Juddley Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 I wonder who will do the telecasts with Madden. I doubt Al Michaels will be leaving ABC for NBC...Maybe they will use Bob Costas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WSU151 Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 I wonder who will do the telecasts with Madden. I doubt Al Michaels will be leaving ABC for NBC...Maybe they will use Bob Costas. Perhaps Eli Gold?? Gold does Arena League and Alabama football, so if Costas can't do it, maybe Eli? It's definitely a stretch, but who knows... Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Β Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll throw in Tom Hammond. I think he's an OK announcer. I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ez Street Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 My bet is Costas. Madden & Costas, great choice. @DavidStreeter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juddley Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 I would not have thought of Gold to be there for the play-by-play, but I like that idea a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

epper Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 even though the ol' man can be blatently obvious sometimes, ("You see, if he just would have caught that ball, it would have been a touchdown."), he's still one of the best in the biz.MILES ahead of those fools Theismann and McGuire on ESPN Sunday Night Football, where every play is "the greatest play ive EVER SEEN."

Part of the reason I love Michaels, Madden, as well as Theisman, McGuire, and the other Sunday Night guy is because they sound like they're having a good time.Too often sports commentators take themselves too seriously, and act as if they're reporting as armageddon breaks out. This is sports your commenting on... have fun with it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sterling84 Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 I don't know why, but I really enjoy Madden as well. It's like watching games with your grandpa.And if my choices are 1) Madden or 2) people doing their best Madden imitation I'll take the real deal.I also very much enjoy the Sunday Night crew even though I hear almost nothing but negative things from people (not just here).I like that McGuire sounds grumpy and hung over. I like that Theisman is kind of a jag and acts like he's cool......only he is the only one in the room who doesn't know he's not cool. And the other guy.....better than Summerall for darn sure. Summerall sounded asleep those weeks he filled in. Totally disrupted the booth chemistry.I still hold to my idea that one of the four (Yes I still count the NHL though I shouldn't) sports needs to move coverage to HBO to revive itself. They need a salty, honest approach to sports coverage. You need a knowledgeable announcer, not a gimmick. But someone funny enough and with it enough to get vulgar and say what every fan in their living rooms is thinking....and on cable. So let the colorful language fly. The NFL won't do this first cause they don't need to. But I sure would love it. The Official Cheese-Filled Snack of NASCAR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe I heard that he was talking with both networks, but said he wouldn't even begin negotiating unless the deal involved a private plane.
