Announcer Jonh Madden Retires
Posted by Supermario
Quoted post: NEW YORK -- John Madden is retiring from football announcing, where his enthusiastic, down-to-earth style made him one of sports' most popular broadcasters for three decades.
The Hall of Fame coach spent the last three seasons on NBC's "Sunday Night Football." His final telecast was the Super Bowl in February.
"You know at some point you have to do this -- I got to that point," Madden said on his Bay Area radio show Thursday. "The thing that made it hard is not because I'm second-guessing, 'Is it the right decision?' But I enjoyed it so **** much.
"I enjoyed the game and the players and the coaches and the film and the travel and everything."
Cris Collinsworth will replace Madden, moving over from the network's studio show, NBC Sports chief Dick Ebersol said. Collinsworth filled in when Madden took a game off last October.
Ebersol called Madden "absolutely the best sports broadcaster who ever lived."

This is too bad. I liked John Madden as an announcer. He knew so much about the game and he talked about it in simple terms. His voice will be missed.:(

Posted by OmniAs usual, Panic expresses a gay opinion. I don't really care about John Madden, however.
Posted by Shin-RaI don't miss Madden at all. Like, his voice is nostalgiac but he's so so bad about stating the obvious. I'm so much happier with Troy Aikman as an announcer because he's not an idiot and he was like my childhood hero.
