it will make me stop hitting mute when I play the game.<br /><br />Summerall- "What can you tell me about Tyrone Wheatley"<br />Madden- "He's been injured in the past but he seems alright now"<br /><br /> 3 seasons later in franchise mode<br /><br />Summerall- "What can you tell me about Tyrone Wheatley"<br />Madden- "He's been injured in the past but he seems alright now"

There are at least 2 ways to look at this. If Summerall is simply retiring, it's just a nice little story that'll end with some tedious tribute on FOX at some point. Overdue perhaps, but hardly gossip-page stuff. <br /><br />However, if it turns out he's NOT retiring, I'm thinking there might be some wonderfully sordid story about a possible fall-out with Big John. Maybe a wife-swap gone bad. Or maybe Pat's wife didn't appreciate a certain sig pic she saw on a site Pat was perusing, and he blamed Madden and one thing led to another. Or maybe Pat is tired of living the lie that is Madden's 6-legged turkey. Or maybe Madden's breath stinks. Or he doesn't wash his shorts whilst travelling endlessly on that dumb bus. Or maybe it's just that Summerall can't remember who Madden is from week to week, so the FOX gurus figure they can save some money and team old Pat up with Paulie Shore or something. We can hope, right?<br /><br />Is this a classic Redskins off-season thread or what? <img border="0" title="" alt="[smile]" src="smile.gif" />

I think it was the wife swapping thing. Didn't two member of the Yankees do that in the late 70s. I think Madden traded his wife for Summeralls' and 3rd pick in the draft. By the way, I am wondering where Om got a picture of my wife's butt!!<br /> <br /> [ January 22, 2002: Message edited by: Riggens ]

I hope he is retiring altogther. I can't stand him. He is why I listen to Frank, Sonny and Sam. All thourgh his broadcast career when he did a REDSKINS/dallas game you can tell he favered dallas in his reporting of the game. Someone years ago asked him about that and he denied it. Then we find out that he lives and have a business in dallas. What a a-hole. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="mad.gif" />

Madden: "... and so WHAM Marshall Faulk almost breaks Siragusa's canckles with that move and then WHIFF, just like that he's gone. What a move! And hey, canckles THAT big aren't easy to break, let me tell you. Here let me circle them, you know, as soon as Tony moves his middle out of the shot. Need a wide angle lens to cover all that territory. GEE that's a middle, don't you think Art?"<br /><br />Art: "John, I must correct you, though, not in a way to strain your limited cerebellum, nor the collective gray matter, such as it is, of the viewing audience.<br /><br />First, employing ‘WHAM' as an exclamation, in this instance, misses the mark. Your comment would have been more effective had you elected to say, for example, ‘snap, crackle, pop' thus providing the comment, inter alia, with more acute mental imagery, and enabling, therefore, the listening and viewing audience to be engaged to a degree not engendered by the unimaginative and parochial usage of ‘WHAM.' <br /><br />Second, Marshall clearly was not ‘gone.' Had you followed the play in question to its conclusion, you would have noticed that Faulk was, in fact, tackled by Rod Woodson 26 yards down the field. ‘Gone,' while often used as a relative term, is improperly applied in this instance, as you would know were you in fact a professional broadcaster in anything resembling the classic sense, and not the overstuffed, cartoonish blowhard you have proven to be, sadly, for these many years.<br /><br />Third, saying "what a move,' in the context in which you did, is redundant and unnecessary in the extreme, something which, I submit, is also applicable to the dynamic inherent in your continued presence within this sound booth. A situation which, parenthetically, is under review at this time. Though, I'm not supposed to say that. <img border="0" title="" alt="[smile]" src="smile.gif" /> <br /><br />Fourth, unless you have any actual factual basis for sallying the proposition that ‘canckles THAT big aren't easy to break,' you should refrain from generalizations. Big Daddy Lipscomb was known to have canckles the rival of any player to play the game, and yet, prior to a practice session in Baltimore in the Colts 1959 training camp, Alan Ameche once broke one of Lipscomb's canckles simply by sneaking up behind him in the chow line and saying "I love the cut of your jib, Big Daddy, how about you and I tape each other up before practice?" As Lipscomb turned, understandably, to administer quick and vicious, though just, retribution, his right canckle broke cleanly in two places. So, your assertion that canckles THAT big aren't easy to break, while already an unsupported generalization, is also refuted by clear historical precedent. Endeavor to more properly prepare in the future.<br /><br />Fifth, Siragusa's middle is NOT requiring of a wide-angle lens to be covered in this shot. Had you looked at the monitor prior to, or while, making this assertion, you likely would have noticed that the entirety of the middle in question is, in fact, captured within the frame. Not easily, it is true, as you can see the optical lensing effect near the edges of the screen have warped Siragusa's love handles to the point of positive grotesqueness. However, as the preponderance of the viewing audience is now properly equipped with liquid plasma, wide-screen HDTV-capable letter-box orientation (with Tivo, naturally), it is likely a large percentage of them found your comment inapplicable, nonsensical and confusing. <br /><br />Strive for clarity of thought and expression, John. It will serve you well. Not as well as it serves me, granted but well enough. You can't expect miracles, after all.<br /><br />What is, is, John. <img border="0" title="" alt="[smile]" src="smile.gif" /> <br /><br />John?"<br /><br />[silence]<br /><br />[producer's voice]: "*audible sigh* ... game's over, Art."<br /> <br /> [ January 23, 2002: Message edited by: Om ]

Hey hangman55, I like that MNF line up. Anything to get Dennis Miller out of there is fine with me. <img border="0" title="" alt="[big Grin]" src="biggrin.gif" /> I don't care much for Safeway, I shop at SuperFresh but I will go and check out the new store. Did you say that you opened the store, like you work for SW or that you were involved in the remodeling?
