I don't think that I have ever laughed so hard at one thread in all my time here on OS.

Honestly, I don't mind who the commentators are, because unless they add dynamic commentary, the commentary is going to get old after about Week 10.

I wonder if Collinsworth will be constantly ball washing the Patriots in this game like he does in real life. Last year on Inside the NFL you could actually see drops of Tom Brady's man juice drying on the corners of his mouth during each telecast. I'll bet he draws up extra lines for the Patriots.

Other than that, anything would be better with the radio guy, although I usually just turn off the commentary anyway and crank up the crowd and the PA. I like a stadium feel more than a telecast feel.

Interesting take on Collinsworth. I respect your view, but disagree. I thought Collinsworth was overly aggressive and (at times) unfair in his analysis and treatment of the Patriots throughout the spygate fiasco. I don't want to get into a cheat/ non-cheat discussion, because that's hopefully in the past now, but I like to see the different viewpoints and takes on commentators and how they are perceived across the nation.
I like Collinsworth's football analysis, but just don't care for some of his views. I'll have to be more objective in my viewing of him and his Patriots bias this year.
Regardless, I'm amped for the commentary additions and can't wait to hear how they implement them. Collinsworth should bring a good amount of experience and talent to the game. I'm not too familiar with the other guy, as I'm not a college football fan.
Thanks!

I haven't played Madden for a couple of years. I don't understand why John Madden isn't the color announcer anymore. His name is on the freakin' game! Does he not want to do it anymore? Is he even involved with the game anymore? I remember when the 15 anniversary game came out they showed him involved with the development.

Does Madden have the ESPN license? If so, why not use some of their guys like they do for NCAA?
