Was Madden retiring after Brett a coincidence? Maybe so. But maybe not.

Let's be real - NOBODY played the game like Brett, and I think with the recent trends in football, nobody will again. The gunslinger is a thing of the past. It's a shame. And Madden knew it.

Going to miss Madden too. How he'd go off for several minutes on the way sweat comes down an OT's face was classic. Plus, he actually knew everything that was going on in a play. I don't think any other announcer compared with that.

There was a reason he consistently coached winning teams. The guy knew football.

Football won't be the same.

That's just an amazing percentage.

Maybe he went to deep into disecting plays and got repetative. I have heared him say bootleg about 4 times while talking about one play for instance.

Like you said though, he knows what's going on. I very often feel like he doesn't get the credit he deserves.

Like I said in my previous post, great commentator and he will be missed on sundays.

There is one good thing in all of this though. Collinsworth will be replacing him. Next to Madden, he is my favorite announcer and one of the handfull or so that I know by name. Great move.

Cris Collinsworth is going to replace him... I literally yelled out "NOOO!" when I saw that. So our first Packer game this season will be tainted with Collinsworth's stupid random remarks.

Let's hope Al Michaels doesn't let Cris get away with all of the terrible false information he spurs out during games.

Rock - That's absolutely amazing. My personal opinion, the best Coach today is the evil Belichick.

Total 	138 	86 	0 	.616 		15 	4 	.789

(1st set of #s is regular season and the 2nd is Playoffs)

What's weird with Belichick is how good he is in the post season. Freaking amazing. Of course it helps now that he's got the best player in the NFL as his QB. His Cleveland record was a very pedestrian .450.

As good as Belichick is, Madden beats him.

I saw Madden in person twice. Once whiule eating in a mexican restaurant near his home in Alamo, CA. And the other was when I was about to tee off at Pebble Beach. He was in the group ahead of me. Got to shake his hand. Biggest hand I ever say. Everything on him was big. It even struck me how big his earlobes were.

But man, what a nice guy. Very humble and never really comfortable with the spot light. And as you guys have said, one of the true msters of the coaching arena.

Boom!

He is a young 73 years of age, and that is about right for owning a team in the NFL.

Love to see him take controlling interest in the Raidahhs.

I used to like him as a commentator but the last few years he seemed like he was off in his own little world. He had 2 great careers, wonder if its possible to be in canton twice?

Little side note wouldn't it be funny to have Brett do Sunday night football, I think it would be awesome to see him in GB opening weekend.

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

TheKanataThrilla (1m) : And we could only wish to have this type of D

TheKanataThrilla (2m) : It's not like Philly has had low draft picks, but has managed to get themselves a top notch pass rush. We spend so much draft capital of D

packerfanoutwest (3m) : another crap halftime show

TheKanataThrilla (4m) : I think it is over, but then I think of Atlanta and want Philly to go in with the same intensity in the second half

Mucky Tundra (12m) : And with a Pass Rush that might as well be on a milk cartoon and no Jaire

Martha Careful (13m) : I cant help but feel good about how well the Packers D played in Philly during the playoffs

Mucky Tundra (23m) : this game is over

Mucky Tundra (27m) : This might be the kill shot here

Mucky Tundra (37m) : oh that's such a bad penalty for KC after getting the 3rd down stop

TheKanataThrilla (44m) : Philly DL has come to play

TheKanataThrilla (45m) : Ceoper DeJean with the INT scored...bad memories of draft night

Mucky Tundra (50m) : ok scratch that

Mucky Tundra (55m) : Game feels like last years Super Bowl: 49ers started off in control, moved the ball well but didn't have much of a lead to show for it

TheKanataThrilla (56m) : KC jumped and they call it on Eagles. WTF refs

TheKanataThrilla (1h) : If he was offside why did you let him pop the QB?

TheKanataThrilla (1h) : I like that Eagles are controlling time of possession so far.

Mucky Tundra (1h) : If the Eagles are going to win, this is how they do it: jump all over the Chiefs and don't let it turn into a close one

TheKanataThrilla (1h) : Bad throw created that penalty.

TheKanataThrilla (1h) : Amazed Philly got that hit to the helmet call.

packerfanoutwest (1h) : refs just called an OPI,,,bullshit

dhazer (2h) : final score Chefs 24 Eagles 21 Refs 3

Mucky Tundra (4h) : feels like it hurts everyone but starters

Mucky Tundra (4h) : *cut down on snaps that

Mucky Tundra (4h) : beast, no not at all. Just seems counterproductive to cut down on snaps to help back ups get playing time and get potential money after cuts

Zero2Cool (5h) : So, Jets tell Rodgers they're moving on? QB2 for Packers haha

Zero2Cool (5h) : Hey, I'm not saying it's the great idea. I'm saying, it's what I think will happen.

beast (6h) : You think they give a crap enough about bubble guys to make rules for them?

Mucky Tundra (6h) : So games that will be even *more* sloppy the first two or three weeks of the season?

Zero2Cool (10h) : I think you can figure most starters won't be playing either of the two games at all.

Mucky Tundra (22h) : is 2 preseason games enough for bubble guys to make a mark?

packerfanoutwest (8-Feb) : true.forgot about that

Zero2Cool (8-Feb) : Unless they reduce preseason from three to two games.

packerfanoutwest (8-Feb) : If Goodell allows an 18 game season, there will be a SB on Valentines Day

Zero2Cool (8-Feb) : Perfect football player. - Ron Wolf on Sharpe

Zero2Cool (8-Feb) : Sharpe didn't celebrate TD's ... crazy I didn't realize it back then

Martha Careful (7-Feb) : Congratulations Sterling Sharpe

Mucky Tundra (7-Feb) : beast, you didn't miss much with that one. Raiders didn't update their play calls, audibles etc so the Bucs D steamrolled

buckeyepackfan (6-Feb) : That was quick, one thing Jordan said was he doesn't agree with Josh Jacobs, that the Packers need to go get a proven #1 wr

buckeyepackfan (6-Feb) : J-10VE on ESPN NOW!

beast (6-Feb) : I was young and didn't get enough sleep... fell asleep during the Buccaneers/Raiders Super Bowl

Zero2Cool (5-Feb) : Patriots / Panthers feeling is what I got. didn't watch that one either

Zero2Cool (5-Feb) : Easier to get a camera on her in the suite where she can't impact the game by being distraction???

TheKanataThrilla (5-Feb) : This is the least excited I have been in a long time for a Super Bowl. Unfortunately they both can't lose.

wpr (5-Feb) : So why don;'t they have her on the sidelines and doing the halftime fandango instead of sitting on her but in a $1,000,000 suite?

Zero2Cool (5-Feb) : Think more eyes on Super Bowl with Swift fans pulling for her TE boyfriend?

Zero2Cool (5-Feb) : She dating the TE of the Chiefs.

Zero2Cool (5-Feb) : Taylor Swift has millions of fans, yeah?

Zero2Cool (5-Feb) : They did. They are going to show the post production Sunday with plethora of ads.

wpr (5-Feb) : I thought KC already won
