Madden to NBC in 2006 (http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/3691676)
I think this diminishes Madden as a commentator. He's changing jobs yet again, when I'm sure he could continue to do the Monday gig on ESPN if he wanted to. He seems even more like a hired gun, not a part of an announcing team.
It also doesn't change the real problem with his telecasts: He won't get the best game his network has to offer, just whatever game is scheduled

Why should these people act like comradarie is part of their jobs. These guys are hired guns, they don't form broadcast teams to go for their job interview. They go after the money just like we do.
That sucks I liked the Madden-Michaels team on MNF. I just hope they get a real football guy to team with Michaels. The whole Dennis Miller experiment was just dumb.
I don't look at this as a negative on Madden. He's free to pursue whatever job he wants.

Michaels may be out of the loop, anyway. This won't start until next year, when ABC won't have football. I don't know that ESPN will break up their 10 on-air team to bring in Michaels and a player to be named.
Michaels to ESPN makes sense. He's the best play by play guy in football in my opinion. Somebody will "make room" for him when he becomes available.

I wonder what impact this will have on the espn license in the videogame, which i think is to begin next year?

Well, Mike Patrick (the current ESPN play-by-play man) has had health problems, which led to his temporary replacement by Pat Summerall last year. Does any team in the league have a booth that can contain Michaels, Theismann, and McGuire?

I wish they would lose McGuire already
