All Madden. For ten seasons, John Madden was the head coach of the Oakland Raiders, posting a 103-32-7 record and winning the Super Bowl in 1977, but for many, it was his 30-year career as a broadcaster that defines his legacy. All Madden covers his time as a coach, his affable on-air broadcast style and his lighthearted appearances as a TV pitchman, along with his work with Electronic Arts and the Madden NFL video game series. The film includes interviews with Bill Belichick, Patrick Mahomes and Lamar Jackson, who all agree that Madden was, as league commissioner Roger Goodell called him, “the king of the NFL.” All Madden is available on Peacock and ESPN+.
