John Madden is not nearly drunk enough to make this game interesting

[MrCoffee]

Sea v. Den with 0:54 left in the first half. Madden should be completely ripped by now. Did his doctor tell him to cut back? Did he get religion?

Dammit, John, put down the mike and pick up the bourbon! This game is weak!

1. ....

:rofl:

you make me laugh, y'know...often :)

3. that's the nicest thing anyone's said to me all day.

:hi:

2. The secret to football, and I know this from years of experience, is

scoring points. You can run the ball, kick a fieldgoal, or get a safety, but at the end of the day, the team with the more points wins.

Al: That's very insightful John

4. that's haunting in its accuracy...

spooky, i tells ya.

5. This is what football is all about

the hard hitting, the cold weather...get a little mud on the helmet. LOL :rofl:

Madden said this one day, he has never said it since. I am sure someone told him...

[MrCoffee]

6. i'm convinced that Madden just doesn't know why that's hilarious

he was going on and on about how low the center got, and how far up under there the QB had to get to take the snap, and there was telestrator action...

with no irony at all on Johnny-boy's part. he's just talking football, yo.

7. I'm of the opinion that just about every booth analyst sucks

I think networks should just put two smart-ass play-by-play people in the booth that just exchange witty banter that couldn't possibly be more inane or less entertaining than what normally passes for sports analysis.

8. but Madden is sublime...

he just spouts the most utterly useless, random gibberish. it's hysterical.

insightful commentary, no. a damn good laugh, guaranteed.
