I think so too. Heck, even I joke about him. But now that he's gone from broadcasting, the NFL already feels a bit empty.

You better believe it. During the mid-80s, there was no team better than Madden & Summerall on CBS.

Co-Sign...

He's like the resident "drunk uncle" of the NFL...you find yourself rolling your eyes of the things he often says and does, but heck he's FAMILY...

I've never known an NFL w/o the guy...

I'll certainly miss him...

Thanks for the memories, John.

It was awesome listening to him(and Pat) do those great NFC wars, when the 'Skins, 49ers, Bears & Giants were on top. One of his best games was the Giants-Redskins NFC championship.

Agreed.

It's gonna be strange not seeing the Madden Cruiser on the road this year on Sundays.
