John Madden retires
NBC broadcaster John Madden retires
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090416/...madden_retires NEW YORK – John Madden, the burly former coach who has been one of pro football's most popular broadcast analysts for three decades, is calling it quits. Madden worked for the past three seasons on NBC's Sunday night NFL game. His last telecast was the Super Bowl between Arizona and Pittsburgh. "It's time," Madden said. "I'm 73 years old. My 50th wedding anniversary is this fall. I have two great sons and their families and their five grandchildren are at an age now when they know when I'm home and, more importantly, when I'm not." Madden said he still loves all aspects of the game and his job, and that's why it took him a couple of months to make the decision. |
