 The NFL world dropped on its knees to pray for the lost soul of John Madden earlier this week. John Madden has created an unparalleled legacy of his NFL career as a coach and a broadcaster. Madden has served the NFL community in every which way possible. And now that he is gone, athletes from different sports recognized and appreciated his legacy. John Madden’s legacy in the NFL has been made immortal with the help of the video game named ‘Madden’. The EA Sports Madden series is a medium through which the NFL icon remains alive even among the younger generation of football fanatics. One such Madden fan is the Minnesota Timberwolves prodigy, Anthony Edwards.

His love and respect for John Madden are derived from the same medium. During an interview with the young NBA prodigy, the 20-year-old was asked about his reaction to Madden’s death and how he paid respect to him. ANTHONY EDWARDS PAID A UNIQUE TRIBUTE TO JOHN MADDEN As much as he loves to play Madden, the youngster revealed that he paid his respects through the game itself. “It was sickening, man,” Ant said. “I was playing Madden when I heard the news. So I had to beat somebody by 30, 40 points to show my respect.” It was funny to hear him do that. But in a way, he remembered the NFL legend and paid his soul his last respects. Anthony, later on, added that he wouldn’t want his Minnesota Timberwolves [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/minnesota-timberwolves/] teammates to join him for the Madden 3-on-3 game/tournament. He said that he would rather have YouTubers ‘BlackReign4’ and ‘Throne’ on his team. “They’d be on my team, and we won’t lose,” the player boosted [https://twitter.com/ChristopherHine/status/1477150881736900612]. His insatiable love for the game ‘Madden’ is a respect to the legend in itself. But it’ll be an even bigger tribute to John Madden if Edwards wins the whole Madden 3-on-3 tournament in the name of the legend.

Generally the case with every expansion team, the Minnesota Timberwolves initially struggled in the league. In fact, they failed to qualify for the playoffs during their first seven years in the association.?

The team then made a massive step towards development by signing Kevin Garnett. They selected Garnett with the #5 pick in the 1995 NBA Draft. Upon signing Garnett, the team made their first playoff appearance in 1997.?

Garnett had a visible positive impact on the team and guided them to the playoffs for eight consecutive years. He grew dangerously good as the 2000s decade dawned, but he couldn?t get past the conference finals with the Wolves.?

<img class="size-full wp-image-418249 aligncenter" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20201021184526/495409068.jpeg" alt="" width="1920" height="1280" />

The Wolves' downfall began when Kevin Garnett left the team in 2007. The franchise has struggled to get back on a strong note ever since its success days in the early 2000s. In fact, the Wolves have only made the playoffs once since the 2004-05 season.?
<h2 style="text-align: center">Team?s mascot and uniforms</h2>
?Crunch the Wolf? is the official mascot of the Minnesota Timberwolves. According to the Wolves? website, Crunch was <a href="https://sportsmascots.fandom.com/wiki/Crunch_the_Wolf_(Minnesota_Timberwolves)">born</a> in Minnesota wilderness with an undying love for the game and migrated to the franchise once they were formed in the Twin cities.?

He is a regular-entertainer during their home games and stands about six <a href="https://www.nba.com/timberwolves/fans/timberwolves-entertainment-crunch">feet</a> tall from the ground. The Wolves have even listed Crunch?s vertical jump as 15 feet (with trampoline)!

The primary uniform colors used by the Wolves are midnight blue, aurora green, grey, and white. These colors take charge in their jerseys and the color scheme varies depending on the type of uniform they wear for each game.?

<h3>NFL</h3>
<h3>History</h3>
In August 1920, representatives from four states: Akron, Canton, Cleveland, and Dayton, held a meeting and formed the American Professional Football Conference (APFC) to improve footballing standards in the country. A month later, they formed the American Professional Football Association (APFA) and played a league with 14 teams. In 1922, they changed the name to the National Football League (NFL).

In 1960, a new professional league, the American Football League (AFL) started as a competition against the NFL. After six years, in 1966, the two leagues announced a merger that would take effect in 1970. During the four years between the announcement and the actual merger, the leagues started playing a Championship game which was called The Super Bowl. Since then, the two leagues have been recognized as two separate conferences within the same league, the NFL.
<h3>Participating teams</h3>
There are 32 teams in the NFL divided equally into two conferences: National Football Conference (NFC) and the American Football Conference (AFC). Each conference is further divided into 4 divisions: East, North, South, and West, with each division containing four teams.
