Long-time broadcaster John Madden has decided to call it quits after 30 years in the booth. Most of those years with his long-time partner Pat Summerall.
Madden was with CBS until 1994 when they lost the right to broadcast games. He then went to FOX until 2002. Then he left FOX to become the lead analyst for ABC's Monday Night Football with Al Michaels until 2006 when ESPN took over Monday Night Football. His latest job was with NBC on their "Sunday Night Football" with Al Michaels also.
Replacing Madden will be Cris Collinsworth. This is a shame. With the retirement of John Madden and the insertion of Collinsworthless, there has been a dark cloud placed over the game for a while.
I will miss John Madden on the mic. His insight was a little different but he was a familiar voice for me.
