Boom, Bam, Bang, Well Miss you Mr. Madden

John Madden's retirement ends one of the most enjoyable eras in football broadcasting. The telestrator was never abused so well than by big John. So who is now going to be the leading candidate to fill his shoes? Who is going to be the NFL's leading color commentator? Will it be our own Chris Collinsworth? This is a debate I present to all bloggers. If you all feel so inclined to weigh in on who has taken Keith Jackson's spot atop the NCAA, feel free to weigh in as well.

Who are my picks? In the NFL I really like listening to Troy Aikman and his old buddy Daryl "Moose" Johnson. Some of the sideline reporting could go away. Just update us on injuries and game related information. All the human interest stuff can wait for halftime. I don't see anyone on the college level beating out Kurk Herbstreet or the NCAA ESPN Game Day cast.

Collinsworth is good people- and good at his job.
Troy Aikman is like the vanilla ice cream of analysts- the lowfat or soy variety even.
Gus Johnson gets way too excited about nothing.
Phil Simms is horrible and his mother’s cobbler turkey day schtick is weak-assed Madden aping.
Much as I like Joe Buck, if I never have to watch another game on Fox, with that inane transformer looking robot thing jumping around in the lower left corner of the screen, it’ll be too soon.
It was a guilty pleasure but I actually enjoyed Dennis Miller’s stint on MNF. I mean, come on, comparing someone’s draft history with the murky bloodlines of the Plantagenets? That’s priceless. ;-)
