d4ca5345171f80d5fc3\">five-part ESPN documentary.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t think most of America believes I did it,” Simpson told \u003cem>The New York Times\u003c/em> in 1995, a week after a jury determined he did not kill Brown and Goldman. “I’ve gotten thousands of letters and telegrams from people supporting me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Twelve years later, following an outpouring of public outrage, Rupert Murdoch canceled a planned book by the News Corp.-owned HarperCollins in which Simpson offered his hypothetical account of the killings.

They retitled the book “If I Did It: Confessions of the Killer.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s all blood money, and unfortunately, I had to join the jackals,” Simpson told The Associated Press at the time.

Cook declined to say what Fred Goldman said or where he was.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He died without penance,” Cook said of Simpson. “We don’t know what he has, where it is or who is in control. We will pick up where we are and keep going with it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Simpson played 11 NFL seasons, nine of them with the Buffalo Bills, where he became known as “The Juice” on an offensive line known as “The Electric Company.” He won four NFL rushing titles, rushed for 11,236 yards in his career, scored 76 touchdowns and played in five Pro Bowls. His best season was 1973, when he ran for 2,003 yards — the first running back to break the 2,000-yard rushing mark.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was part of the history of the game,” he said years later. “If I did nothing else in my life, I’d made my mark.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, Simpson went on to other fame.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the artifacts of his murder trial, the carefully tailored tan suit he wore when acquitted, was later donated and placed on display at the Newseum in Washington. Simpson had been told the suit would be in the hotel room in Las Vegas, but it turned out it wasn’t there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Orenthal James Simpson was born July 9, 1947, in San Francisco, where he grew up in government-subsidized housing projects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After graduating from high school, he enrolled at City College of San Francisco for a year and a half before transferring to the University of Southern California for the spring 1967 semester.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He married his first wife, Marguerite Whitley, on June 24, 1967, and moved her to Los Angeles the next day so he could begin preparing for his first season with USC, which, in large part because of Simpson, won that year’s national championship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Simpson \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/84f2d5b4cc2347e481962ce074f2b7e9\">won the Heisman Trophy\u003c/a> in 1968. He accepted the statue the same day his first child, Arnelle, was born.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He had two sons, Jason and Aaren, with his first wife; one of those boys, Aaren, drowned as a toddler in a swimming pool accident in 1979, the same year he and Whitley divorced.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Simpson and Brown were married in 1985. They had two children, \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/general-news-7755fa52fc054f2e91cea13cb624d139\">Justin and Sydney,\u003c/a> and divorced in 1992.

Last week, a legislative committee sent the bill to the floor of the state Assembly, clearing the way for a vote by the end of the month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But even if the bill were to pass, Newsom’s pledge not to sign it — first reported by Politico — means there is little, if any, chance of it becoming law this year. While California lawmakers have the power to override a veto, they have not done that in more than four decades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"news_11972683,news_11965268\" label=\"Related Stories\"]The proposed ban was a step too far for Newsom, who is a potential candidate for president beyond 2024. The Democratic governor, now in his second term, is known nationally for his liberal policies, including banning \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/technology-gavin-newsom-california-4956d87b72b000a917eed27392d16d8b\">the sale of gas-powered cars\u003c/a> by 2035. But he also has acted as a bulwark against the Democratic Legislature’s most progressive ideas, including \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/psychedelics-magic-mushrooms-psilocybin-gavin-newsom-california-df0acc070df06de668ef69aafc1f13e1\">vetoing a bill last year\u003c/a> that would have decriminalized some psychedelic mushrooms and some other hallucinogens.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The proposal to ban youth tackle football gained momentum this year amid increasing concern about concussions along with the rise in popularity of flag football. The goal was to have kids play flag football until age 12, giving athletes about three years of playing tackle football before entering high school. Advocates say that would limit children’s risk of brain damage, which studies have shown increases the longer a person plays tackle football.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, the bill prompted strong opposition from parents, coaches and kids. Many attended a public hearing in the California Capitol last week wearing their football jerseys while asking lawmakers not to pass the bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California has regulated youth tackle football, with Newsom \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/general-news-48912d6a52844b318b71e9bf82973e36\">signing a \u003c/a>law that took effect in 2021 limiting teams to just two full-contact practices per week of not more than 30 minutes each during the regular season. That law also required youth tackle football coaches to have training on concussions and other head injuries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom, who has four children, pledged to work with lawmakers “to strengthen safety in youth football — while ensuring parents have the freedom to decide which sports are most appropriate for their children.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As part of that process, we will consult with health and sports medicine experts, coaches, parents, and community members to ensure California maintains the highest standards in the country for youth football safety,” Newsom said. “We owe that to the legions of families in California who have embraced youth sports.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ron White, president of the California Youth Football Alliance, thanked Newsom for pledging not to sign the bill in a video message posted to X, formerly known as Twitter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We collectively look forward to working with you and the California legislative body to drive the California Youth Football Act as the most comprehensive youth tackle football safety measure in the country,” White said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

The Democratic governor, now in his second term, is known nationally for his liberal policies, including banning \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/technology-gavin-newsom-california-4956d87b72b000a917eed27392d16d8b\">the sale of gas-powered cars\u003c/a> by 2035.

The goal was to have kids play flag football until age 12, giving athletes about three years of playing tackle football before entering high school. Advocates say that would limit children’s risk of brain damage, which studies have shown increases the longer a person plays tackle football.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, the bill prompted strong opposition from parents, coaches and kids. Many attended a public hearing in the California Capitol last week wearing their football jerseys while asking lawmakers not to pass the bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California has regulated youth tackle football, with Newsom \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/general-news-48912d6a52844b318b71e9bf82973e36\">signing a \u003c/a>law that took effect in 2021 limiting teams to just two full-contact practices per week of not more than 30 minutes each during the regular season.

It must pass on the Assembly floor by the end of the month if it will eventually make its way through the state Senate to Gov. Gavin Newsom’s desk. Newsom hasn’t indicated whether he’d sign the bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A handful of \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2024/01/10/california-tackle-football-ban/\">other state legislatures\u003c/a> have debated similar youth tackle football bans.

The bill still has a long way to go in the state Legislature.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dozens of young athletes and their parents lined up in football jerseys to oppose the bill at a hearing last Wednesday. Groups, including the California Coalition of Save Youth Football, \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/groups/saveyouthfootballcalifornia/\">whose private Facebook group has nearly 7,000 members\u003c/a>, have promised to keep up the pressure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sacramento Sheriff and former State Assemblymember, Jim Cooper, testified in opposition to the bill and pointed out that the sport keeps kids off the street, out of gangs and offers immeasurable life lessons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For some adolescents, youth tackle football serves as their sole source of structure, offering positive role models and guiding them toward a positive and productive path,” Cooper said. “… I understand the pivotal role youth activities play in keeping children away from the streets and from gangs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Already, the issue has taken on a partisan tone.

That bill \u003ca href=\"https://www.cayfa.org/blog\">had support from the California Youth Football Alliance\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lawmakers also will have to weigh their own experiences with the sport. Assemblymember Tom Lackey, one of the Republicans on the sports and tourism committee, told his colleagues last week that he’s “participated in flag football and … participated in tackle football. They’re different.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If we ban this sport, we take away the opportunity and many opportunities from children to grow – not only as an athlete — but as a self-actualized adult who knows when they have the capabilities to overcome an obstacle and achieve success further,” said Lackey, a former California Highway Patrol sergeant from Palmdale. “We take away a lifelong passion for the love of the game.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Experts warn of dangers of tackling\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>McCarty, the bill’s author and a former Pop Warner youth football player himself said wanting to restrict young kids from tackling each other won’t negate their love for football, a sport that he said has been part of his family for as long as he can remember.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m not anti-football. I love football,” McCarty said. “Two things can be true. You can love football and love our kids and try to protect our kids at the same time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The experts McCarty brought in to testify in support of his bill included pediatric neurologist Dr. Stella Legarda, president of the California Neurology Society, which sponsored the bill. The group spent $17,983 on lobbying last year on this bill and others, \u003ca href=\"https://cal-access.sos.ca.gov/Lobbying/Employers/Detail.aspx?id=1354175&view=activity\">according to the latest reports filed with the California Secretary of State.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She pointed out that the NFL has been having its players shed their pads and helmets to play flag football in its signature exhibition game, the Pro Bowl. [pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Assemblymember Kevin McCarty\"]‘I’m not anti-football. I love football. Two things can be true. You can love football and love our kids and try to protect our kids at the same time.’[/pullquote]“When the NFL takes measures to protect its players by playing flag football in the Pro Bowl, it is not just safeguarding its multimillion investments,” Legarda told the committee. “It delivers the clear message that impact injuries and cumulative head trauma are perilous and should be minimized.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assemblymember Valencia, the former football player, told CalMatters in an interview that the bill and the concerns about the health of California’s youth football players were very much on his mind last year as he stood on the sidelines of his alma mater, San José State, during its game with its rival, Cal State Fresno.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he was struck by “how violent and damaging” the sport he played is. He couldn’t imagine taking those sorts of hits at the speeds the players were moving, now, as a 35-year-old man.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Valencia said young kids can play flag football and still learn the skills they’ll need to play tackle football when they’re older — without risking brain damage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Drills, becoming more athletic, agility, speed, that makes you a better football player,” he said. “But tackling? That comes secondhand.

Groups, including the California Coalition of Save Youth Football, \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/groups/saveyouthfootballcalifornia/\">whose private Facebook group has nearly 7,000 members\u003c/a>, have promised to keep up the pressure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sacramento Sheriff and former State Assemblymember, Jim Cooper, testified in opposition to the bill and pointed out that the sport keeps kids off the street, out of gangs and offers immeasurable life lessons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For some adolescents, youth tackle football serves as their sole source of structure, offering positive role models and guiding them toward a positive and productive path,” Cooper said. “… I understand the pivotal role youth activities play in keeping children away from the streets and from gangs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Already, the issue has taken on a partisan tone. A representative for Moms for Liberty, \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/moms-for-liberty-2024-election-republican-candidates-f46500e0e17761a7e6a3c02b61a3d229\">an influential group among conservatives\u003c/a> known for seeking to ban textbooks that reference gender identity and academic discussions about systemic racism, was among those who testified in opposition last week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Huddle up California. Protect your parental rights. Stand up to Big Government,” the California Youth Football Alliance \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/cayfalliance/posts/pfbid032xkjjzxSKCKaisrDnbyc2sak9bVVNm9h5YFaaQxFCUWZTiCfFWL83ejqT3XHACfEl\">wrote on its Facebook page earlier this month\u003c/a>, urging followers to contact McCarty’s office.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Youth tackle football fans cite race, community ties\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>But youth tackle football is different from other parental rights debates that are more easily framed as a Republican-Democrat dichotomy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As they weigh the bill, liberal lawmakers will consider more arguments from the likes of Sheriff Cooper, a Black former Democratic Assemblymember from Elk Grove, who worries that banning youth tackle football would take away an outlet for young children in Black communities who might otherwise find their way into trouble.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

That bill \u003ca href=\"https://www.cayfa.org/blog\">had support from the California Youth Football Alliance\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lawmakers also will have to weigh their own experiences with the sport. Assemblymember Tom Lackey, one of the Republicans on the sports and tourism committee, told his colleagues last week that he’s “participated in flag football and … participated in tackle football. They’re different.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If we ban this sport, we take away the opportunity and many opportunities from children to grow – not only as an athlete — but as a self-actualized adult who knows when they have the capabilities to overcome an obstacle and achieve success further,” said Lackey, a former California Highway Patrol sergeant from Palmdale. “We take away a lifelong passion for the love of the game.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Experts warn of dangers of tackling\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>McCarty, the bill’s author and a former Pop Warner youth football player himself said wanting to restrict young kids from tackling each other won’t negate their love for football, a sport that he said has been part of his family for as long as he can remember.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m not anti-football. I love football,” McCarty said. “Two things can be true. You can love football and love our kids and try to protect our kids at the same time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The experts McCarty brought in to testify in support of his bill included pediatric neurologist Dr. Stella Legarda, president of the California Neurology Society, which sponsored the bill. The group spent $17,983 on lobbying last year on this bill and others, \u003ca href=\"https://cal-access.sos.ca.gov/Lobbying/Employers/Detail.aspx?id=1354175&view=activity\">according to the latest reports filed with the California Secretary of State.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She pointed out that the NFL has been having its players shed their pads and helmets to play flag football in its signature exhibition game, the Pro Bowl. \u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

He was 85.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The NFL said he died unexpectedly and did not detail a cause.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Madden gained fame in a decade-long stint as the coach of the renegade Oakland Raiders, making it to seven AFC title games and winning the Super Bowl following the 1976 season. He compiled a 103-32-7 regular-season record, and his .759 winning percentage is the best among NFL coaches with more than 100 games.\u003cbr>\nhttps://twitter.com/Raiders/status/1475992603254423553\u003cbr>\nBut it was his work after prematurely retiring as coach at age 42 that made Madden truly a household name. He educated a football nation with his use of the telestrator on broadcasts; entertained millions with his interjections of “Boom!” and “Doink!” throughout games; was omnipresent pitching for restaurants, hardware stores and beer; became the face of Madden NFL Football, one of the most successful sports video games of all time; and was a bestselling author.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most of all, he was the preeminent television sports analyst for most of his three decades calling games, winning an unprecedented 16 Emmy awards for outstanding sports analyst/personality, and covering 11 Super Bowls for four networks from 1979 to 2009.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People always ask, are you a coach or a broadcaster or a video game guy?” he said when was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. “I’m a coach, always been a coach.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He started his broadcasting career at CBS after leaving coaching in great part because of his fear of flying. He and Pat Summerall became the network’s top announcing duo. Madden then helped give Fox credibility as a major network when he moved there in 1994, and went on to call prime-time games at ABC and NBC before retiring following Pittsburgh’s thrilling 27-23 win over Arizona in the 2009 Super Bowl.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I am not aware of anyone who has made a more meaningful impact on the National Football League than John Madden, and I know of no one who loved the game more,” Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burly and a little unkempt, Madden earned a place in America’s heart with a likable, unpretentious style that was refreshing in a sports world of spiraling salaries and prima donna stars. He rode from game to game in his own bus because of his claustrophobia and because he’d stopped flying. For a time, Madden gave out a “turducken” — a chicken stuffed inside a duck stuffed inside a turkey — to the outstanding player in the Thanksgiving game that he called.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Nobody loved football more than Coach. He was football,” NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said in a statement. “He was an incredible sounding board to me and so many others. There will never be another John Madden, and we will forever be indebted to him for all he did to make football and the NFL what it is today.”\u003cbr>\n[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When he finally retired from the broadcast booth, leaving NBC’s “Sunday Night Football,” colleagues universally praised Madden’s passion for the sport, his preparation and his ability to explain an often-complicated game in down-to-earth terms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“No one has made the sport more interesting, more relevant and more enjoyable to watch and listen to than John,” play-by-play announcer Al Michaels said at the time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For anyone who heard Madden exclaim “Boom!” while breaking down a play, his love of the game was obvious.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For me, TV is really an extension of coaching,” Madden wrote in “Hey, Wait a Minute (I Wrote a Book!).”[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"Jerry Jones, Dallas Cowboys owner\"]‘I am not aware of anyone who has made a more meaningful impact on the National Football League than John Madden.’[/pullquote]“My knowledge of football has come from coaching. And on TV, all I’m trying to do is pass on some of that knowledge to viewers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Madden was raised in Daly City. He played on both the offensive and defensive lines for Cal Poly in 1957-58 and earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Madden was chosen to the all-conference team and was drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles, but a knee injury ended his hopes of a pro playing career. Instead, Madden got into coaching, first at Hancock Junior College and then as defensive coordinator at San Diego State.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Al Davis brought him to the Raiders as a linebackers coach in 1967, and Oakland went to the Super Bowl in his first year in the pros. He replaced John Rauch as head coach after the 1968 season at age 32, beginning a remarkable 10-year run.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With his demonstrative demeanor on the sideline and disheveled look, Madden was the ideal coach for the collection of castoffs and misfits that made up those Raiders teams.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Sometimes guys were disciplinarians in things that didn’t make any difference. I was a disciplinarian in jumping offsides. I hated that,” Madden once said. “Being in bad position and missing tackles, those things. I wasn’t, ‘Your hair has to be combed.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Raiders responded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I always thought his strong suit was his style of coaching,” quarterback Ken Stabler once said. “John just had a great knack for letting us be what we wanted to be, on the field and off the field. … How do you repay him for being that way? You win for him.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And boy, did they ever. Many years, the only problem was the playoffs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Madden went 12-1-1 in his first season, losing the AFL title game 17-7 to Kansas City. That pattern repeated itself during his tenure; the Raiders won the division title in seven of his first eight seasons, but went 1-6 in conference title games during that span.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, Madden’s Raiders played in some of the sport’s most memorable games of the 1970s, games that helped change rules in the NFL. There was the “Holy Roller” in 1978, when Stabler purposely fumbled forward before being sacked on the final play. The ball rolled and was batted to the end zone before Dave Casper recovered it for the winning touchdown against San Diego.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The most famous of those games went against the Raiders in the 1972 playoffs at Pittsburgh. With the Raiders leading 7-6 and 22 seconds left, the Steelers had a fourth-and-10 from their 40. Terry Bradshaw’s desperation pass deflected off either Oakland’s Jack Tatum or Pittsburgh’s Frenchy Fuqua to Franco Harris, who caught it at his shoe tops and ran in for a TD.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In those days, a pass that bounced off an offensive player directly to a teammate was illegal, and the debate continues to this day over which player it hit. The catch, of course, was dubbed the “Immaculate Reception.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland finally broke through with a loaded team in 1976 that had Stabler at quarterback; Fred Biletnikoff and Cliff Branch at receiver; tight end Dave Casper; Hall of Fame offensive linemen Gene Upshaw and Art Shell; and a defense that included Willie Brown, Ted Hendricks, Tatum, John Matuszak, Otis Sistrunk and George Atkinson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Raiders went 13-1, losing only a blowout at New England in Week 4. They paid the Patriots back with a 24-21 win in their first playoff game and got over the AFC title game hump with a 24-7 win over the hated Steelers, who were laid low by injuries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label ='Related Coverage' tag='sports']Oakland won it all with a 32-14 Super Bowl romp against Minnesota.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Players loved playing for him,” Shell said. “He made it fun for us in camp and fun for us in the regular season. All he asked is that we be on time and play like hell when it was time to play.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Madden battled an ulcer the following season, when the Raiders once again lost in the AFC title game. He retired from coaching at age 42 after a 9-7 season in 1978.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Survivors include his wife, Virginia, and two sons, Joseph and Michael. John and Virginia Madden’s 62nd wedding anniversary was two days before his death.\u003cbr>\n[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

He replaced John Rauch as head coach after the 1968 season at age 32, beginning a remarkable 10-year run.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With his demonstrative demeanor on the sideline and disheveled look, Madden was the ideal coach for the collection of castoffs and misfits that made up those Raiders teams.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Sometimes guys were disciplinarians in things that didn’t make any difference. I was a disciplinarian in jumping offsides. I hated that,” Madden once said. “Being in bad position and missing tackles, those things. I wasn’t, ‘Your hair has to be combed.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Raiders responded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I always thought his strong suit was his style of coaching,” quarterback Ken Stabler once said. “John just had a great knack for letting us be what we wanted to be, on the field and off the field. … How do you repay him for being that way? You win for him.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And boy, did they ever. Many years, the only problem was the playoffs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Madden went 12-1-1 in his first season, losing the AFL title game 17-7 to Kansas City. That pattern repeated itself during his tenure; the Raiders won the division title in seven of his first eight seasons, but went 1-6 in conference title games during that span.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, Madden’s Raiders played in some of the sport’s most memorable games of the 1970s, games that helped change rules in the NFL. There was the “Holy Roller” in 1978, when Stabler purposely fumbled forward before being sacked on the final play. The ball rolled and was batted to the end zone before Dave Casper recovered it for the winning touchdown against San Diego.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The most famous of those games went against the Raiders in the 1972 playoffs at Pittsburgh. With the Raiders leading 7-6 and 22 seconds left, the Steelers had a fourth-and-10 from their 40. Terry Bradshaw’s desperation pass deflected off either Oakland’s Jack Tatum or Pittsburgh’s Frenchy Fuqua to Franco Harris, who caught it at his shoe tops and ran in for a TD.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In those days, a pass that bounced off an offensive player directly to a teammate was illegal, and the debate continues to this day over which player it hit. The catch, of course, was dubbed the “Immaculate Reception.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland finally broke through with a loaded team in 1976 that had Stabler at quarterback; Fred Biletnikoff and Cliff Branch at receiver; tight end Dave Casper; Hall of Fame offensive linemen Gene Upshaw and Art Shell; and a defense that included Willie Brown, Ted Hendricks, Tatum, John Matuszak, Otis Sistrunk and George Atkinson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Raiders went 13-1, losing only a blowout at New England in Week 4. They paid the Patriots back with a 24-21 win in their first playoff game and got over the AFC title game hump with a 24-7 win over the hated Steelers, who were laid low by injuries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
