Title: john madden retires from broadcasting Post by: Fau Teixeira on April 16, 2009, 11:47:13 am http://nbcsports.msnbc.com/id/30246064/
WOOOOOO on a personal note, it isn't one minute too soon .. i can't stand john madden, i think his commentary is obvious and his insight is shallow and inane. he's boring and repetitive and i would rather watch ian eagle and solomon wilcots than another john madden broadcast that is all Title: Re: john madden retires from broadcasting Post by: Brian Fein on April 16, 2009, 11:55:15 am Woo frickin HOO!
I'm sure people will call it the end of an era and all that BS. I'm glad. Buh bye. Or maybe he's just waiting to un-retire like his boyfriend. Title: Re: john madden retires from broadcasting Post by: jtex316 on April 16, 2009, 11:59:56 am John Madden is a good color analyst. My favorites are Troy Aikman and Daryl Johnston, but John Madden is definitely good. Solomon Wilcots is a hack (and so is Steve Tasker - jesus chirst those guys are painful)
The reason John Madden is a good COLOR analyst is because he does exactly that - add COLOR to the broadcast. Steve Tasker, Wilcots, and several others try so hard to be "professional" that they come off sounding nervous, demeaning, and like they are talking down to you. Even Dick Vitale (whom I hate) is better than Solomon Wilcotts. Thanks for the years of service John!

I have to disagree here. This is a sad day as one of the best in the business decides to call it a career. He'll probably spend his days travelling in the Madden Bus to football games as a fan. Title: Re: john madden retires from broadcasting Post by: Sunstroke on April 16, 2009, 02:54:13 pm I am happy to see John retire...it was getting painful listening to him talk on air the last few seasons. Happy trails to the man who made the Turducken famous... May your bus always run smooth and may there always be an all you can eat buffet just a few miles up the highway. Title: Re: john madden retires from broadcasting Post by: gocowboys31 on April 16, 2009, 03:38:29 pm Summerall and Madden were the best, end of discussion.
Title: Re: john madden retires from broadcasting Post by: stinkfish on April 16, 2009, 05:02:00 pm This makes me sad. I love Madden.
Title: Re: john madden retires from broadcasting Post by: Rick on April 16, 2009, 07:03:35 pm John Madden is/was one of my favorite sports commentators of all time....he shared my love and passion for the game of football...Madden will be missed GREATLY in this house on Sundays.
Title: Re: john madden retires from broadcasting Post by: Dave Gray on April 16, 2009, 08:36:33 pm For all of his flaws, I like Madden. He's the devil you know, at the very least.
Title: Re: john madden retires from broadcasting Post by: SportsChick on April 16, 2009, 10:13:05 pm Collingsworth is taking over for him....
Title: Re: john madden retires from broadcasting Post by: jtex316 on April 16, 2009, 10:35:08 pm Collingsworth is taking over for him.... GREAT. I hope everyone is still happy and cheering "Wooooo!!" that madden is retired. Well, you thought Madden was painful...get ready for this clown. Title: Re: john madden retires from broadcasting Post by: MyGodWearsAHoodie on April 17, 2009, 10:40:37 am You see (pointing to incomprehendable scribles on a telepromter) first he went to the left, then he shifted to the right than he spun around looking for a turducken, this froze the defensive line allowing Collingsworth to slip thru the empty hole.
That is why Brett Favre is the greatest QB to have ever played the game. ======== Anyone think that maybe Madden will follow in his idols footsteps and unretire in a couple of months? Title: Re: john madden retires from broadcasting Post by: YoFuggedaboutit on April 17, 2009, 06:10:42 pm Looks like he might end up in the Raiders front office.

If some guy like Brett Favre throws into triple coverage he was 'trying to make a play' or 'squeezing the ball in there cause he has shown the ability to do that', some other guy it would be termed as an awful play or one he should have thrown away.
Title: Re: john madden retires from broadcasting Post by: bsmooth on April 18, 2009, 02:32:08 pm I didnt mind Madden until he started going wild with the pen. Just keep the pen away from here. WHen he started diagraming the Oakland Hills fires during a 49ers game, I wanted to choke him.
Title: Re: john madden retires from broadcasting Post by: Spider-Dan on April 20, 2009, 03:47:21 pm This was an obvious case of cause-and-effect.
Brett Favre retired, for real this time. Without Favre, Madden had no reason to continue broadcasting. There was just nothing left in it for him.
