NFL - Are You Ready For Some Football?! - The Offseason

[Grandpa Troll]

Unlike Favre, he'll stick to his word.

Madden

Imran, will there be anymore mutant four legged turkeys produced anymore?

[SlowwHand]

It's kind of bad that his overall rememberance is a video game. The dude won 100 games in 10 years at Oakland, back in the day when seasons were much shorter.

[-Jrabbit]

What are you talking about? He's not dead.

Madden will always be remembered first as an icon of sports broadcasting.

[SlowwHand]

Not according to any poll I've seen.

[-Jrabbit]

They've already done polls on the source of future Madden memories??

[Imran Siddiqui]

If Slow knows how Madden will be remembered in the future, don't you think he knows what future polls will say? Duh!

[SlowwHand]

Yes, they have. Immediately.

What do you think of first when you hear the name John Madden?

Hall of Fame coach 17%

Legendary broadcaster 40%

Popular video game 43%

Very well, Tex. I stand corrected.

[Grandpa Troll]

I am one of many here who remember the Oakland Raiders and Madden

I too have so many fond memories of him as a broadcaster

Yes i do also think, but not exclusively of him parlaying his fame into a fortune behind the Madden series

But I was reading some follow up and for the life of me, I cannot fathom Chris "NO NECK" Collingsworth holding his jockstrap..let alone being in the same category.

To me, Collingsworth is to the NFL booth what Geraldo Rivera is to prime time news, a sensationalist

But he is who we have now

I do wish Madden the best in his family time, Lord knows he deserves it

Gramps

I remember Stabler coming to the sideline and Madden flapping his arms around. Stabler would just stand there with his head cocked to the side, looking at Madden's performance.

[SlowwHand]

Yeah, exactly.

The draft is next Saturday...

USC OLB Clay Matthews reportedly created a Facebook group during his junior season called "White Nation," which showed a photo of an African American baby in handcuffs.

Under the picture was a caption saying "arrest black babies before they become criminals." It also said "This group is not for the faint of heart. All members are athletes of Caucasion descent. We are just doing our duty of protecting the Arian brotherhood." Brian Cushing, K David Buehler, and former Redskins draft pick Dallas Sartz joined the group. The athletic dept. billed the group as a joke. Matthews later issued a formal apology.
