#1 It won't be Monday, er, Sunday night without him this fall.

#2 Man, this is such a bummer... Madden's been a class act for a long time. Meanwhile, that blathering idiot Kornheiser will still be polluting the airwaves Monday nights. Ugh! Life is so not fair.

I'll never forget the time Madden was announcing some game years ago and they cut to a shot of a rainbow on the horizon following some showers. Madden of course takes his light pen and circles the rainbow--for us viewers that didn't know what one looked like, I guess!

Fortunately he finally settled down into a groove with that light pen. The first few years though he was like a 5YO with a brand-new Etch-a-Sketch!

#4 Madden's so bad, he's great. Here in SD, we have the Padre's announcer, Jerry Coleman, who's reached the same status of "We know he sucks technically, but you know what? we love him"

A classic Colemanism: "in center field, a leaping diving catch!"
