John Madden retired
YES
Hopefully a press release from Frank Caliendo is right behind his.

Re: John Madden retired
How he was able to win a Super Bowl, and never have a losing season as coach is one of the world's great mysteries.

Re: John Madden retired
Was he pretty awful for the last few years? Yes.
Was Caliendo's parody of him eerily accurate? Yes.
Was he a Hall of Fame coach? Yes.
Was he a great broadcaster? Yes.
I'm not saying he hasn't been rant-worthy for the last few years, but maybe his retirement thread would be better-suited for focusing on the latter points, instead of the former.

He's been bad. I'm glad he's retiring. I don't think that is disrespectful. I'm sure he's a great guy and all, but I don't like listening to him talk.
Furthermore, I don't know John, the only effect he's had on my life is that I've played his video game and listened to his color commentary. It's not like he's a fireman or in the military. He's a color commentator for the NFL. He hasn't done anything overtly noble. Maybe there are things behind the scenes, but that wouldn't change my feelings towards his competency as a commentator.

Re: John Madden retired
I agree. The contents of this thread will ultimately determine not only John Madden's legacy, but his chances of being knighted by the Queen of England.BenNX74205 wrote:Respect?thrill wrote:Why?BenNX74205 wrote:I'm not saying he hasn't been rant-worthy for the last few years, but maybe his retirement thread would be better-suited for focusing on the latter points, instead of the former.

Re: John Madden retired
You're right. He's been awful at his job for 50 years. I don't know why he was ever hired in the first place. The only way this news could have been better is if he were fired.thrill wrote:Huh?BenNX74205 wrote:Respect?thrill wrote:Why?BenNX74205 wrote:I'm not saying he hasn't been rant-worthy for the last few years, but maybe his retirement thread would be better-suited for focusing on the latter points, instead of the former.
