KDawg Posted April 16, 2009 Author Share Posted April 16, 2009 I'm sure John will still do some kind of part time analysis thing for ESPN or someone, though. Maybe a ten minute segment or something from his backyard. Once the game of football is in you, you can't get it out. I'm surprised with the amount of hate here. The guy is a football legend, like him or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubba9497 Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 I'm going to miss him enjoy retirement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CM916 Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 He already did retire as the announcer in his own video games, though he still played a role in the intros. It never felt right, as annoying as the random statements would get. He was one of my favorite announcers in the real world though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonOfWashington Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 I wonder if the Madden NFL franchise will go on in his name past 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DGreenistheBest Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Wow. Always thought he'd just work til he died. Football won't be the same... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjfootballer Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Liked him in his early years with Summerall. Hated him when the Cowboys won their SB's in the 90's. He was slobbering all over them. Can't say his last 10 years have been great, but it was time. He was slipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsOrlando Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Madden has been a fixture for football since I've been watching, won't be the same without him. And for all things holy don't put collinsworth in there, he's ****in horrid. "Now I can't understand why on 3rd and short they decided to run the ball" "Now I can't understand why on 3rd and short they decided to pass the ball" I can't take a whole season of that.

Oldskool Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 I wonder if the Madden NFL franchise will go on in his name past 2010. No reason to change the title of the cashcow at all. Madden has equated to football for the 26+ years i've watched this sport. The end of an era really has set in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Campbell17 Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Aww I loved that guy as a commentator. Have a nice retirement, Madden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiro Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 That's a real pity. I'm going to miss seeing him announce games with Al Michaels on Sunday Nights. Collinsworth isn't bad .. but he's no Madden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.A.C.O.L.B. Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 He already did retire as the announcer in his own video games, though he still played a role in the intros. It never felt right, as annoying as the random statements would get. He was one of my favorite announcers in the real world though. I pray Collinsworth isn't doing the color commentary in Madden 10. I thought he was horrible in last years. I'm not saying he's a horrible announcer, just that he was horrible in the game. IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
