It's official. John Madden Announces His Retirement.
"It's time," Madden said. "I'm 73 years old. My 50th wedding anniversary is this fall. I have two great sons and their families and their five grandchildren are at an age now when they know when I'm home and, more importantly, when I'm not."
John Madden was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2006 after starting his football career in 1967 as a linebacker coach at Oakland.
