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.

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)

beast (5h) : Oh yes, sometimes they make using a cellphone tough. I just wanted to make sure it was the correct article, & thank you for pointing it out.

jdlax (7h) : I can't believe one of my teams went out and wablammo just up and acquired one of the best players in the world overnight

dfosterf (11h) : I do very much appreciate when Beast and others pick up my slack 😊

dfosterf (11h) : I accept Beast's admonishment regarding my failure to link stuff I reference. I simply never learned to link from my cell phone.

beast (12h) : That's not what your she said 😌, she said keep going 😏

Mucky Tundra (15h) : Anything over 4 hours means he needs to get to the hospital

Mucky Tundra (15h) : Someone might want to check on Hafley and make sure his erection has gone down

Zero2Cool (17h) : LaFleur texts "bleep me I cannot sit down"

Zero2Cool (17h) : YouTube has had me last hour or two lol

Mucky Tundra (17h) : Ugh this trade happened right as my shift started and it's killing me

Zero2Cool (17h) : Parsons wore 23 in high school.

Zero2Cool (17h) : Packers just cost Lions more money with Hutchinson too huh

Zero2Cool (19h) : That is fair by me.

buckeyepackfan (19h) : Kenny Clark is the player, 2 1st rnd picks

Zero2Cool (19h) : umm... what?

wpr (19h) : I am stunned

Mucky Tundra (19h) : RICKEY SCOOPS WAS RIGHT AGAIN!!!

Mucky Tundra (19h) : ITS HAPPENING

buckeyepackfan (19h) : DEAL IS DONE

buckeyepackfan (19h) : MICAH IS COMING TO GREEN BAY!!!!!!!!!

wpr (28-Aug) : Me do-ed it gooderly,

Zero2Cool (28-Aug) : Bahah, I was like WTF why isn't anyone posting on PP.com ... oops no one has permissions

dfosterf (27-Aug) : tell her I reckon

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Micah Robinson cut. Probable PS player tomorrow. Has to call mom back and t

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : New site so much better. Might make switch and deal with it.

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Mecole Hardman to our practice squad

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Nick Nieman from Texans our 5th linebacker. Special teams signing

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Looks like we signed Clayton Tune as QB3

wpr (27-Aug) : TKT people lose their minds over QB3. Point is almost none of them are ready that's why they are on the PS and other teams don't take them.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Unfortunately he doesn't seem ready to be an emergency QB.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : As a Canadian and a follower of Canadian University football. I am rooting for him

dfosterf (27-Aug) : I bet a lot of us will follow the Taylor Elgersma journey with interest. Personally, got a Kurt Warner vibe goin' on. I like him

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Not sure if either will be claimed though.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Tune or Hooker would make sense

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Clayton Tune cut by the Cards? Don't know if that's the guy, we shall see

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Per Bill Huber, the Packers will not be bringing back Taylor Elgersma or Sean Clifford on the practice squad, so a new third quarterback

Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Schefter must have deleted his tweet

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Hopefully Jerry reaches under the seat cushions and ashtrays of his jet and scrapes up the 45 million apr and spares us further nonsense

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Have to admit the PO'd Cowboy fan videos would be fun to watch. Problem with draft picks is half their fanbase barely knows what that is

beast (27-Aug) : I think Cowboys fans are ready to get their pitch forks and burning sticks if Jerry were to trade Micah

dfosterf (27-Aug) : If Jerry traded Micah to GB, here in northern Va. they would have to quick build yet another data center to handle the internet hate traffic

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : its signing and trades that you don't hear about, other then announced

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : If you hear rumors about Packers sign or trade, won't happen. Not how they work

dfosterf (27-Aug) : 19 players in a contract year. Jones called loss to us worst loss in Cowboy history. Forget Parsons trade. Not happenin' Cap'n

packerfanoutwest (27-Aug) : The Packers, meanwhile, are the youngest team in the league for the third consecutive year.

dfosterf (27-Aug) : That it was darkest before the dawn in Bengals and Commanders before they got deals done

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : what is Schefter saying?

dfosterf (27-Aug) : He was getting Dorito infusion therapy

dfosterf (27-Aug) : He's outta shape. Why, just the other day I saw him splayed out on the trainers table
