On Wednesday, NBC announced it had signed Madden to a six-year deal to be the network's lead analyst for their NFL coverage.
Ebersol said that NBC is waiting until after the NBA Finals are over to talk with Al Michaels about possibly teaming with Madden again.
Interesting to say the least. I wondered what Madden would do after this season, now we know. By far not the best announcer out there, but definitely one of the more interesting.

Well, I at least hope Al Michaels move to ESPN. NBC's AFL coverage is bad enough, their NFL coverage is probably complete garbage anyway. Over/Under Madden actually living past the expiration of this new contract? I say under...

MNF is moving to ESPN. SNF is moving to NBC. ABC will have no more football. CBS and FOX will continue their Sunday daytime NFL coverage.

"See that defender right there. BOOM! He just tackled the ball carrier. Now if he didn't do that, he could have kept on running."

Classic Madden type announcing. Totally states the obvious in a loud and obnoxious way while at the same time pissing off people who know football and confusing and scaring everyone else. All's that is needed is a turducken leg and a reference to his Raiders team back in the dark ages and you have Madden in a nutshell.

The only way they're going to win this game Pat, is if they score more points than the other team.
