I might be in the minority, but I liked the kinda goofy and enthusiastic personalities in sports like Madden, Dick Vitale, and Lee Corso, but Madden was better than either of the other 2 and really in a category of his own. He and Pat Sumerall have never really been replaced in my mind. RIP.

The Turkey Leg! RIP.

He and Summeral will be broadcasting from above.

I never liked Corso, and Vitale's over-the-top nature could get on my nerves (though not all the time), but I thoroughly loved Madden. I can't explain the difference, but I even liked Madden's beer commercials, and I hate beer! LOL....

Is there anyone else in the past 50 years who did more to grow the game of football and expand the audience than John Madden? Phenom as a coach, legendary broadcaster, and significant contributor to the Madden EA Sports franchise that made the game as popular as it is. The NFL is what it is today thanks tremendously to John Madden.
