Tim Healys Chutney Spoon Posted December 26, 2021 Posted December 26, 2021 Archbishop Desmond Tutu has also died.
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted December 26, 2021 Paid Members Posted December 26, 2021 She had achieved a fair bit as a female broadcaster. Apparently the first a woman to have a daily show on Radio 1. 66 isn't much of an age. 90 is a good innings for the Archbishop.
Paid Members BomberPat Posted December 27, 2021 Paid Members Posted December 27, 2021 He was an absolute hero but, similarly, all I can think about is one of the only three good jokes in Little Britain; Tom Baker as the narrator saying, "I've often fancied slipping into a tutu.... Reverend Desmond Tutu".

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted December 28, 2021 Paid Members Posted December 28, 2021 Compiling a score of good Little Britain jokes doesn't seem like good self care to me.

I would wager that the majority of NFL fans outside of the states would've first had exposure to the sport through Madden in some way. https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2021/dec/28/john-madden-dies-football-coach-broadcaster Edited December 29, 2021 by SuperBacon
Mr_Danger Posted December 29, 2021 Posted December 29, 2021 (edited) His greatest ever play was lending his name to a gaming franchise, hope he was still getting paid for that and didn’t get swindled on a deal. Edited December 29, 2021 by Mr_Danger
DavidB6937 Posted December 29, 2021 Posted December 29, 2021 This was an interesting read from the other day, linked to the documentary they just released. I haven't had a chance to find and watch that yet. https://www.sportscasting.com/how-did-john-madden-get-linked-ea-sports-video-game/
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted December 29, 2021 Moderators Posted December 29, 2021 (edited) Nice. Sounds like he was pretty closely working on the development of the game in the early years, rather than just slapping his name on the product, which is cool.

Paid Members Dead Mike Posted December 29, 2021 Paid Members Posted December 29, 2021 It's a testament to his popularity that the game stuck with his name given the temptations of using star players or the NFL brand itself. Can't imagine FIFA being called 'Jimmy Hill Soccer'.
