Can we vote Madden off the Planet?

I really like the Madden/Michaels team.

Overall NBC's coverage is much better than ESPN when it comes to providing a high quality football broadcast.

It's funny, ESPN used to provide the best game coverage, now they've gone Hollywood and provide more entertainment than quality football coverage.

I'm tired of the booth interviews with celebs, the stupid emails that Tony takes, etc. Not the quality coverage that we've come to expect from the "Worldwide Leader".

I agree--ESPN is a circus--sometimes they seem to forget there is a game on.

90% of the stuff he says is half stupid

Well played, sir. :biggthump

I love Madden. Although, I can totally understand why people don't. What's funny is that it's usually the same reason. The quote that Saden posted is a good example of why I like him, and also why people don't. He reminds me of Howard Stern in that regard.

On another note, I would have to say that nobody provides the level of insight that Madden does.

Madden is no better or worse than the others. Aikman is a absolute moron who doesn't even understand the rules of the game - and proves it each week. The worst in the NFL though, is without question, the MNF crew and NFL Net crews. They are absolutely God-Awful.

So it sounds like you hate everyone, are there any announcers you like?

Agreed about NFL Network, but as much as I hate to say it, I thought the booth was better when Deion and Faulk were in it last week. What happened to Vermeil? Did his voice kick the bucket that night??

Man, I sure do miss that Madden-Summerall combo!

I vote to KEEP him...he's great for laughs and entertainment during bad games.

Besides, I don't want to risk losing the EA Sports game that comes out every year. :)

There is an article in the current issue of Sports Illustrated talking about how ESPN's MNF coverage has gone the entertainment route as compared with NBC.

Yeah I read something similar in PFW a while back too

I love ole Madden. I miss him calling games with Pat Summerall though, those were the days. His rambling comments are classic, just wish that some of those idiot analyst on FOX would stop trying to emulate him all the time.
they were good because summerall was drunk half of the time
