That's a shame. He made me feel really smart.:school:

 

[kmziegelbauer]

I will miss his babbling rants, telestrator scribbling and the random BOOM!

He was in rare form during the last superbowl. I'll miss him on the rare occasion that I watch.

It's about effing time.

Dude, you don't even watch football do you?

 

[Whatever Dude]

Ah uncle John. I will miss his hamfisted paw holding that microphone. Seriously, i will miss his undying admiration of Brett Favre, as a Favre fan myself.

He, and most of the other "sports casters" are one of the reasons I rarely watch football jobs, er, uh, games.

I won't miss him, I really disliked his broadcasting technique. He really knows the game, but is an awful commentator.

Brad I see you saying you don't like sports because you don't pay to watch people work, yet you talk about watching movies all the time. Actors are working too, so yes you do watch people work.

 

[eddiemon]

He really knows the game.

I will miss John Madden.

What you need to do is get in the endzone, if you can do that more than the other team you win.

Will be missed, but what a bad comentator

They play that whole commentation on the radio down here constantly.

Sure, but what they do isn't called a game. Call me a purist.

 

[Coop]

No it's called "acting" which is really just pretending. At least games are real

+ a billion.


I can't even begin to think about how many times he called a play and said that some thing happened, when in reality, the exact opposite thing happened.

He should have retired somewhere between 5 and 10 years ago. Hopefully, his departure will mean the end of that stupid-ass 'horse trailer' crap, too.

 

[Ober]

He was a character for sure. I just grew up with him as a part of football, did he offer the brightest commentary? No, but he was entertaining in his heyday. I will miss him. When he and summerall were at the top of their game it was enjoyable 10+ years ago.

He was inducted to the hall of fame the same year as Aikman, which I attended. It was interesting to hear his speech and the things he did in his time in the NFL before my time.

It's a good thing I grabbed up my signature quote while I had the chance!!! ;D

Also acceptable...

A Brett Farve is a Brett Favre, and it's always been a Brett Favre, and this was a Brett Favre.

 

[AcidReign]

Funny, but mine I actually gleened from a broadcast this year when I was surfing the forum with the game on in the background. That is indeed a direct John Maddenism.

Hey, the offensive linemen are the biggest guys on the field, they're bigger than everybody else, and that's what makes them the biggest guys on the field.

A dance later in the evening, I think is basically what we were thinking
