When I first heard the news on ESPN yesterday, my heart sank.  The voice of NFL, the guy who IS football, John Madden has retired.  After 30 years in the booth, he’s stepping away.

“You know at some point you have to do this — I got to that point,” Madden said on his Bay Area radio show Thursday. “The thing that made it hard is not because I’m second-guessing, ‘Is it the right decision?’ But I enjoyed it so damn much.

“I enjoyed the game and the players and the coaches and the film and the travel and everything.”

WOW.  I am still in a little shock.  I guess that I will just have to enjoy hearing John’s voice on all his Madden video games…..
