John Madden, The Joe Morgan Of Football
Anyone who has ever watched Monday Night Football or Frank Caliendo's stand-up can tell you just how bad John Madden was at narrating football games. I hate football and know very little about football, and yet even I have the capacity to comprehend this fact.
And yet, quote Roger Goodell:
"He had an incredible talent for explaining the game"
Biggest overstatement ever.

Sha Na Na Na, Hey Hey Hey, GOODBYE
Today is a great today in the world of football! On ESPN, I see on the scroll that:
JOHN MADDEN HAS RETIRED FROM BROADCASTING!!!
FINALLY, while John Madden may have been a great coach (although not THAT great considering he had a shit ton of great Raiders teams and only won ONE Superbowl, but I'll give him his props he was really really good...) and has been immortalized on the best and favorite football video game ever. But his announcing was just god awful. In fact, in our mission statement we say "John Madden is the enemy". He's so bad a strong suggestion for this site was firejohnmadden.com. John Madden was only a good announcer if you were an alien and had absolutely no idea what the game of football was(Although then you'd be confused on who the hell Brett Favre is...). But even guys like MVP Eckstein, who have no knowledge really on football, get upset at Madden's obvious commentary. If the Announcing Trifecta From Hell is like nails on a chalkboard then John Maddon is like a damn drill going directly in your eye. Even Maddon's commentary in his game are annoying as shit. I'm so happy I don't have to hear him anymore!
P.S. Tony Kornheiser on PTI just said that John Madden is the most beloved announcer in sports. And there's a bridge in Brooklyn I'd like to sell you. And Kornheiser just said how smart Madden was! What!? Jesus Christ- this PTI debate is just as dumb as John Madden explaining what a first down is.

Random Thoughts
1) Did anyone see the play in the Superbowl where Defensive Player of the Year James Harrison was punching some Cardinal player after a tackle. I mean these weren't whimpy punches but these were fucking hard punches while this Cardinal player was on the ground. Now Wes Welker gets fined $15,000 for making a snow angel after one of his touchdowns and James Harrison is going to get off scott free? What The Hell!? And BTW, the refs didn't even call a penalty on the play if I'm not mistaken.
2) Speaking off touchdown celebrations, after Santonio Holmes' great touchdown catch to essentially end the game, he did a touchdown celebration mimicking LeBron James' warm up celebration pretending the football was talcum powder. This is a flat out violation of the rules. It clearly says you can not use the football as a prop during touchdown celebrations and is a 15 yard penalty for the Cardinals. Now I'm not sure this would have affected the outcome, but at the time you never know. It was not out of the realm of possibility that the Cardinals still could have scored a TD and that 15 yard penalty is a call you have to make with that little time left on the clock.
3) Can we all take a minute in silence to realize how awesome Tennessee Lady Vols basketball coach Pat Summit is? I realize that, yes, it is lady sports, but she's going to get her 1000th win this season. No other coach in the history of college basketball has ever even come close to this mark. Plus she has 8 national championships, EIGHT!? She is just fucking awesome.
4) ESPN, right after the Super Bowl, had a list of top ten plays in Super Bowl history. 10 was Larry Fitzgerald's first TD catch (or maybe second, but who really cares), 3 was James Harrison's 100 pick six, and 1 was Santonio Holmes' TD. Really guys!? OK, I can see the last two being on the list but putting Holmes catch above David Tyree's on helmet catch last year. Don't be fags.
5) This was a question asked on SportsCenter today. "Did Kobe score 61 at Madison Square Garden knowing that LeBron was going to be there two days later?" Don't be fucking retarded SportsCenter, Kobe scored 61 points because he's just a fucking awesome basketball player, he was having an on night, and the Knicks suck. What arena he was at and who playing at that arena soon had nothing to do with his decision numb nuts.
6) I hate John Madden.
7) I like Illinois' basketball team this year.
8) Michael Phelps is 23 fucking years old. God forbid he enjoys his youth and drinks and smokes a little pot. Although it is kind of sketchy that he's in some random frat house in South Carolina...
9) You guys need to lay low a little bit for posting.
10) I did not realize this but in 16 seasons, Manny Rameriz has an OPS of over 1.000. He's like 8th all time in OPS. Fuck Manny is/was fucking awesome. Also, Todd Helton has a career OPS over 1.000 but he plays in Colorado so that doesn't count.
11) I'm in a class where they also use blogger (this site). This site is used for us to talk about current events and every person will have to write and present one speech based on current events. If I had joined this class blog, then Sexy Rexy would have just recently posted about the Roland Burris appointment.

Charles Tillman. Chicago Bear. Cornerback. Man Whore.
On Sunday November 30, during the Minnesota Vikings vs. Chicago Bears game, our favorite John Madden said this:
"Charles Tillman is the best stripper in the NFL"
Personally, I don't really want to know THAT much about what both John Madden and Charles Tillman are doing in their free time. All I know is, ladies, get your singles ready.
