Am old enough to barely remember him from late in his very short and successful NFL coaching career, and then the iconic Miller Lite ads. I suppose the younger video gamers probably only associate him with his "John Madden Football" video game, which really transformed the at home sports video game platform.
The man was a legend in many ways, and an endlessly entertaining NFL analyst. RIP big fella.

I remember him most for the six-legged turkey on Thanksgiving Day games.

I didn't realize he was at the Raiders for just 9 or 10 seasons. He kind of defined the team from my view point. To some degree I was a Raiders fan then and until Davis gamed LA and Oakland, bleeping over fans.

The "turducken". While he was a damn great NFL coach before his early retirement from the sideline, he and Bob Uecker catapulted to fame for those Miller Lite commercials in the '70's.
Here's a later one:

I forgot about 'turducken'. My sister & family-members actually 'made' a few for Thanksgiving back then. -The duck being a little oily, but on the plate, the taste fit right in. They called the gravy 'duck-gravy' even though it was mostly turkey, which my mom probably had a hand in suggesting.
My mom didn't care for Madden... " He's too loud. And he tells you what you're already seeing. " She was a Cosell-fan.
