John Madden, NFL coach/broadcaster, age 85

Madden was a guy every couple years I'd check to see if he'd died. He just seemed like someone who shouldn't still be alive.
Making it to 85 with that physique is remarkable.
He looked like a guy who had a salami in his jacket pocket.

A quick google search indicates he was 6’4”/193cm and weighed 209 lbs/95 kg in 2021, which isn't terrible. His peak weight must have been much higher at one point - I always assumed he was a guy who scarfed down 3 meals of fried chicken a day and went around destroying toilet bowls. But yeah, making it to 85 ain’t bad at all. Good for him, he seemed like a decent guy.

6'4" and 209 is pretty on-target, even on the slender side because of his height. Slow declining illness, perhaps.

That's 250 min at 6'4":

Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Yup, sounds about right. Based on that photo I would've assumed he'd check out around age 68.
