He's Back...

John Madden is a lightning rod for some. For me he's just a dude living for the belly laugh. He's been having fun finding his groove with Al Michaels tonight.

Colt Brennan and Mike Hart have been impressive in their NFL debuts. Hart's helmet popped off on a nice run over left tackle and he said that Hart looks like Tony Dorsett, "facially". Then he promptly took the comparison and began digging a hole by saying: "They're brothers". Michaels tried digging him out but it only made it worse when he said, "Well, he could be his dad." I mean just stop it guys. Don't say this guy looks like that guy and don't start making outrageous comparisons in a guy's first NFL Preseason game.

They got back on track later with humor on Colt Brennan who made great throws. Madden remarked that he made not one but two perfect throws, and laughing on the touchdown said, "Boy, he's a flinger... look at him move around... he's a wild flinger!"

And the drumbeat for shorter quarterback continues as Brennan proves a little footwark can open up lanes. Brennan just earned himself a minimum of 3 more years in the league.
