Reid weighs in on Madden retirement

Eagles head coach Andy Reid on the retirement of John Madden:

“John Madden is an icon in the game of football and he will be sorely missed in the homes of the millions of people he entertained week in and week out. As a broadcaster, the one thing that stood out about John was the immense respect he had for the integrity of the game. Being a Hall of Fame coach, he understood the hard work, energy and passion the coaches and players put forth to be able to compete in the National Football League. I will personally miss working with him prior to the broadcasts of our games. As a young head coach, he was very generous in letting me pick his brain about our profession and I will always be grateful to him for that. May we all push the 7-man sled as well as he had done in his 73 years!”
