He didn't really say that about Favre. At least not in public, you know he said it to himself.

Thanks for the memories John. Love him or hate him, he was one of NFL broadcasters biggest names.

Im curious how much money hes made just off the Madden video game franchise over the years?

I will never forget the Broncos and Dolphins were playing on MNF and Brian Greise was out because he sprained his foot by tripping over his dog down the stairs or something like that.

Madden went on for about a quarter and 1/2 talking about how Golden Retrievers are the greatest dogs on earth and how no other dog likes to have more fun than a Golden Retriever.

Pat Summerall carried that fat moron for years. Good riddence.

Now you see, if it's not a complete pass or an interception - it's an incompletion.

No way he could get out of covering the Pro Bowl this year with it being in Miami. He'd rather retire.

I wonder if the Kalas having the big enchilada in the booth had anything to do with the timeing of this. "Well, Josh McDaniels seems absolutely lost as a head coach. What do you think?" "John, John?"

Sweet. He made half his money off his damn video game.

Not sure about the video game revenue, but I went to a convention where he was paid $90,000 for a 1 hour speech. He just endorsed the money over to his charity. He really is a good guy.

Since he was a Raider, I gave the autographed football to one of our employees.

woo hoo

dj56dt58 · 04-16-2009, 10:55 AM

he can take his shitty video game with him

shitgoose · 04-16-2009, 10:59 AM

Everyone knows he was a robot anyway. Thats why he only traveled on a bus and had those really awkward, mechanical like movings with his hands.

See, the fact is that John Madden is really good guy. When I say that, I mean two separate things. Brett Favre. Professionally, he is a really good guy, and personally, he is a really good guy. Now, professionally, he is really good at what he does. Personally, he is a very humble and kind person. Brett Favre. Now, it is sad to see him retire, because he will not be working anymore. Brett Favre. That is the thing about retiring, because you no longer work when you retire. Turducken. However, he could always unretire. Brett Favre. If he unretired, then he could start working again. Because, if you unretire then you are no longer retired. Brett Favre. Turducken. Speaking of which, he is famous for the Turducken. You see, it is a duck stuffed in a turkey or a turkey stuffed in a duck, depending on your preferences. You see that is the thing because different people have different preferences. Brett Favre. Now, you see that John Madden is a swell guy and will be missed because he is retiring. Brett Favre. If someone retires then they are not working anymore. Brett Favre. Now, if he unretired then...
