You're obviously too young to remember Curt Gowdy, if you want to talk terrible. Madden did tail off in recent years, but in his prime he was pretty darn good in my book.
-
Curt Gowdy? Was he from the stains glory years?
Wait - did they have TV back then?

As if I needed more evidence that you are under the age of 18.John Madden has forgotten more about football than you'll ever know.
Yeah he got a bit Harry Carry-ish towards the end, but it was part of his charm...
I'll be sad to see him go, especially now that we'll have Chris Collingsworthless in the booth. I really dislike that guy, but you kinda saw it coming, for those of you who own Madden 09 Chris does the color commentary during the game.
I concur. Madden was great. He is the epitome of football. I will surely miss him in the booth.
-
I'll miss the goofy oaf.
Tough Actin' Tinactin!

22 actually. and the reason i didn't madden was because we always slurped brett favre and it drove me crazy. as stated before, i have nothing against the guy and hope he lives a long life, but as an announcer he wasn't too good for my taste
-
I liked Madden & will miss him...of course, I'm old too!
Collinsworth?....I'll only tolerate him if I absolutely HAVE to.

one thing that's good about collinsworth is that he hates pittsburgh and it shows in his commentary. surely this guy can't be all bad
-
Collinsworth is a PUSS! I cant stand to listen to the whining bitch.
Those old enough to remember when he played for the Bengals, his last couple of seasons he would always have a injury so he would not have to play against our Brownies Hanford & Minnifield. They knocked the shit out of him several times. He hated the real Dog defense, and the Dog pound. Thank you Marty.
Sometimes I wonder who was the biggest Puss back then, Collinsworth or Boomer?

Why sure, if you were real lucky, there was even color TV! And for a terrible RADIO announcer, I nominate Myron "the Dope" Cope. BTW, I'm old enough to say Myron sounded exactly like Arnold Stang. Did he broadcast with a clothespin on his nose, or was that the bad air from the Steel Mills that made him sound like he had emphysema?
-
John was a real meat and potatoes blue collared kind of guy who never had a bad thing to say about anyone and was nothing short of a class act.
Yes, he was slipping and it was time to retire but I'm going to miss that lovable down to earth lunk just as much as Pat Summerall (well, before he started drinking in the booth).
-
that was great
-
That's right, folks - it isn't just a Maddenism.
Happy trails, John....and I hope you don't force Brett Favre to get a restraining order.

Boo hoo. Who cares.
