Aikman actually isnt that bad, and he knows what he is talking about. Maybe Madden is a great personality, but that is not what I want during a game. I want to hear in-depth analysis not personality. Another reason why I also hate TK on MNF.

Aikman is a Cowboy. If we are in a playoff game in January, I don't want to hear the game from a Cowboy. Aikman is the best color guy in my opinion but I would still take Madden over him.

Well in my opinion I would rather have a Cowboy, who actually gives a quality game, rather than Madden who seems to be concerned about food and Farve. Aikman does a very good job of being unbias during Redskins games. If I wanna hear opinionated coverage of the Skins I'll just listen to the radio coverage of the game.

Most of the time the announcers are wrong with thteir analysis of the game anyways so who gives a flying.
Madden is usually right and his stupid coments make me laugh

Aikman is in my top 3 color commentators/analyst and the funny thing is he's new to the TV game. He is very knowledgeable and object. I love it when he announces our games and I personally don't care if he was a Cowboy.

Agreed 100%. He is completley unbiased and I think he's the best voice on the TV Today.

There's another Cowboy who does pretty decent color commentary, and that's Moose Johnston. He and Aikman must have gone to the same broadcasting school...
I don't care for Madden much, but I wouldn't vote him off the planet. Now Brian Baldinger, that's a horse of a different color (shit colored).

I'm okay with Madden. I've gotten to the point where I can tune him out if he starts to ramble. He still offers a lot of knowledge though. I've learned more from him all these years than any other announcer when it comes to football, not the facts of life though. He totally confused me on THAT!

There should be a clear distinction between Madden now, and Madden years ago. Because at this point I think he needs to retire...hes entertaining, but down right annoying as well.
Two things ive heard him say this year, first, after the Portis injury he says.. "Theres two things that could have happened to his shoulder, a seperation, which is when the shoulder seperates, or a dislocation, thats when teh should get dislocated"....he pretty much should costar on a medical tv drama
and I hate when he says lines like, "The coach had two choices on that play, he could call a run, or he could call a pass"....

I am pro-Madden. He at least gets most of the important stuff right, and his goofy rambling is better than the shrill nonesense we get from most NFL color commentators these days.
Aikman and Buck are probably the best, these days--people forget that the real play-by-play pros like Michaels and Buck set up their color guys well.
But, if it isn't Aikman and Buck, and Moose (if you like him) and maybe Simms, who would you like over Madden and Michaels? So Madden isn't the best anymore--he's still better than most.
