That's crazy. I thought he would die doing this.

Me, too. Sometimes literally.

Is this mercy-killing or cross-pollenation?

Kindof makes you wonder if Harry Kalas passing in the booth while doing his game prep made him decide he was too old for the grind.

He found out Brett Favre really wasn't coming back this time.....

Thanks God!

Madden's inane mumbling about how a touchdown was worth 6 points really irritated me. I'd watch his games on mute sometimes. (No Lie!)

That's unfortunate for you. He was great to listen to. Easily my favorite.
