After decades of NFL broadcasting, 73 year old commentator, John Madden suddenly retired April 16. To most fans and fellow commentators, he is called “the absolute best sports broadcaster who ever lived." Madden remarked that his health was not a factor for retiring, but that it was his five grandchildren now realizing that he is gone that made him want to. Former NFL player Cris Collinsworth will now replace Madden on NBC’s Sunday Night Football and ABC’s Monday Night Football.
This article is important because John Madden is a national football icon and he will be greatly missed by fans and fellow broadcasters for his energetic voice during football games. A follow up of this article could be Collinsworth not being able to fill in Madden’s spot.
