NUTTY STUFF THAT JOHN MADDEN SAYS '07 + NBC is really worthless except for "the office," someone stop bob costas

"tiki barber might be the mvp of the giants - of this year's giants."

Hello, 30 Rock!!!

"if you're not wearing a helmet, you could get hurt"

ps 30 rock sucks, and you're probably watching the vmas like a homo instead of tony romo.

Fuck some vmas.

that's more like it.

OKWTF! Madden is pressing Tiki about un-retiring! I can't believe I'm hearing that.

LOLOLOLOLOLOL

Madden to Tiki: Is there any way you could come back? Because they need you now. They're going to call, you know that call is coming. Is there any way you would consider coming back?

welcome to the rest of your life, douche tiki

costas was going off on him on the pre-game, guyz.

costas was doing that on thursday too! hey look we all watch the same tv shows how did that happen

oic, it's only nutty when madden does it then.

well nobody gives a shit what bob costas says ever, he's the most boring man alive. Also he wasn't just desperately pleading on the behalf of the stricken NYFG like Madden was.

Bob Costas is a baseball guy f him 2x

listen to you, barry bonds!

Will F-Costas 2X for the Wii be available in time for the holidays?

whatever! bob costas is the embodiment of all that is right and good in american sports, kidney donations notwithstanding.

yeah if you like douchebags

I think the thing is pro football is not really Costas's forte. (I love him; I can't help it. I do kind of like douchebags though, cf. NFLN in its entirety.)

I like Costas too, but I think he really has no identity outside of Olympic Games coverage.

Office sux, 30 Rock pwnz.

i think of costas' identity as being the dude who exhorts us all to DRINK DEEP THE AURA OF THE GAME (with beisbol i mean)

yeah, I'm a total sucker for that stuff.

that stuff just makes me think of dr. morbius

otm. I am the female morbius.

except I like pop culture. and football.

female morbius

oxymoron amirite

er i mean redundant :/

lol no homo

no no no, morbius never talks about stuff he LIKES. horseshoez is the antimorbz imo.

WORST ANYWHERE IN ALL HISTORY EVER

I also thought Morbs was against romanticized whosits?

leeeee is right, y'all been not characterizin' the morbs very well. pls to talk about your favorite statistic instead of, like, whether or not you actually enjoy something.

ALSO TRADE LO DUCA

i think you guys missed my point

i guess so.

anyway i will amend this thread to say that all of nbc's new fall shows look dumb... except for "bionic woman."

Al Michaels did tell me that's the new show everybody's talking about. So far everybody in this case appears to be defined as AL-ZOR MICHAELS and JOR-EL HUNT.

i have my "finger" on the "pulse."

I caught some weird promo on Fox where Bob Costas and someone dressed up like John Madden were fighting. "Madden" then went, "Look, Costas! A thesaurus!" and ran away.

Still not sure if I actually saw that or not.

yeah i saw that too, they showed it as a "highlight" during the bears/chargers game. so terrible.

weirdly enough, the one thing i'd save from fox's football coverage would be troy aikman. he's a pretty decent analyst! nuke the rest.

madden inadvertently drew a dick on the screen during the colts game.

No, that was the giants/cowboys game, about 11:15 EST I think. I know because that's when I sent the text message "ALSO HE JUST DREW TWO BALLS AND A COCK ON MY TEEVEE"

hai i missed last nite's game did madden say anything nutty?

o hpencilpaws

he probably did, but at his own home, and not on the television

i don't understand either response.

madden is on sunday now, not monday.

YES I KNOW THAT. my post only sez it was posted at greenwich time because a bunch of britishes run this site, dummy. also as noted in another thread, I WATCHED MNF AT A BAR (FIRST HALF) SO SAYING I MISSED LAST NITE'S GAME REFERS TO SUNDAY.

Hey NYC, What Bar Should I Watch Monday Night Football At?

SO ANYWAY YES DID MADDEN SAY ANYTHING NUTTY ON SUNDAY NIGHT? ANYONE? BUELLER?

apparently not, or it would have been posted here

he did say something about, if I got Tom Brady alone, I wouldn't need any cameras, but that isn't nutty so much as completely unsurprising.

if I got Tom Brady alone, I wouldn't need any cameras

this sounds so gross

he didn't say exactly that. he said, "if I had Tom Brady, I wouldn't need any cameras," meaning if he had Tom Brady on his team, like Belichick does. I grossed it up a little, but it did sound a little suspect, and he said it in THAT TONE

sportscasters get when they're talking Brady.

my friend niki just got a lol hueg hd tv and fuck madden looks so terrifying on that thing - wont someone think of the children

madden will think of the children. think of EATING the children!

you people failed me.

hstencil we just want to see if a clown will pop out.

yah i was kinda too busy OMGYAYING @ patz domination buff wings motz sticks and onion rings to notice madden too much

i first read that as OMGGAYING

yeah pretty much

sounds like a good time! :D

yah twas

Madden looks like a giant snowman in HD. More so than usual.

i'd rather have that guy who impersonates madden in the booth rather than the real madden at this point. time to take the keys away from the ol' coach.

i wish we could still give yellow cards because hstencil would have a big ol' madden face at the end of his screen right NOW.

I still don't know what tough actin' Tunactin does even though I've heard the commercial a million times.

i think it stops your foot from becoming a troll, at least that is what the animation tells me

"sometimes doesn't it seem like tony romo is just out playing in the park?"

just started watching, our power was out for a while.

"rex grossman is probably at the point where he's booing himself."

so. awesome.

those dudes were really being diplomatic w/r/t rex. did anyone else think romo was on the sidelines all like "wtf, did you see that?" after every grossman miscue?

romo is like the guy who you would go out with for drinks and he'd pull three hot blondes and then steer one of them your way, while rex is the dude who would come over to you while you were talking to said blonde, stare at you until you acknowledged him, and then start talking to you real fast and then the blonde would go back to romo and tony would shrug and later he'd tell you, "man I don't get that guy, he just screws it up all the time" and then he'd buy you a beer.

yeah but romo steering blonde dudes my way isn't such a winning proposition.

romo != teh gay

I think what you mean to say is "no homo, that romo"

"oh romo? that homo!"

LOL Madden talking about Hedgecock's CANKLES!

YUS

"Who's that? Oh, that's HEDGECOCK."
"HEDGECOCK!"
"Here comes Hedgecock."

i only got to see the 4th quarter. the rest was on the radio in the truck and man, whomever the dude is along with marv albert, man, he's... something. something bad.

booooomer esiason! he's actually a pretty good analyst. i wish marv did the tv broadcasts.

"kinda wonder where those boots have been before... if you're getting a mouthful of kraut."

watching madden trying to decipher the too many men on the field thing tonight was pretty priceless.

booooomer esiason! he's actually a pretty good analyst. i wish marv did the tv broadcasts.

OTM on both counts.

Also WTF Green Bay?

something about starbucks

"Ewwww..... eww..... that call was after a timeout. Yikes."

Michaels: Ugh
Michaels: Yikes
Madden: Yikes is right. They had time to think about it too. That call was after a timeout.
Michaels: Eeew

lol - I had trouble figuring out how to spell those noises Michaels was making!

John: Winning always smells better than losing.
Al: Doesn't it? As you like to say, the greatest deodorant.

this Boise State - Nevada game on ESPN is way better than the SNF game

if you like smurf turf and west coast ball, maybe.

that said, i'm watching it now.

the ot format in college ball drives me nuts tho.

no cable or else i'd continue on with my weekend of football gluttony.

I like the college ot format. Runs up the scores!

well you're from florida of course you love nutty things like that.

triple overtime now.

you can't kick extra points after the 3rd ot, you gotta go for two.

yah both of these defenses are horrendous, but at least it's entertaining.

xpost - srsly? that is teh lollingest dum-but-smart rule ever.

Oh damn, I just changed over. 61 to 61?!!!!

Okay, 61 to 67 now. What's the record for the highest scoring college game, anyone know?

college futbol on this thred and madden on week 6 thred - this world is topsy-turvy!

that said i always love marching band renditions of "iron man"

I first learned that song from having to play it on trombone.
that song sucks so hard if that is how you have to learn it - thankfully, much later in life, I discovered you can sing along to it with the following lyrical substitutions:

I AM
TOM COUGHLIN
GONNA LOSE MY JOB BY SEASON'S END

etc.
much more amusing
especially the parts about "NOBODY WANTS HIM" of "CAN HE SEE OR IS HE BLIND" it is a lovely coincidence of triameter and metaphor

but yeah anyway the trombone parts for "iron man" are just as awful and boring as you can imagine

for a jazz schmo like me, that kind of vamp is nauseating

you're a regular roswell rudd. ;)

"What Bob Sanders has, what he has is short explosion."

"His power will always beat your power."

Seriously the whole Bob Sanders rant, totally awesome.

did you read bill simmons on friday? a reader asked if madden was doing a game where brett favre completed a pass to hines ward would madden actually orgasm on air. and if so would he break it down? "boom! right there!"

gross.

dudes, they just used the Happy Mondays for the outro music. YR TWISTIN MY MELON, MAN

way to boldly step into the '90s NFL.

what was al's whole paris in the spring thing?

"they're almost pantsin' willis mcgahee out here. he almost doesn't have anything on below the waist."

what?

ahahaha "I'm not a crabcake guy. I'm not exactly sure what goes into 'em."

so this thread happened.

yeah i wish coughlin lost his job in october 2007
