He will be missed. A little weird but I'm not one to cast stones.

Great guy, or so it would seem...
 
"The best way to gain yardage, is by moving the ball down the field".

I cant think of any broadcaster who could get away with the painfully obvious as Madden has.

John Madden Retires

Madden seems to be a fine person, however, he made mediocrity an art form as play-by-play announcer.

He continuely set low personal standards and then consistently failed to achieve them.

I personally won't miss Madden doing the play-by-play. I have Madden right-up there with the likes of Lee Corso, Lou Holtz, Dick Vitale, and Billy Packard, and several others, as the all time worst announcers.


Enjoy your retirement Mr. Madden... I certainly will.

He is retiring to get back out on the field and play in the S.C.N.F.L. that's "the senior citizens national football leauge".

Madden's got a lot of Yogi Berra in him... often times when he sounds like an imbecile a closer look at what he's saying reveals a pretty sharp mind.

I'm actually serious. :D

I'll miss him. He's been the voice of football for my entire life, and I'm not all that young.

I like Madden as a person, but I wasn't exactly in awe of his talents as a broadcaster. Maybe I'll miss his commentating, but I doubt it...

Well, with the recent passing of Harry Kalas and now John Madden retiring....the voices of my youth are gone with the exception of Merril Reese.

I think its a turd inside a duck inside a chicken.

Or maybe a turkey that fucked a chicken.

Whatever it is it looks delicious!
