dondoboy Posted April 16, 2009 Author Share Posted April 16, 2009 I was always a fan. My dad idolized Madden as a coach. The worst part of this is that we'll have to hear more games announced by former players who are awful broadcasters. I'm talking to you Marino. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PigSooie Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 fuck Matt Jones. I'm thinking yes on Boldin. They're trying. The sideshow would be ok as long as he did pay visits to Fayetteville. Bouldin would be major. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cryptique Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 All that being said, I think Chris Collinsworth will be a good replacement.Oh dear god, is he Madden's replacement? I haven't read the article. I can't stand Collinsworth. I'm not sure I can even say why ... the guy has just always bugged me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not sure I can even say why ... the guy has just always bugged me.I like Cris Collinsworth as much as I hate Bryant Gumbel. Seriously, I think Collinsworth is one of the smartest analysts on TV. I think NBC's studio team last year was lights-out best. It was NBC Game of the Week 70s baseball good. Jim McKay in anything good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's a good replacement and an obvious one. As much as I'll miss Madden, having Collinsworth in the booth will be nice. I subscribed to Showtime this past year just to hear him on Inside the NFL.

I subscribed to Showtime this past year just to hear him on Inside the NFL.In some ways, I think it will raise the comments a notch. Madden the last few years would be a subject to death, and his asides weren't as fun as his earlier years. I anticipate Michales and Collinsworth having a ball together.

cryptique Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 I really hope the Browns end up with Mark Sanchez, if only because it opens the possibility of a photo of Sanchez on a cold day, mud on his uniform and steam rising from the top of his head, with the caption Dirty Sanchez, the Cleveland Steamer.

Lodestar Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Count me in the "likes-Collinsworth" camp... He's one of the very few colour guys out there who I actually feel teaches me something about the game when I watch it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dondoboy Posted April 20, 2009 Author Share Posted April 20, 2009 Well, that'll do it. That's all we needed. Edit: The "Go Fast" swooshes on the letters are a plus. Except the one on the the lower right portion of the "s", which makes no sense at all and pretty much ruins the whole thing. If you can ruin something totally stupid to begin with. Edit: Or is that hair? Oh God. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
