Does anybody listen to John Madden? Because he just called a ref an umpire and a quarter a period. Sorry the game isn't BaseHockey.

One of the refs is called an umpire (I think the guy who stands behind the defensive line before the snap). As for the period thing, I've heard other people call them periods though I myself prefer quarters.

Madden is a meat head. Some of the players that played for him on the raiders said they would have won superbowls had he not been the coach. Usually you hear players say good things about the coach. He talks like a baffoon during the games, there are so many times things he says are incorrect. I'm not saying im better than him when it comes to football just that my pet fish could do a better job announcing the game. Oh and how about his red eyebrows and white hair, my opinion he needs matching colors.

Madden is a dork...they should just stuff a sock in the 'neverending' running mouth...he ruins every game he commentates and thinks everyone is so stupid to football that he has to use his 'cyberpen' to draw diagrams....and you know the real reason he don't fly...its because he would be thrown out of the plane..and riding a train or bus... hitting the ground is much closer.....I give fluff boy his own 'turkey' award.

But in saying that, you are saying your fish are better than you. :laugh:

Madden is great. :p

Madden is a goof ball, in my opinion. Some of his comments are as ridiculous as Lee Corso's comments, difference being that Corso doesn't broadcast games.

John Madden is a good host. But.. too bad his contract is up, and ABC lost the rights to football for next year, and ESPN picked it up. But ABC and ESPN are the same arn't they? so maybe John Maddens contract might be transfered.
