BOOM! John Madden Retires.

After fifty years as a 21st draft pick by the Philadelphia Eagles, coach, broadcaster, and video game maven, John Madden has officialy retired. The 73-year old has decided to hang up his microphone after calling Super Bowl XLIII with Al Michaels back in February, which the Pittsburgh Steelers won over the Arizona Cardinals. Madden we understand will continue to work on the NFL video game for EA Sports. Cris Collinsworth, Keith's non twin brother, will take over Madden's role starting in August.

"Flexing" One's Muscles

It's official: The Sunday Night Football telecast for December 7th is changing from Patriots-Seahawks (considering how sucktacular the Seahawks are with Elizabeth Hasselbeck's brother-in-law at QB this year) to Redskins-Ravens, this according to Awful Announcing. Also, it's rumored that the December 21st game between the Chargers and the Buccaneers will be swapped out for the Panthers-Giants game, one that could be deciding home field in the NFC. The Chargers' playoff hopes have gone down faster than Comedian Rush Limbaugh on a torte binge at an Edelmann's bakery, and Sunday night's (11/23) loss on a Adam Viniteri walkoff field goal to the Colts won't help them get the December 21st prime time date.
