John Madden Says He's Done

John Madden called it quits over the weekend retiring from broadcasting football games. All I have to say is... Finally! Thank God!

As a football freak and a long time lover of those who can communicate their knowledge and experience to others, I have to say I don't care who fills his shoes, bring back Dennis Miller or throw in Jillian Barbarie, hell put Elisabeth Hasselbeck in there. The only person I don't want in there is Bush. My reason isn't political by any means. Simply put, the only person I can equate Madden to is Bush. I have never seen anyone butcher a subject they should know everything about like the two of them.

There should be a book out there with Maddenisms. -Now ya see, he's runnin' this way real fast so they don't catch him, but they want to catch him cause he has the ball, and really it's about who's the fastest or can get in the way of the fastest guy, cause it's a game of inches and yards and people who are fast or can stop fastness. I made that up, but you get the point. And who does it sound like... Shame on me... Shame on... Can't get fooled again.

Whose idea was it to let them speak in front of large groups?

And the sickness of the media slobbering all over him [Madden] like he's done something great. He's won one Super Bowl and didn't know how to do anything else in life but talk about football... and not very well at that.

Yes, his video game is the one of the most popular out there, but come on let's be honest, did he invent the game or just sign a contract for the use of his image and likeness? Oh how hard that must be. What an immaculate human being.

I wish someone in the sports entertainment stream of the media would speak out and question the idea of his greatness. Or better yet, quit talking about him altogether.
