John Madden is retiring from commentating games. I mean, yea, he's faded into obscurity and is the punch line to a lot of jokes, but just the thought that I won't hear his voice doing games anymore, it's kind of like I'm losing something. John Madden's voice has always said "You're watching football" to me and I'm sad that I won't have that feeling anymore. He's done a lot of good for the game and I really hope that he sticks around in some function, but I kind of doubt that. He's in his 70's so I hope he enjoys the every bit of the rest of his life somewhere in really warm weather. I guess it's true when they say that all good things come to an end, and this is definitely one of those good things. I don't know who will be the future great commentator, but for now, I'll just look back at John Madden's career and be happy that he graced us with his football knowledge.
Also, I think it's fitting that he's retiring the same year as Brett Favre. That gives me a little chuckle.
