What is Maddenism?
1.
Nonsensical gibberish or, alternately, blindingly obvious observations spouted by one of the most inept football commentators in the history of the medium. Fox thought Pat was the senile one when it was John all along.
"To win the game, you have to score more points than the other team."
"It doinked the post, and whenever the ball doinks the post, you want it to bounce back between the posts."
"Donovan McNabb is doing the things
Donovan McNabb does."
"First down is a good down."
"The quarterback's job is to throw the ball to his receivers."
"That was a dumb play. Dumb play. You know, that was a dumb play. I mean, that was a dumb play. I've seen some dumb plays, but that was a dumb play! (lampooned by the Simpsons. Sez Homer, "that team sure did suck last night. They just plain sucked! I've seen teams suck before, but they were the suckiest bunch of sucks that ever sucked.")."
