Because first you get a fat guy spike, then you get the fat guy dance.
John Madden is retiring from broadcasting, ending a 30-year run calling NFL games.
Madden has worked in NBC's Sunday Night Football booth since 2006.
NBC Sports Chairman Dick Ebersol announced the decision on Thursday morning.
The Hall of Fame coach issued the following statement:
It's time. I'm 73 years old. My 50th wedding anniversary is this fall. I have two great sons and their families and my five grandchildren are at an age now when they know when I'm home and, more importantly, when I'm not...
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. I appreciate all of the people who are and were such an important part of the most enjoyable, most fun anyone could have... that great life with the teams, the players, the coaches, the owners, the League... my broadcasting partners Pat and Al... the production people and the fans...is still great... it's still fun and that's what it makes it hard and that's why it took me a few months to make a decision.
I still love every part of it -- the travel, the practices, the game film, the games, seeing old friends and meeting new people... but I know this is the right time.
Madden has won an unprecedented 16 Emmy Awards for his work in the booth and is widely loved by football fans. Madden's final game -- and 11th Super Bowl -- was Super Bowl XLIII.
In 2006, Madden was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame as a coach for his remarkable run with the Oakland Raiders.
He also is the face of "Madden NFL Football" — the No. 1 selling sports video game ever, selling more than 65 million copies in 20 years.
la notizia è di poco fa, e credo meriti un topic a sè stante... che dire? a me personalmente mancherà sentirlo in coppia con Al Michaels...
