John Madden retires

I still enjoy watching Madden's games, mainly for the comedy he provides. Aside from the sometimes strange things he says like "the team that scores more points will probably win", he's a very knowledgeable commentator, unlike some of them we get (Joe Buck, Gumbel, others).

I'll miss him.


Hopefully his video games will never retire.

Well, with no more Favre to talk about, I think we all saw this coming.

Hopefully they can hire Greg Gumble to replace him!

Seriously though, Madden wasnt the best announcer ever -- but he was entertaining. Frank Calliendo (sp) just became unemployed.... ;)

You guys ready for Michaels and Collinsworth?

Hey say what you want, Collinsworth isn't half bad.

Could be a lot worse.

Stuart Scott could be in the booth.

You mean froggy? Man, does he look like a frog with those eyes.

Ugh. I can't stand Chris Collinsworth. I think he's really negative, and smug as all hell.

I like Collinsworth ok enough but I'd like to see a more inspired choice.

I think for the primetime games they need to have guys who simply love football and present it as entertainment. I like good analysis teams but for Sunday and Monday nights they have to make it entertaining to more than just footballniks. They need someone who knows football and will enjoy being positive and fun.

Finally! I thought he was going to die in the booth.
