I am ok with Madden. I actually preferred him with Pat Summerall (sp?), but he's ok on Sunday nights.

He was the first to admit how wrong he was with his "They should be taking a knee and playing in overtime" comment, which he didn't have to. He could have just pretended he never said it.

Hasn't the phrase "jumped the shark" nuked the fridge?

I like him.

I remember back in the dark ages when I was actually very PROUD when Madden and Summerall would call a Pats game. At some stretches they got such little national attention...

I love John Madden. Sure he says some obvious things, and sure he repeats himself a lot, but it's always interspersed with some very insightful remarks about line play, or playcalling. There are very few things a Madden/Michaels combo will miss during a game.

Also, Madden's unbridled enthusiasm adds to my enjoyment.

A bad announcer(s) might make me watch the game on mute. But no announcer will make me watch a game. But Madden/Michaels are clearly a sound-on game. They're a very good pairing.

If anyone has a problem with Madden calling games, just watch Bryant Gumball kill ratings on the NFL network games.............after that train-wreck you will be humping the TV with happiness when you hear Madden!
