I enjoyed when, in the early 2000s, when just about every starting RB in the league got 1,000 yards, he kept calling out the poor performance of run defenses and specifically why they were giving up buckets of yards to mediocre backs. he even pointed out that Ricky Williams (who would have 1854 yards in the season) was benefiting from poor defensive scheming and execution against the Bears, and that the 60+ yard runs he ripped off during the game shouldn't have happened. and was consistent on challenging the ever-changing definition of fumbles.
my friend and I used to play each other on Madden religiously and we always used to recite out loud some of his choice sayings on the game, particularly "now WHY would the receiver run a route that DOESN'T go past the first down marker?!"
