Oakland Raiders

John Madden’s widow, Virginia Madden, announces she will match up to $1 million of proceeds raised during Monday’s memorial service in Oakland. She also discusses how much the Raiders and the City of Oakland meant to the legendary coach.

Few have made a lasting impact on any sport like John Madden did with football and the NFL. The legendary Hall of Fame coach of the Oakland Raiders, extraordinary broadcaster, and video game icon, died on Tuesday at the age of 85.

The NFL said the 2021 Thanksgiving Day games attracted an average of 29.7 million viewers and highlighted by the Dallas Cowboys loss to the Las Vegas Raiders.
