:Frank Caliendo should be mentioned on madden’s page: one comic made his career off of impersonating Madden - it illustrates how popular & beloved Madden was!

== Died unexpectedly ==
Unexpectedly? He was 85, I don't feel like that was unexpected? Either way, feels like editorializing. [[User:Neuapostolisch|LJ]] ([[User talk:Neuapostolisch|talk]]) 00:57, 29 December 2021 (UTC)
Update: I found the page that said it was "unexpected" but it's a USA Today blog-type article, so my point stands. https://ftw.usatoday.com/lists/john-madden-passes-away-at-85-nfl-world-reacts
:I don't know, he seemed like a pretty healthy guy. Not the image of fitness, but not obese either. I would have expected him to at least reach 90, or there to have at least been some sort of decline. Dying in the middle of "footballing" is pretty unexpected to me, at least. Who knows, though; Maybe there were signs along the way. Pretty odd that it hasn't been released yet, though. This guy is prolific. I mean, I would understand if the family wanted to keep it on the down-low, but its been a good few months now. Sorry for blabbing, though. Hope this finds you well.

Update to the update: I guess the original wording from the NFL press release uses that language. I'm fine with it if someone wants to put it back in. [[User:Neuapostolisch|LJ]] ([[User talk:Neuapostolisch|talk]]) 01:04, 29 December 2021 (UTC)

What did madden die from? Was it the family that chose not to reveal his cause of death or is it really true that even they don’t know what he died from? I’m very confused.

== The stats are wrong in the percentage columns for the regular season ==
In the win percentage column for the regular season, the average is given as 0.7529. This appears to have been done by summing the percentages in each row, then dividing them by number of seasons. However, the number of games vary depending on the season, so this gives an incorrect win percentage. From what I can see, win percentage is based on total wins out of total games. 103/142 gives a win percentage of 0.72535211 (standard rounding to 4dp would be 0.7254). Weirdly, the postseason percentage appears to be correct.
The wiki mirrors the source page information.
As a sidenote, the percentages aren't given as percentage values either. [[User:Weatherbeatenhollowsofsnow|Weatherbeatenhollowsofsnow]] ([[User talk:Weatherbeatenhollowsofsnow|talk]]) 00:22, 21 August 2024 (UTC)
