John Madden retires
It's the end of an era.

He's the guy who made listening to the group in the booth fun for me again after Cosell, and I'll always appreciate him for that. |
Re: John Madden Retires
Love him or hate him, he's an icon.

Re: John Madden Retires
"Goosebumps"! Best wishes to him :) it sounds as though he's ready and wants some well-earned relaxation and family time.

Re: John Madden Retires
Feel like he always made games seem bigger just by his voice being present.

Re: John Madden Retires
He had definitely lost something off of his fastball, but he was still occasionally hilarious, intentionally or otherwise. What will become of EAs flagship Football Game franchise once he goes, I often wondered. The name "Madden" will always be an icon. God speed Big Fella, you've solidified your name in the bedrock of the sport!

Re: John Madden Retires
Finally, he was one of the best, but he's been running on empty the last few seasons and it was painful to listen to him after all the great years. Enjoy your time with family John, you've earned it.

Re: John Madden Retires
I admire him for knowing when to retire. He had begun to slow down over the last few years. And even though he traveled in relative luxury on that tour bus (he had a fear of flying), all that time on the road must've gotten tiring.

Good for him that he gets to go out on his terms. |
