You may have heard that a certain legendary coach, broadcaster and pioneering video game developer retired last week. He was also a spokesman for the Turducken Manufacturers of America, which spends its days devising new ways to stuff delicious animals with other delicious animals. Their current project, still in the early stages of R&D is a pig-wrapped cow, otherwise known as a Pow. It will surely be awesome.
But above all that, John Madden is now for making the Telestrator the most awesome* tool in a color commentator’s arsenal. Before that, they relied only on the spoken word. How very 18th century of them. Madden could stroke the pen around the screen like no one else, pointing out the intricacies of a chop block, a post corner route, and drawing penises. It’s not even that big of a deal, something like 8% of color commentators do it.
Some evidence of the dirty deeds:

Finally, this real big, veiny triumphant bastard:
Don’t let this ruin your opinion of the mighty Madden. After all, he is the one man who managed to control Mike Tyson while interviewing him, and didn’t get eaten.
He will be missed on Sundays, that’s for sure.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
If there is anything you don’t lack, Wanks, it is the ready availability of penii.
I heard Collingsworth loves the cock, so hopefully he’ll keep up the peni drawing tradition.
I finally watched that Madden/Tyson interview… Anybody else think when Tyson cocks his head at the 4:50 mark that he’s about show Madden his right cross?
“something like 8% of color commentators do it”
I think they prefer ‘commentators of color’. Man Madden has good skin, let the man pass.
The best part of the clips is the first one, where the kid turns the camera to himself and starts freaking out. Freaking oot, as Goldfish would say.
