All to often I hear announcers in many sports who are not really talking about the game they are announcing or the players who are playing.  I want my announcers to help me understand and appreciate the game I am watching--to call my attention to details or things I might otherwise have missed.  Madden was a master of that.

Great article.  Thanks for sharing. Love Matt Millen’s  line.

I remember watching a Niners game with my dad. Madden was announcing it, and at the time, the Niners had frisbee and ball catching dogs during halftime I think. The crew cut to a golden retriever, with a ball getting it's belly rubbed, happy as can be. After a few comments, Madden jealously observed ". . . . what a great life that must be". My dad replied, "I think he really means that." According to Millen, my dad was right.
