Football and John Madden

I love NFL Football season!! It is my favorite spectator sport, and every February, Alex and I wonder what we will do with ourselves in its 7 month absence. With that first kick-off of the year, we are already eagerly anticipating the games announced by John Madden.

John Madden is hilarious. Why? Well, if you have watched him as an avid football fan often or just tuned in for a while as a part-time fan, you will notice that he for the most part simply points out the obvious. Example:

He actually said about the quarterback, "Here's a guy when he puts his contact lens in he can see better." Or about the quarterback looking at his arm with the written plays, "You gotta have good eye-sight to read the small print." And about the game of football in general he says, "The goal of football is to score more points than your opponent."

Madden does know the game of football, obviously, but his announcing is too funny. Frank Caliendo also seems to think so. He does a fabulous Madden impression

This video is worth watching- it's an actual interview between David Letterman and Frank Caliendo acting as John Madden.
