Madden night

We decided that since we have been playing Madden on Sundays every weekend that we should have a post about the history of the Madden video games. The video game series started out in 1988 for computers. The game was originally called John Madden football until 1993 when they shorted it to Madden which it is still currently called. The first console version of the game released in 1990 for the super Nintendo and Sega Genesis. Also John Madden was on the cover of the video games until 2000.  After 2000 is when they started using NFL players on the covers.  Madden games have been on every system since super Nintendo. John Madden is a real person he briefly played for the philidepia eagles. But a knee injury kept him from playing for more then a year.  He then was hired as a linebackers coach for the Oakland Raiders in 1967. He was named the head coach of the raiders in 1969.  He retired from coaching in 1978 being the youngest Super Bowl winning coach to have 100 total victories.  From 1979 to 2008 he was a commentator on the football games on television. He was featured on CBS, FOX, ABC, and NBC.  Tom Brady is on the newest version of the Madden video game. There is also the madden curse which is that ones a player is on the cover they get injured shorty after the games release. To read more about the madden curse check out this awesome
