{"product_id":"book-j4lj","title":"Mornings With Madden","description":"An intimate and freewheeling portrait of John Madden through the NFL legend's own words\u003cbr\u003eJohn Madden is synonymous with football. He was the television face and voice of the nation’s most popular\u003cbr\u003esport, the namesake of its best-selling sports video game, and the man with the highest career winning\u003cbr\u003epercentage of any NFL coach.\u003cbr\u003eDespite his international fame, there was a side of Madden known only to those who listened to morning radio\u003cbr\u003ebroadcasts in the San Francisco Bay Area. That’s where Madden grew up, lived, and died. It's where for decades\u003cbr\u003ehe found joy in a daily chat with his hometown radio station: a chance to unwind, tell stories, and impart his\u003cbr\u003eown brand of wit and wisdom.\u003cbr\u003eIn Mornings With Madden, Stan Bunger—the man most often on the other side of the mic—illuminates this\u003cbr\u003elarger-than-life figure, drawing upon memories of more than fifteen years of daily broadcasts, backed up by\u003cbr\u003ethousands of recordings of those conversations. Readers who adored Madden’s football acumen and quirky\u003cbr\u003epersonality on NFL broadcasts will get to know the father, husband, bad golfer, dog owner, lover of roadside\u003cbr\u003ediners, and philosopher whose personality dominated our radio chats.\u003cbr\u003eFeaturing moving reflections alongside Madden's own words, this is a treasure trove of wry observations,\u003cbr\u003eself-deprecating humor, clear-eyed thinking about sports and society, and the “Maddenisms” that endeared the\u003cbr\u003elegendary coach to millions.","brand":"Recorded Books, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49279866896688,"sku":"BDj4lj","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/623235-j4lj-Square.jpg?v=1732468178","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-j4lj","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
