See, the problem with John Madden is that he fucking repeats himself over and over and over and OVER until you just want to poleaxe him. If I had to hear one more time about how Gruden prefers balance in his offense, or how he likes to run when he’s ahead, or how much faster the Bucs’ defense was than the Raiders’ offensive line, I would have suffered an extremely painful cerebral hemorrhage. And then Madden would have commented on it three or four times.
John, just say it once, and then say something else. If you can’t think of something to say that you haven’t already said, SHUT THE FUCK UP! Let us watch the goddamn game already!
Oh, and thanks so much for circling the head of the Bucs’ owner. So informative.
Be careful what you wish for- when it winds up being Dan Dierdorf and Joe Theismann calling games, you’ll be waxing nostalgic for Michaels and Madden.
[sub]I kinda like Madden- he’s like a loveable drunken uncle calling the game.[/sub]
Bah…Lakers are sucking monkey ass now that Chick Hearn ain’t fielding calls for them. GOD I MISS HEARN.
I had to watch ESPN Classic just to get my fix.
back to the OP, I like Al. At least he does not have any funky hangups (Ass biting and weird toups) and is a great guy. Madden was better in his heyday when he got into the game and consumed 6 packs while working and I want my electronic madden scribble the shit out of a television commentary back too. Nowadays, feh.
If I hear one more time why Madden is not going to the Probowl though, I am gonna puke.
I don’t like John Madden. I hate this mindless repetitive mumbling so much that I often tell people that I think he actually contributes to the dumbing down of the tv audience.
Not only can I NOT stand Madden’s incessant yammering in that extremely annoying voice of his, I also detest it when he decides to start drawing on my TV screen. I’m not blind, I can see the game and the plays. I don’t need some antique showing me again, and again, what I just saw. Sheesh!
