SportsCenter just reported that John Madden has announced his retirement.
“It’s time. I’m 73 years old; my 50th wedding anniversary is this Fall. The NFL has been my life for more than 40 years. It’s been my passion, and it still is. It’s been such a great ride.” – Madden as transcribed from listening to Josh Elliott on SC
The AP press release says it all…
NBC’s story has a few more words.

Well, when you retire, you tend to stop working and getting paid.

madden wont stop getting paid because madden will continue to sell and put $7 M in his pocket every year…so he will hit the bookstands with a memoir and probably the speaking circuit…not to mention the buffet line

Are we at all surprised that Favre & Madden walk away in the same offseason? Can’t you just picture them riding together on a tractor somewhere down in Mississippi?

Jonny Flynn wasn’t coming back in any event unless he got hurt or had a disastrous season.
