Jon Madden has announced hes retiring from broadcasting. IMO he WAS a great broadcaster, I know a lot of people like him, but to me his (Big Ole turducket) shtick got old a long time ago. And his love affair with THE BRETT was nauseating.

OH NO! NOt greeny, now we'll have jets talk all season long if he takes on the job.

Anybody think Collingsworth could do it?
