Daily Madden: Reflections From The Hall Of Fame

SAN FRANCISCO (KCBS) - Hall of Fame coach John Madden is on his way home from Canton after witnessing the induction of Deion Sanders, Shannon Sharpe, Richard Dent, Chris Hanburger, Les Richter, Marshall Faulk and NFL films founder Ed Sabol.

"They are in the Hall of Fame, they are in forever, and when the lights go out, the busts do talk to each other," Madden told the KCBS morning crew from the Madden Cruiser in Wyoming.

One of those new busts belongs to one-time 49er Deion Sanders.

"He was a great football player... He really played, if there's such a thing, three ways," Madden said, noting Sanders' work as a defensive back, receiver and kick returner. "He could get you on defense and once in a while on offense, and there was always a chance he could get you on special teams... He was playing major league baseball and football at the same time. I mean, how the heck do you do that?" (8:00)
