John Madden has died at the age of 85.
He was the coach of the Oakland Raiders who guided them to their first Super Bowl victory in 1977, and following retirement became well known for his television analyst and commentary on NFL games.
I just hope there isn't some big shock at the end of the year, like what happened in 2016, when we lost known greats such as Zsa Zsa Gabor, Carrie Fisher, George Michael, Liz Smith, etc.
