MARK DUNCAN Football coach and commentator John Madden has died at the age of 85. The National Football League (NFL) announced his passing on Tuesday but has not yet revealed the cause of death. John Madden, a legend, has passed away at 85. pic.twitter.com/1moYjueROe — Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) December 29, 2021 Madden was a Hall of Fame coach, leading the Oakland Raiders to a Super Bowl win in the 1976 season (Superbowl XI). He retired two seasons later and went into broadcasting, which is where he grew into a legend. Madden left football coaching largely because he had a fear of flying. Sports commentating was a natural fit. Madden’s blue-collar approach and funny, affable personality made him famous. Madden was known for his catchword “doink” while calling games.
From there he became a pitchman as well. The video game “Madden NFL Football,” one of the most popular video games in American history, bears his name. He was also a best-selling author. “People always ask, are you a coach or a broadcaster or a video game guy?” Madden said upon being voted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. “I’m a coach, always been a coach.”
“Nobody loved football more than Coach. He was football,” NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell stated . “He was an incredible sounding board to me and so many others. There will never be another John Madden, and we will forever be indebted to him for all he did to make football and the NFL what it is today.” “Football has been my life, and it’s given me so much.” Rest in peace to the legendary John Madden 🙏 pic.twitter.com/0XYD9FbXhF — NFL Films (@NFLFilms) December 29, 2021 “Players loved playing for him,” offensive lineman Art Shell stated . “He made it fun for us in camp and fun for […]
Will America-First News Outlets Make it to 2023?
Things are looking grim for conservative and populist news sites.
There’s something happening behind the scenes at several popular conservative news outlets. 2021 was bad, but 2022 is proving to be disastrous for news sites that aren’t “playing ball” with the corporate media narrative. It’s being said that advertisers are cracking down, forcing some of the biggest ad networks like Google and Yahoo to pull their inventory from conservative outlets. This has had two major effects. First, it has cooled most conservative outlets from discussing “taboo” topics like Pandemic Panic Theater, voter fraud, or The Great Reset. Second, it has isolated those ad networks that aren’t playing ball.
Certain topics are anathema for most ad networks. Speaking out against vaccines or vaccine mandates is a certain path to being demonetized. Highlighting voter fraud in the 2020 and future elections is another instant advertising death penalty. Throw in truthful stories about climate change hysteria, Critical Race Theory, and the border crisis and it’s easy to understand how difficult it is for America-First news outlets to spread the facts, share conservative opinions, and still pay the bills.
Without naming names, I have been told of several news outlets who have been forced to either consolidate with larger organizations or who have backed down on covering certain topics out of fear of being “canceled” by the ad networks. I get it. This is a business for many of us and it’s not very profitable. Those of us who do this for a living are often barely squeaking by, so loss of additional revenue can often mean being forced to make cuts. That means not being able to cover the topics properly. Its a Catch-22: Tell the truth and lose the money necessary to keep telling the truth, or avoid the truth and make enough money to survive. Those who have chosen survival simply aren’t able to spread the truth properly.
We will never avoid the truth. The Lord will provide if it is His will. Our job is simply to share the facts, spread the Gospel, and educate as many Americans as possible while exposing the forces of evil.
To those who have the means, we ask that you please donate. We have options available now, but there is no telling when those options will cancel us. We have our GivingFuel page. There have been many who have been canceled by PayPal, but for now it’s still an option. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
