PFT: Millen's presence on NBC fueling Madden rumors

[CowboyMike]

Collinsworth=2nd best color commentator behind Phill Simms.

We're all entitled to our own opinions. And I happen to share yours. (although The Moose is tied with Collinsworth in my book.)

The Moose may be second, no one on CBS surely is, but it's a distant second behind former QB Troy Aikman.

 

[The Curly One]

Chris Collingsworth is an idiot and I cant stand to listen to him.

Based on the title of this thread, I thought EA Sports was replacing Madden with Millen.

Two words...

Brent Musberger.

Remember when CBS did the NFC games?

I will never forget, "You're looking live at Texas Stadium!"

Gives me chills to think about it.

Did anyone watch the Cotton Bowl yesterday?

It was good hearing Summerall again- I miss Madden and him, the sound of them together reminds me of Dallas butt-kickings.

Ayuh, Madden and Summerall were the voice of football for me. Al Michaels aint bad though opposite Madden.

synonymous with many sundays of football growing up.

I like what I know of Madden the person.

His announcing leaves a lot to be desired...he hasn't had the same energy since around the mid-90's.

And the "SO big and SO strong" stuff, among other things...I won't miss that.

But Cris Collinsworth is awful.

That pre game show is still the benchmark for all of them.

LMAO. I was just watching the halftime segment and wondering what the hell was Millen doing up there. I hope big John doesn't retire though. I enjoy when he comentates our games.

I didn't even know who it was when I first heard his voice. My back was turned from the TV and it sounded like Mike Golic. I was like what Mike Golic doing on NBC.

I saw Madden in person during the Hall of Fame weekend a year and a half ago (Irvin's induction class).

He appeared much more physically fragile / frail in person than he looks on television. I was quite surprised.

If Madden is retiring, I like the way he is choosing to leave (and being allowed to leave). No big fanfare, no season long farewell tour, no major hype for rating purposes, etc. Just an understated retirement with dignity. An exit with class. Seems fitting.

I am sorry, but I just cant take Matt Millen seriously. After the way he $%^&$% up that Detroit franchise it is hard to actually take anything he says seriously.

I was watching him tonight and it was all I could do from laughing my arse off just looking at him.

I couldnt imagine him in the booth doing a Cowboy's game, I would have to mute the TV, seriously.

 

[Zen]

Madden looks old and tired, plus they use a ton of make-up on madden to try and make him look like he is not dead. You look at millen and you think....this guy is wicked ********.

Yeah I agree.

Bradshaw and Long in the booth in the LSU Notre Dame (I think this was the game) was really good too.

I was thinking the same thing.

Summerall was the best.

 

[Concord]

I will miss Madden when he parks the bus.

Me too.

I've always liked Musberger.

And loved that You're looking live...

I like him and Kirk Herbstreit together doing College.

Yep...it was a Great one.

 

[LittleBoyBlue]

Why does someone like Madden have to retire?

One game a week for 16-18 weeks or whatever??

We already know he doesnt really prepare anything...

He just say... "Boom.. Brett Favre"

or "Bam... LaDanian Tomlinson"

etc...etc...

:laugh1:

Collinsworth=2nd best color commentator behind Phill Simms.

Phil Simms? Jesus H Christ, he is truly AWFUL, the master at misreporting the obvious.

Collinsworth may be the 2nd best color guy, and he is truly excellent, but Simms is vying with Theisman for the most Downs-like NFL commentator. GOD he sucks.

Ah... damn... the good old days.

NFL Today, with Phyllis The Original M.I.L.F. George. She had to know she was rubout material for legions of 11 year old football fans.

I am sorry, but I just cant take Matt Millen seriously. After the way he $%^&$% up that Detroit franchise it is hard to actually take anything he says seriously.

Didn't the Lions just set the absolute, unbreakable record for futility in a season? Then what is this knuckledragging mouthbreather doing giving HIS opinions on the NFL? Didn't he just score a zero on the NFL version of the SAT? Who wants to hear ANYTHING this clown has to say?!?!? I'd rather have Rowdy do analysis, he's at least seen an occasional win this year.
