Jason Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 My title was going to be "When you die, you're no longer alive" which feels like a much more fitting title. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finaljedi Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 So Tom Clancy has been dead for 8 years, I wonder if EA owns his name like they own Clancy and will just keep it going Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 When I saw the "All Madden" tribute show a few days ago, that pretty much confirmed to me that people were aware that he wasn't long for this world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bacon Posted December 29, 2021 Author Share Posted December 29, 2021 I don't even know if "When you die, you're no longer alive" is a reference to something. This is was the first thing I thought of People Die If They Are Killed KNOWYOURMEME.COM People Die if They are Killed is a memorable quote uttered by the character Shuriy Emiya in the 2006 anime series Fate/Stay Night by studio Deen. The quote is a result of translation issues from Japanese to English, creating a humorous redundancy that became a popular catchphrase online. The quote has since become popular among fans of the series as well as 4chan's /a/ board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewhyteboar Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 Only John Madden Could Have Lived John Madden's Life | Defector DEFECTOR.COM John Madden—the wildly successful football coach turned wildly successful TV broadcaster turned wildly successful video game impresario—didn’t need to be famous. He just needed to be left... This is just superb writing. "And Madden thrived, by never being afraid to be fired. All this matters because, while he learned to be fearless before getting to Oakland, he mastered it with Davis, who didn’t like being argued with. Madden’s counter-argument was, “You found me for some reason, now let me show you why you did.” It was an odd kind of flattery-with-a-side-of-insubordination that got Madden a longer tenure under Davis than any other coach. The rest he did himself, all the way to becoming a surname that needed no other identifier. You watched Madden. You played Madden. You imitated Madden. You lifted Madden’s schtick without ever coming close to mastering it, because what is original inherently can’t be schtick. Madden was real all day long, all year long."

Joe Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 Jason’s title definitely is funnier and more fitting. Bacon’s reply just made me crack up for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricofoley Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 I remember a game I was watching growing up with Summerall and Madden commentating, and the weather was absolute trash. And Madden said something like, "Ya see, a situation like this, it becomes more than Team vs. Team. It's Man vs. The Elements, Team vs. Elements., Team vs. Man, Elements vs. Man..." and maybe the version of it that exists in my head two decades later is exaggerated, but it felt like he kept going on in a loop like that for like 30 seconds. And I remember every Thanksgiving game they would show the turkducken in the Madden cruiser and he'd telestrate all of the legs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
