Enough Madden
Not the video game, of course, you can always get more of that; but this is in regards to John Madden himself.
Brian Baldinger, on Fox Sports, writes Madden ‘stifled’ by Michaels.
Brian reminded me of just how lucky we are to have Al Michaels there. His piece was almost a thank you note in my eyes to ABC. Madden seems like a great guy, no doubt. I also don’t doubt he knows his football better than almost anyone. But that doesn’t mean I like to hear him ramble on and on like Madden can do. If you don’t contain him you wind up feeling like you do after playing a few games of EA’s Madden-titled video game - very, very irritated. The words repitition and forced come to mind, and it’s two things we just don’t need more of on MNF.
Comments:
I love Al Michaels. As for Madden, I’ve found him more tolerable recently because I think he’s mellowed with age. Today’s Madden is much easier to take than the Madden of 20 years ago. Still, I can only listen to the man talk so much before my eyes roll back into my head.
Of course, if there was a contest for who was the most annoying sportscaster of all time - Stewart Scott of ESPN gets my vote hands down. How that guy still has a job I’ll never know.
