Erich Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbluepride35 Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.... Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 There are umpires on the field. Not all of them are called referees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

episode Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Quarter is a slang term for the correct name. They are called periods. The umpire part is already cleared up by the link above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snipe Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 John Madden is a football God. He owns you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chmsant Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 John Madden is a football God. He owns you. Yes but he needs to get away from the NFL and live his life in peace. That man had spit gathering in the corners of his mouth as he spoke... My thoughts on the superbowl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J Z Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwjw1 Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L3thal Veteran Posted February 7, 2006 Veteran Share Posted February 7, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Lyle Global Moderator Posted February 8, 2006 Global Moderator Share Posted February 8, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
