In other news, Frank Caliendo shoots himself. ^_^
Oh, article: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/17/sports/football/17madden.html (http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/17/sports/football/17madden.html)
Thank God. He should have left along a couple years ago.
I know he annoys most people here, but I love the guy. Even if he offers up no real insight into the game, he's still entertaining. It's like watching a game with grandpa :)
Hope he comes back & does a few games here & there, like Keith Jackson.

It is good to go out on top. Which is exactly what Madden would have done if he had retired in 1994.
About time. He did not look well last year.
If they use Chris Collinsworth as his replacement, I'll have the every employee of NBC crucified. Not only is he a Ravenshater, but he's a terrible announcer too.

That's how I felt when watching Pat Summerall. Especially when he was drunk :wub:
Now we need to knock off Dick Vitale, and we'll be in good shape.

Yeah, that's about right. Still, there comes a time when grandpa gets really pale and thin and unwell, and it's time to put him in a home and ignore him.

Never did like Pat's voice.
Thank God, he should have retired a decade ago.

All that remains is to "retire" Kornheiser and Jaworski :shifty:

To be fair, he has to dumb down his commentary for people who don't really 'get' football, like you and all the other Patriots fans.

In what way? Serious question here, I don't think he's great or anything, he's just never bothered me.

His speaking style just annoys me. He seems to overenunciate, and sounds like he's yelling rather than speaking.
Anyway, we need more Joe Theisman in broadcasted NFL games :)
I'll take Jaworski over Theisman any day of the week.

:) Have you heard my Theisman story?
Hopefully the video game series sticks around, I find him hilarious in it.

Well that does make a certain amount of sense. Though it's a mixed blessing. Women find "fast" men less interesting.

1 for 2 this year. :contract:
Football players get injured? :o
+1 Big John should have left 10 years ago.
+1 Jaworski is great.
Two things more they should change: Aikman needs to learn how to say "that." Moose needs to get that deformity of a pinkie fixed. That thing really gnarls me out.
