Maybe it is just me but does anyone else find it interesting that at 73 John Madden is retiring after watching another 73 year old announcer, Harry Kalas, pass away in the booth?
I think Madden watched that and decided that he didn't want to finish that way. It makes sense. They were born about a month apart and Madden isn't the healthiest person in the world. He is probably terrified of the same thing happening to him.
So instead of waiting he decided that he wasn't going to let that happen to him and he got out.
I am one of Madden's biggest haters. I thought he has been one of the worst analysts the past few years.
But I will miss hearing him call games too. His voice is so recognizable that it will be weird to not have him calling games ever again.
Good for you John Madden. Enjoy your retirement and enjoy the family!
