Word is breaking that John Madden is retiring. An announcement and press release will come soon.............

[kdubya]

Great, now who is going to make football vdeo games?

Chuck Noll

[drjoek]

This should shake things up. Domino style with changing assignments. Kind of like when Carson retired.

Great, now who is going to make football vdeo games?

I was thinking I could do it.

[WampusCrandle]

hopefully this will stop Frank Caliendo from doing impressions

[King Hippos Bandaid]

I feel bad for the person who cleans the Madden Bus Bathroom

I like Madden for his Video Game, coaching and love for greasy food , but not his mediocre at best color commentating

is it wrong to wish god took him not Harry Kalas

[El Mudo]

Love him or hate him, can't ignore the impact he's had on the Game. Been past his prime for years now though.


I miss the late 80s-mid 90s era NFL

[RhinoinMN]

If true, this will be one of the happiest days in my life.

[ihaveabadmonkey]

This is going to hurt the Devils.

Ohhhhhhh that John Madden.

[boobieman]

But who..who will circle the bees with John gone....who will ramble on while 2 plays have passed.

So long fat back...and drive into the sun.

SEEYAYAYAYAYAYAA

[DOHO@HOME]

THERE IS A GOD:clap:

[Tenbatsuzen]

I would think that Kalas dying - and he and Madden being the same age - definitely had something to with this.

[A.J.]

But he's still going to do those wonderful Ace Hardware and Tinactin commercials, right?

[foodcourtdruide]

I bet the LIEEEBERAL media won't cover this story at all.

[hammersavage]

Make Cris Collinsworth the voice for the next 25 years.

[topless_mike]

its official. (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,516737,00.html)

unless he takes a page from the brett favre playbook.


see what i did there?

[topless_mike]

Make Cris Collinsworth the voice for the next 25 years.

dear god.
i'd rather have the 6 legged turkey be the voice than that clown.

[hammersavage]

He's the most competent and knowledgeable broadcaster in the NFL.

[Ritalin]

Make Cris Collinsworth the voice for the next 25 years.

If I ever feel like killing myself I'm going to lock myself in a room with Collinsworth and Tim McCarver and suffer a death by smugness and boredom.

[razorboy]

Go ahead and put that pencil-necked narrow shouldered nasally voiced prick in the booth. I hardly ever listen to the TV audio anyway.

[razorboy]

I guess its official now, Cris "Mr. Burns/Kenneth from 30 Rock" Collinsworth is Madden's replacement. Ugh.

[KnoxHarrington]

I hope this starts a streak of sports commentators long past their prime (or never that good anyway) who stay on the air out of pure inertia retiring so that better commentators can replace them.

This means you, Dick Vitale.

[kdubya]

Make Cris Collinsworth the voice for the next 25 years.


I would love that, Collinsworth adds to the game, providing real insight from someone that understand the game, not just some dick trying to push himself, I am talking to you Joe Buck.

[Gvac]

Favre retires so Madden retires?

Greatest man crush of all time.

[Ritalin]

Favre retires so Madden retires?

Greatest man crush of all time.

Greater than ESD and Donnie Baseball?

[hammersavage]

I would love that, Collinsworth adds to the game, providing real insight from someone that understand the game, not just some dick trying to push himself, I am talking to you Joe Buck.

Exactly. He is the maybe the only, or at least the best, former athlete that I would never know was one because he's such a great broadcaster.

[cougarjake13]

so it will be al and chris ??


hmm might take awhile to get used to

[STC-Dub]

Can't Wait for Saragussa 2011!
