John Madden and the mysterious tag


Well, I got to wondering yesterday whether my memory was correct. So I went back and looked at some photos, and sure enough, John Madden used to wear a tag on his pants. I could never figure out why he did this. Was it some kind of press or locker room pass? But why would he need that? Was it a "cheat sheet" of the plays he wanted to run that day? Or was it some kind of identification tag, just in case he got lost? I just don't know. Other prominent coaches of the era such as Don Shula, Tom Landry, and Chuck Noll never wore them, as far as I could tell. Nevertheless, I'm sure with a little internet research, one could find the reason why Madden always had the tag.

  1. Actually, though not widely known at the time, John Madden was for sale during those years. For publicity reasons, the NFL felt it wise to limit the knowledge to NFL “insiders”. Thus, scouts, opposing team owners and other interested parties could scan Madden’s price tag with their binoculars to get the current price. How effective it was as a marketing gimmick, I don’t know.

  3. Hey buddy, I am worried that I am answering your query slightly late, causing you to miss a perfect internet site. While madden 20 is prevalent now, and madden 21 will probably be released soon, regardless of which version, the principle will be the same. We will need a professional platform to purchase coins. MUT Coins have always been the dream of players, which is why there are actually extra and more websites selling MUT Coins.
    I ordinarily get MUT Coins around the internet site. The EZMUT website feels far better. It is a really professional web page in all elements. The first time I traded at EZMUT last year, the first impression at the time was that the security was very high, and it was also friendly towards the first-time player, without the threat of information and facts leakage or account blocking. Along with the price is inexpensive, sometimes encountering discount activities is going to be more cost-effective.
    But what attracted me by far the most was their delivery time. With adequate inventory, I constantly get instant outcomes. Can make me improved immersed in the game. I think EZMUT will probably be satisfied using the web-site.

  4. The tag that is attached to Madden's pants is really a game ticket. To discourage Madden imposters he had to present a unique game ticket to the referees before being allowed on to the field.
