Madden does tend to drone on and on.. he can get on your nerves, especially after a couple quarters of MNF..
Before the season started I was playing a lot of madden 2003 on PS2, if you thought he was repetitive on tv, try playing his video game, where he only has a handful of sayings..
Madden is one of the better sportscasters out there. Madden and Michaels in the booth on MNF makes me wish that Dennis Miller was still in there.. Im one of the dudes that actually enjoyed his humor.
