Madden to Join NBC in 2006

Keep in mind who his replacement will be..

I hear you. Like I said the whole rest of that crew ought to go.....

True.

I hate Collinsworth more than any other person on the planet, including Mike Patrick, Joe Theisman and Paul Maguire.

I like John Madden. He is a nostalgic figure to me. Of course I dont watch football games for the commentators and try not to get caught up in dissecting what they say. But Madden has been the recognizable analyst since I started watching football, so inevitably I will miss him when he does retire. I can say the only commentator that has ever made me want to change the channel was Gumbel.

Shut your dirty mouth.

You've lived a charmed life if that is your "most hated" list.

People may hate on Paul Maguire, but I like him. He doesn't take himself seriously, and none of you should either. I still remember when he started chowing down on some turkey in the booth on a Thanksgiving Day game. That was funny. He gives much needed comic relief. And, Nessler - Griese - Maguire - Arute is the best team ABC has for college football.

They spend half the game making fun of Maguire, which was tired the first 500 times they did it. Spoils the solid call from Nessler & Griese.

I basically don't like when people rhyme. That, and I hate when people try to be funny and fail miserably. That pretty much sums up that awful excuse for a crew.

Ooh ooh ooh, can we get Olbermann to do the game so we can hear stupid political jokes all night? Why not bring Rush back?

Jaws is the one guy who does a great job on the evening broadcasts...the rest, well, not so much. NBC doesn't have anyone who can do shit, so one replacement is as good as another, though listening to the Gumbel/Collinsworth combination on NFL Network is right up there with being dropped into the middle of "Survivor: Ebola Clinic"

I was too stunned by the Browns winning to notice any broadcasters.

I think for what Madden gets paid he can take a Lunesta, hop his ass on a chartered plane and go do his job.

I agree. Jaws breaks things down well and isn't annoying while doing it. As for Keith and Rush...no and no.
