Madden Retires!
NEW YORK (CNN) -- Legendary football coach and broadcaster John Madden is retiring, he announced Thursday.
"It's been such a great ride ... the NFL has been my life for more than 40 years, it has been my passion -- it still is," he said in a statement released by NBC Sports.
Madden, 73, was a Hall of Fame coach for the Oakland Raiders, but is best known to millions as an ebullient football commentator.
He won 16 Emmy awards for outstanding sports analyst/personality, NBC said.
Thank god! I had to turn the volume off when watching his games.

He was the most annoying SOB I ever heard.
It was like watching the old Batman TV series.
Fuck I disliked him so much.
I hope they keep Al Michaels though.

The most annoying broadcaster ever is Tim McCarver and it's not even close.

I thought he brought a lot of knowledge to the booth, and he was quite a character.

You kids can knock him all you want, but there was no one better than Madden and Summerall in their heyday. They were the best.

Maybe he'll go on to be a Golf Commentator, that shit needs a little excitement.....I mean a lot of excitement....
Coarse edged youth, the irish pendants string from their smiles
not yet plucked as to slacken the seams
and drag down the features of age,
no folds or creases from unkempt wear
eyes of tranquilty, crystalline-beads
no sign of despair in their hair, nor their hearts
but oh they have yet to be experienced and that makes aging so very worth it...ML circa2012
