John Madden and Jeff Dickerson die

There are two news flashes on the deaths of NFL sportscasters John Madden and Jeff Dickerson.

Madden died yesterday at 85 years old. He died of an unknown cause of death three days after Christmas. While my mom was sleeping, I learned that Madden had died. Madden, however, worked with Pat Summerall, first on CBS and then on Fox, before working with Al Michaels, first on ABC and then on NBC. Dad watched as many football games with John Madden as possible, even until Pat Summerall retired in 2002.

Dickerson also died yesterday. He died of cancer at 44 years old after being an ESPN reporter for the Chicago Bears.

May God protect the families of John Madden and Jeff Dickerson during this difficult time.
