Did anyone catch John Madden's gem of a quote last night?

[cadmonkey]

.....regarding Edgerin James' blocking?

He blew a block that allowed a blitzing saftey to sack Manning. Madden then says "I have noticed two things with Edgerin James when he blocks. When he gets a good block it is a really good block, but when its a bad block it is a really bad block."

Listening to him is really getting me mad. I mean I used to be able to tolerate his "See this lineman right here, well he pulls and gets his man so he did his job.........." quotes for a while, but then it got to the point of "you know, whoever gets the ball in the endzone more tonight is gonna win this game". But it is getting really bad.

that quote isn't so bad. It's like "when it rains it pours" cliche. Some of his other ones make scratch my head.

On the brite side I do not remember him mentioning Brett Favre one single time.

I don't know if it's true, but it makes sense to me. To me, he's saying James is a hit or miss guy -- he either wipes out a defender or he whiffs completely. There's no "getting a hand on him to throw him a bit offstride."

I'd take Madden over Randy Cross any day

No, "A good block is a good block, a bad block is a bad block" is like "when is rains it rains and when it snows it snows"

"When is rains it pours" is like saying "when he blocks he sucks" it explains how it is raining. When he says the same thing he sounds stupid.

I don't know I get what he means. I would take madden over the ass dueche's we had on sunday. "Well i guess you do well when you put in mike cloud when it starts raining"

He didn't say that he is either good or bad. He just said when he makes a good block it's good, and when he makes a bad block its bad. He never mentioned the so-so blocks he makes.

I'd actually take Cross over Madden any day.

When John Madden makes a stupid quote, its a really stupid quote.

[Rain Man]

I'm very, very embarrassed to say this, but the last couple of times Madden has announced, he hasn't been bad. (Note that I didn't see last night's game.)

I think I need to go wash my hands now. I feel dirty typing that.

After to listening to Mitch weekly on Des Moines radio and listening to him talk about Pappajohn's pizza, Earlham HS football, and the fact that Drake basketball coach Tom Davis is the drummer in his garage band, it's hard for me to take him seriously...
