Favre and Madden together at last?
Switzer Speaks: Favre to Fox?
Reported by Mike Fisher on Scouts.com
That’s why FOX included Switzer on its studio show last year, pairing him as a “Grumpy Old Man’’ with long-time friend/nemesis Jimmy Johnson. But Switzer told me on Friday that while the network is still negotiating with him about a role, FOX may replace him on its totem pole with another legendary name.
“Well, they’re talking to Favre,’’ said Switzer as we both attended OU’s Honorary Degree luncheon on the school’s campus. “I still think they want me involved in some way. But with Brett. … they might pair him in a segment with (Terry) Bradshaw, I don’t know. … It’s a lot of fun for me, but there’s only so much time (available) on that show. And, hey, he’s Brett Favre!’’
Someone in TV please sign Brett Favre, please!!! Not because I want to hear the good old boy from Mississippi analyze the game but because it would further reassure the Lions won’t be guaranteed two losses on the season. Seriously has Favre filled out his retirement papers yet?
Anyway if Favre does go to TV I think he should do Sunday night games with Al Michaels and John Madden on NBC. Could you picture the Madden and Favre love affair in the booth. Madden would be all over Favre every Sunday night like he was a 12 legged turkey on Thanksgiving they might have to stiffen the TV rating for those broadcast maybe a TV-MA.
