There are so many games on TV now that there aren't enough good broadcasters to go around. Throwing an ex athlete in as a color man has become the norm even though they aren't really pros. Between college and the NFL there are nearly 60 games each week shown on the major channels. Add the sports networks like BIG10, ACC and SEC and the number is even larger.
Brady is just starting out and has a lot to learn. At least he's not a screaming idiot like Joe Tessatore. He sounds like he's filling his shorts every time a player makes any half way decent play. He's the same way on boxing where he acts like a jab was a thunderous left hook.

That is pretty cool, did you talk football with Madden at the market? Even when the 9ers weren't doing well, it was kind of ok because at least there was Madden. He just made games better, win or lose.

I feel for the younger guys that never got the Madden experience. There is no one else like him...
If you like the NBA crew with Shaq, Kenny and Charles....that is kinda what Madden could deliver....
When we loose the NBA crew ...well......that is going to suck too
