John Madden retires from broadcasting

[DallasEast]

cool I will see if I can produce the 1.21 jiggawatts.

now you make the 1:64th scale of the road, and try and get time to paint it.

Time isn't really an issue when you have a time machine. :

Heard on the radio a while ago that speculation is that NBC will try to pry Trent Dilfer away from ESPN to replace Madden.

 

[burmafrd]

Frankly he has become a caricature over the last few years. Should have retired a couple ago.

 

[JPM]

I vote for Frank Caliendo.

It's a very sad day, indeed. I'll miss him.

For some reason, I'm drawing a blank regarding Millen's broadcasting style or experience. I just can't stand Collinsworth's voice - way too gravelly. It cracks me up that his dad is a Speech Pathologist. Hey, Pops. Charity begins at home. lol

Dilfer??? He's more of an analyst than a color commentary host. That'll be be akin to adding another Al Micheals to the booth.

Summerall and Madden together were the best ever.

Don't break Joe Buck's heart.

Who cares about Joe Buck?? If Troy takes the MNF spot, then that means we won't have to listen to him bash our Boys every other week.

I Like Troy alot I acctually think Buck drags it down IMO. Moose is also one I like. Phill Simms and Collinsworth are enjoyable as well.

Hey not everyone has the same taste in what they like in Broadcasters

Madden always sounded like he was eating...:laugh2: I'll miss the over emphasis on small things and the sound effects.

Okay! Back off! Don't make me go all Christopher Lloyd on ya!

Very sad. I was looking forward to him raving about the new stadium. Harry Kalas just dropped dead in the booth at the same age as Madden (73), so maybe that influenced his decision. Enjoy your golden years, John, and thanks for decades of free entertainment.

Good point.

I`m sad, Madden was a big part of the NFL, he will be missed.
I hope Collinsworth gets the job, he is great at it.

"no matter what anyone else thought" or "in my opinion"
pick one

Or, kiss ***?

 

[tunahelper]

think FOX is going to allow NBC to break up the Buck/Aikman team.

There is one guy out there who's a natural fit and alot of people in the biz thought he was a natural replacement for when Madded calls it in:

That is a good assessment. Millen always seemed like a Madden clone when was announcing games. He wasnt too bad and better than Collinsworth.
