What an annoying love fest they had this game. I couldn't believe how
they kept talking about him over and over, as if he were one of the
best in the game at his position or something. Showing his picture
and stuff, over and over again. Did you hear Madden single him out at
least 3 or 4 times, showing extended replays of him? Sickening, I
tell you, just sickening!

The next time they call a Seahawks game, they better think twice
before slathering Walter Jones with such singular attention! ;)

(I think I heard the word "Favre" just once, and it was in reference
to being the other retirement drama aside from Parcells'.)

LOL! I thought you were talking about Romo.

Madden is still, in my opinion, the best analyst in the game. He just
knows his stuff.

There's opinion, and then there's bias (or opinion with bias).
Contrast with the game Collinsworth called earlier today at
Indianapolis. He is clearly biased about many things. Madden's
opinions are solid and well-backed, and he does a good job of
dissecting plays in pure layman's terms.

And, he *loves* Walter Jones. ;)

I've met a number of people who can't stand Madden, but I don't understand
'em. I love the guy...even though he usually calls at least one player per
game the "best [name the position] in football." Madden is one of the
guys, and loves football through and through.

Agreed on Terry Bradshaw. I've seen interviews with him when he's dropped
the schtick and it's amazing how intelligent and articulate he is. I
wasn't expecting that.

Madden, on the other hand, seems to be who he is. People who have known
Madden over the years have said that he's pretty much the same guy in
person as he is on the air. He loves football and he loves the little
things about football and it legimately gets him excited -- no matter what
the game is. That's his passion, that's what he does, and sometimes he get
carried away. I don't think it's a schtick. But also part of that whole
package is an intelligent, insightful commentator who has superb play
recognition and sees things that most commentators don't see.
