#98QBKiller Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Wow that sucks, I may be in the minority but I like Madden as a commentator.

ixcuincle Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 He was great. Last season when Madden took a week off to stay in the San Fran area Collinsworth filled in for him as color commentator. I suspect Collinsworth will be nominated to replace the legend. He may have stated the obvious sometimes, and been a subject of ridicule, but damn it, he was a fixture in the industry. Farewell legend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stophovr6 Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Bummer. It's probably for the best though. Traveling around on a bus half the year and staying up late probably has it's tolls on an older man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No_Pressure Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Well you see here folks what you have here is a guy HEH HEHHEH HEH He's tired of broadcasting so people said hey John, why don't you retire and then BOOM HEH HEY he retired, and that's what you gotta do, when you don't want to do something anymore you uhhhhhh you uhh well ya don't do it and that's what he's doing right there with the job and that's what that's all about.

PCS Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 http://nbcsports.msnbc.com/id/30246064/ Well ****. I never got tired of him. I really didn't. He always called the games with enthusiasm and like he was just one of the guys. I'm quite certain that if it wasn't for he and Dierdorf,(sp),linemen would have been waiting a lot longer to get the recognition that they get today. Some favorites of mine when he called some Redskins games back in Joe Gibbs 1st term as coach. "Clark with the catch and the first down. You know John,Gary Clark would be a player to start off on the All Madden Team." "Oh yeah Pat. That's what do. You just start off with ol' number 84 and go from there." *********** "Gary Clark is a lineman in a receiver's body." ****** "Looks like Russ Grimm is bleeding there John." "Ya know that's the thing about Russ Grimm. He's one of those tough guys who could play anytime. The 50's,70's,60's. He gets hurt and he just rubs some dirt on it." Thanks for the memories John. At your best,you made watching football that much more fun. Edit: Oh. It is the offseason and considering who it is, the thread is fine where it's at.

CPortJGibbs89 Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 It is AFTER this seasonOh we have one more season with him? I know he was getting old and at times he says stuff that makes no sense but his voice just booms with nothing but pure football for me. I remember when I was younger and started watching football and heard Madden and Summerall calling a game and I was just hooked.Everytime I heard them together I would get chills and know its football season. I think its the right time for him to go though because he is losing his touch, I am going to miss his voice though. Like someone else mentioned Aikman and Buck are my favorite group out there now.

Hambone26 Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 I wonder what's going to happen to the Madden EA game franchise? Will they keep making Madden games since it's developed such a reputation? In 10 years will kids be buying Madden 2020 and not know who the game is named after? Who can answer these questions?!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry I believe I read it wrong. This is from PFT.com: NBC Sports chairman Dick Ebersol announced Thursday that living-legend NFL broadcaster John Madden is retiring. And we had it pegged earlier this year, after Matt Millen made an unscheduled appearance on the playoff edition of NBC’s pregame show, Football Night In America: “In our estimation, John Madden will retire from broadcasting after the season, Cris Collinsworth will take Madden’s place on NBC’s Sunday Night Football, and Millen will replace Collinsworth on FNIA,” we wrote on January 3.

ECU-ALUM Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 It's easy to take shots at him now...but back in the mid 80's through the late 90's...he was the best in the business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Godfather Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Aikman and Buck are my favorite group out there now. By far, the worst sports broadcasting duo of all time! (Although Charles Barkley beats them both by himself.) :dunce: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
