Madden spent Christmas Day surrounded by friends and family as they watched the documentary about the Hall of Fame coach and broadcaster’s life and legacy.
“We are truly stunned by the timing and heartbroken by it,” Rinaldi said. “The other side of our sorrow is our incredible gratitude that John was able to see this.”Santos said that Madden was “really blown away” by the documentary, and that “it made [Madden] realize his impact and the fact that so many people loved him.”
However, the directors, who called the documentary a “love letter” to Madden, said the NFL legend had one critique about it.“He made a joke about the one thing he didn’t like … Dave Casper calling him a cartoon character,” Santos recalled, adding, “He was a jokester.” Rinaldi said, “Now that John has passed, I don’t think I’m overstepping by saying that every one of those people that sat down with us and shared their time, their thoughts, and their hearts, feel all the greater for having done so.”“All Madden” premiered on Christmas.The sports world, including athletes from various leagues, continue to share messages of condolences and support to Madden’s loved ones.
“All Madden” features in-depth interviews with the football and pop culture icon from this year and also with his wife, Virginia, and sons, Joseph and Michael.
