The Caliendo Effect

Caliendo does a spot on Madden. The first time I heard him on Mike & Mike I thought it was the real Madden, and from what he was saying at first I thought he must have been drunk.

not a big madden fan,but dont dislike him either,I liked madden summeral better,when they were calling your game you knew it was the best game of the day

Was anyone else irked when Michaels was harping on the non-timeout at the end of the first half? It seemed to me that with a first down inside the 10 that time was essentially no matter with 2 timeouts left. Letting the clock run down actually seemed smart to me. Any team in the league can run any sequence of plays with 21 seconds and two timeouts inside the 10.

Dude, big-time! I was like WTF, with 21 seconds and two timeouts you can run up the middle, pass short of the end zone, you can do whatever you want. Throw into the end zone if it's there, or throw it short if it isn't. Running down the clock to 21 seconds was actually smart there, it helped ensure the Giants didn't get a chance to get the ball back and get a quick FG before the half.

Completely agree. I think some people (on this and other sites) started falling for whatever Michaels was spewing and decided it must be time to start bashing Gibbs again for poor clock management.

I still believe the best broadcasting duo of all time is Pat Summerall and John Madden.

They were the gold standard back in the 80s. But I always kind of preferred Jack Buck and Hank Stram on the radio for MNF back in the day.

Frank TV is about the worst show on TV. I think he is a fat loser.

^ Look everyone, John Madden himself posted on our site!!!

I miss Brent Musberger with his pregame "You're looking live at RFK stadium".

The problem with Frank TV is that it's basically his stand-up routine set to minimally comedic skits. He himself is funny, and most of his impersonations are dead on. However, it just doesn't make for a good TV show. There is a reason the only player was TBS...As far as the fat loser comment, you're entitled to your opinion. For a fat loser, he's got a lot going on...

Brent Musburger, Irv Cross and Jimmy the Greek (until his "little" incident) were how I got from Noon to 1pm Sunday afternoons.
