He is, but I thought Charlie Jones was better.
Favorite play by play ever.

Props. And he was better than good, he was hof great. The plays he made, the 40 yard rockets across his body with a man hanging off him, haven't been seen since. Love him or hate him, you have to respect the play.

I loved Charlie Jones voice. Great broadcaster. Also I liked Dick Enberg as well.

Merlin Olsen, who partnered with Enberg as the color commentator, is the bestever in that role to me.

Surely you jest. Played in 3 super bowl losses including a 55-10 point blowout to the 49ers. That is not all on Elway, he didn't play on defense. But an ability to move the chains would have taken the ball out of the 49ers hands.

He flat stunk. 10 for 26 for 108 yards and 0 TDs.

He was a great QB and earned his slot in the hall of fame from the complete body of his work, but I'm not convinced he is the creme of the division.

Edit: Upon further review, welp, yes Elway is the all-time best QB from the NFC west, much as it chokes me to say it. I hate Elway and always will. Big baby.

Am I alone in liking Madden?

The AFC was an incredibly weak conference in those days, and the Broncos were really not a very good team.

Elway, more than any other single player, carried his team to those SBs.

No.

I am pretty sure I am alone in hating him from the first time he entered the booth.

Fair. I actually meet Madden on a team bus in 1976 when I was a little boy. He was very nice to me, liked him ever since. Liked Cosell too though those memories are hazy.

I am too young to have heard Olsen in the booth. But considering he was also an actor I could believe you in saying he was great in the booth.

Shit just irritated the hell out of me.

Totally get that. Lots of my friends were the same way. I appreciated the passion.
