John Madden retires

At 73, John Madden is retiring from broadcasting. Madden says his health isn't an issue, but he would like to spend more time with his family.

Former Bengals WR and NBC studio analyst Chris Collingsworth will replace Madden in the booth.

The last game Madden called was Super Bowl XLIII.
“The last game I did was the Super Bowl, which was pretty good,” Madden said. “But, again, that wasn’t planned. I didn’t say, ’I want to go out on a high note.”’
Madden, who led the Oakland Raiders to their first Super Bowl victory in 1979, was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2006.
