He gets so fixated on one thing that he misses some important points.
He focused so much on Eli with respect to the red line that he failed to notice that the red line indicating the line of scrimmage was off about a 1/2 yard to a yard from the actual line of scrimmage.
He focused so much on Cartright first touching the ball down that he failed to realize that that is not the rule for downing a ball on a punt.

and BOTH times, Madden was making him look stupid
The Eli over the line of scrimmage penalty - Al Michaels kept referring to the heel of Eli's foot touching the line of scrimmage thereby making it a legal throw while Madden was saying it doesn't matter because the ball had not been released yet until AFTER his heel was off and in front of the line. Al Michaels for some reason didn't understand that and kept going back to the heel. idiot.
Last night downing the ball incident - Al Michaels kept saying that it didn't appear that any part of the Commander player's body touched the goal line before the threw the ball into play... while Madden was trying to explain to him that the refs were not looking at that part of the play but rather at the part afterwards when the ball hit his body while he was on the goal line
LOL Al Michaels... wow

While I watched those incessant reviews on that touchback play, I kept thinking 'Why?'...Why are they continually reviewing this play?...You could see it from the first take that it hit him on the rear as he was already on the goal line...They repeated that replay over and over again, it was totally unnecessary
Speaking of which, hearing the ref saying it 'Hit him on the rear' was pretty comical...Couldn't he have simply said 'It touched the player while he was in the endzone'??
