As a TV commentator, Madden served as the lead NFL analyst for all four major broadcast networks - CBS, FOX, ABC and NBC, where he spent the last three seasons calling games for Sunday Night Football. His final broadcast was Super Bowl XLIII in Tampa in February. The National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences honored Madden with 16 EmmyŤ Awards for Outstanding Sports Analyst/Personality and he was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2006.
