P.S Broadcaster John Madden has retired from the booth on Sunday Night Football. Man we are going to miss him big time. Why? Because he was great with Al Michaels but because Chris Collingsworth is taking his place.

I think that is a terrible move. Why was this move made so quick by NBA Sports?

My choice is Sterling Sharpe of the NFL Network. Sharpe is witty, intelligent and knows football and has TV experience.

Is this the “ole boy network” again? Friends helping friends to get poistions? Collingsworth has been given bg time chances and Sterling Sharpe has not. I think it is very unfair to pick Chris without at least a little more time to try out others like Sharpe.

To me, Chris Collingsworth has zero personality. Zero!!! I just don’t think the Michaels/Collingsworth team is going to work. This is my opinion. Heck what about neon Dion Sanders? He would have been great also.

But the choice of Collingsworth was quickly made. Don’t understand it all.

Filling Maddens shoes is going to be tough. I think Sterling Sharpe is a MUCH better choice than bland, no personality Chris Collingsworth. Gordon Curvey
