Thailog80 Posted September 10, 2004 Posted September 10, 2004 For me it was ...............Quoting John Madden " A fumble is a fumble and you have to call a fumble when a fumble is a fumble. The instant replay gives you many excuses for a fumble but when its a fumble a fumble has to be called a fumble"....and a few more minutes on this stupid stevestojan. I wish I could replay the game and count how many times he said " Tom Brady" 500?
mead107 Posted September 10, 2004 Posted September 10, 2004 headed out to work at the half , radio much better . time for madden to retire, he is out dated
ACor58 Posted September 10, 2004 Posted September 10, 2004 Madden is terrible. They best booth would be him and Jimmy B.
taterhill Posted September 10, 2004 Posted September 10, 2004 Listen to Frank Caliendo and that nonsense becomes hilarious
Gary M Posted September 10, 2004 Posted September 10, 2004 Paraphrasing a bit. JM "BB and Weiss will try and do what you least expect them to do." I thought that was all coaches goal?
USMCBillsFan Posted September 10, 2004 Posted September 10, 2004 Madden does need to go but his voice actually brings back some good memories of Thanksgiving days with my whole family napping and watching football in a nice warm house with tons of snow outside. God I miss western NY.....

gantrules Posted September 10, 2004 Posted September 10, 2004 BB is getting thinner and thinner in the hair area. I think he'd be better off just shaving his head at this point.

I was at a sport's bar watching the game, so I had no control over the mute button, but I did turn around to some guy sitting next to me and asked him: "WTF did he just say?" Yeah John, it has taken away what football is really all about, which is apparently a bunch of incorrectable blown fumble calls!
BillsNYC Posted September 10, 2004 Posted September 10, 2004 Nothing was worse than ESPN this morning. All I wanted was highlights! They would show a play, but stop it every 2 seconds and analyze it with all these graphics. IT WAS A 9 YARD RUN!!
Ned Flanders Posted September 10, 2004 Posted September 10, 2004 Madden's routine is starting to look, and sound, like a Saturday Night Live skit...he has been terrible for about the last eight years or so...there's only so much "BAM!" and "BOOM!" you can listen to. I wish Madden would take the advice given to him by the refs in that vintage NFL Films bit regarding the "Holy Roller." Bill King, Raiders radio announcer: "They tell Madden, 'Get your big butt outta here...' He does!"
BILLS4LIFE Posted September 11, 2004 Posted September 11, 2004 How about when Madden and Michaels were blabbing on about how Bray is underrated?YAWN.
Rayzer32 Posted September 11, 2004 Posted September 11, 2004 I actually did not have to hit the mute. When Madden said how he now understands how people compare Brady to Montana, I puked. The puke ended up getting on the remote and it shorted out killing the power to the TV. Where in the hell is our puking smiley???
Tux of Borg Posted September 11, 2004 Posted September 11, 2004 ABC needs to make a reality show. Where America can call in and vote off the host of Monday Night Football.
udonkey Posted September 11, 2004 Posted September 11, 2004 I hit mute right about the time that Elton John took stage. While I know that most of you people are older and probably dig the guy, coming from a 22 year old, straight male, when I'm ready to watch football, ELTON JOHN IS THE ABSOLUTE LAST PERSON I WANT TO SEE OR HEAR. Glad to get that off my chest. Thank you.

Summerall, IMO, just sort of dragged things down. Michaels and Madden are solid. The best combo they have had on MNF in quite a while. Madden says sort of dumb things (a fumble is just a fumble when you fumble, etc.) but that is part of his schtick. He still knows the game very well, and I think he is a lot brighter than the character he plays on television.

But, he does say some of the stupidest, meaningless crap I have ever heard and I love it. He is funny to listen too. I used to love listening to Summerall because he was cocked half the time. Since he has quit drinking he has lost his touch.
Wacka Posted September 11, 2004 Posted September 11, 2004 If you love Madden (or even if you don't) watch frank Calliendo (sp?) from MadTV. He does the absolute best Madden impression. I believe he does it on some of the Fox pregame shows too.
