From one of the earlier madden games: "he tried to go through the hole, but there wasn't any hole."
Madden was the butt of many jokes for his “duh” comments but the older i get, the more sense they seem to make.

I’m reminded of the “software is just ifs and loops” post from weeks back. I had that opinion when I started, lost it for 15 years and find it returning more and more.

My friends used to say, “Thanks, John Madden” whenever someone said something particularly obvious.
