Madden has got to be, by far, the stupidest announcer in all of sports.

"If you catch the ball in the end zone it's a touch down!"

I can't stand that fat stupid fuck.

He's the king of the obvious.

I remember during a game he was talking about a player - I don't remember who - but they were talking about said players educational background. The player had a degree in chemical engineering (I think) and fat fuck Madden (FFM for short) actually said... "Chemical engineering, what in the world would you do with that?"

I hope he chokes on a turkey drumstick.
