I don't hate him as much as I hate Charles Davis.

Much better than Madden, but that is a low bar.

He just acts so in awe of a player any time they make a big play, and goes on and on about them until the next guy makes a big play. I'd rather have that though, than most of the announcers like Dion that act so jealous of any current player, which seems to be the norm.

Like most "color" guys, he sucks way too much player pecker. He would be fine if he would stick to actual game analysis - i.e. dissecting plays as they happen - but he goes on long rants of "how great" a player's cock tastes in his mouth... ...then I subsequently taste my own stomach acid... :puke:

You thought Madden was good? I couldn't stand the guys announcing. Great coach though.

Madden was one of the best.

I also hate Joe Buck, but surprisingly like both Romo and Aikman.

Pastor Madden and Deacon Summerall were a huge part of my Sunday morning services....
I also have nostalgic memories of them doing games, but nostalgia doesn't equal good.

Nothing to do with nostalgia.

They were the first great team.

I also loved the fact Madden hated flying. My kind of guy.

Meh.

Don't like that he's a motor mouth, even though I understand the whole point of a color commentator is that they break down the plays and try to provide additional insights. Mainly, I just resent anybody explaining to me something that I just watched with my own eyes.

It's not often that I think he provided anything that's particularly enlightening.

I don't think Collinsworth is bad...I just think he talks too slow and uses too many words to get his point across.

Sometimes it feels like when he's done explaining one play...3 more have already happened.

I don't like the guy!! One week it's like... "he's the best there is at RB." ...the next week is like... "he's the greatest RB that walk the planet." the next following week is like... "there's never been a greater RB."

I really don't know how he talks anymore, I hit the Mute button until the ball is about to be snapped and it's all Al Michaels at that point.

I like him too. His 30 for 30 (or some special I saw on him) was great. Cool guy.
