Tip of the Cap

As a Kansas City Chiefs fan, I of course despise the Raiders -- wherever they're from these days -- and all of their works. But anyone who's followed football knows about the coaching abilities of their former head man John Madden and respects his work.

And in a world where watching a football game means choosing between Joe Buck, Cris Collinsworth or Tony Romo, Madden's work in the booth can't be valued highly enough. So a moment of silence and tip of the cap indeed to Madden, who passed away today at 85.
