You know, for all our complaints about the commentary in Madden, I can't think of a single NFL football game (EVER) that had commentary I liked for more than a few hours. Summerall's "Johnny Five" robotic voice always annoyed me after a while and I'm pretty sure Al Michaels died during one of the Madden recording sessions back in the day. Maybe that's why I'm so impressed with Collinsworth for 09. I don't even like him in real life, but from what we've heard he sounds amazing in the game.
