Madden is "Ole School" which is not bad by no means.
I think he tells it pretty much like he see's it, ya know No sugar coating like many of the newer broacaster do and try to do.
I noticed one thing he keeps saying about these Lions....They AINT got it together...One has to wonder if they will get it together before Farve invades the dome?

Wrigley is exactly right. We all love him. We all respect him and his coaching and broadcasting past. He is tired. His schtick is tired. I am tired of him...and I used to LOVE his schtick. Anyone listen to Chris Berman and get tired of that? Me too. I like/love those guys but man....you guys is a' killin' me! TIME for Madden to retire. Al Michaels on the other hand is my top top top favorite fellow to listen to. Also, I like the Sunday night football guys of last year; gone now but I loved that team. Enjoyed them and the 'arguments' they would have..... tulsa
any proof Madden "lost it" some time ago shoul dbe put to bed when the Rams/Pats met in the SB and when NE got the ball late in a tie game
Madden said he would run out the clock and play for OT - despite the fact the Rams had ALL of the momentum and if that game goes to OT the rams EASILY win it. luckily brady/belichick/charlie weis aren't senile like Madden and didn't play for OT
Madden is hopeless and has gotten so bad he is "unlistenable"
as i said earlier - match him up with "Mr. EOE" (Stuart Scott) so NO ONE will listen to them for NO ONE would ever understand a word they said!

Agreed, Madden and Berman are both way played out and need to move on.. they both made an impact on sports broadcasting but their time has come and gone, especially Madden. Please, no more using the telestrator on some offensive linemans ass sweat..."See here, thats when you know the big men are working in the trenches.." :hitting:
Madden is hit and miss for me. For every astute comment he makes, he follows it up with a babbling dialogue seemingly designed to ensure that there is no silence on the airwaves during one of his games. He gets paid to give his opinions, which, unfortunately, he gives, even when he has nothing to say.
I still like broadcasters like Vin Scully, who know when to shut up. If you ever see the re-broadcast of Gibson's 1988 World Series homer, notice how effective it was when Scully shut up for a few minutes and let the situation speak for itself as Gibby rounded the bases. I can't picture Madden doing that.
