    As an athlete through school, I succumbed to a life far different than the playing field. Faced with difficulties that were taken for granted, suddenly my world became a battlefield just to survive. I take the reader on a voyage into the unknown disabled community, where I candidly express my emotions. The accident left me vulnerable, which allowed my father in close. We were both too stubborn to show weakness and that kept us apart.

    An intimate and freewheeling portrait of John Madden through the NFL legend's own words 
    John Madden is synonymous with football. He was the television face and voice of the nation’s most popular 
    sport, the namesake of its best-selling sports video game, and the man with the highest career winning 
    percentage of any NFL coach. 
    Despite his international fame, there was a side of Madden known only to those who listened to morning radio 
    broadcasts in the San Francisco Bay Area. That’s where Madden grew up, lived, and died. It's where for decades 
    he found joy in a daily chat with his hometown radio station: a chance to unwind, tell stories, and impart his 
    own brand of wit and wisdom. 
    In Mornings With Madden, Stan Bunger—the man most often on the other side of the mic—illuminates this 
    larger-than-life figure, drawing upon memories of more than fifteen years of daily broadcasts, backed up by 
    thousands of recordings of those conversations. Readers who adored Madden’s football acumen and quirky 
    personality on NFL broadcasts will get to know the father, husband, bad golfer, dog owner, lover of roadside 
    diners, and philosopher whose personality dominated our radio chats. 
    Featuring moving reflections alongside Madden's own words, this is a treasure trove of wry observations, 
    self-deprecating humor, clear-eyed thinking about sports and society, and the “Maddenisms” that endeared the 
    legendary coach to millions.
