of Madden saying something about the equation of force and power and momentum, and my high school physics teacher (who was a huge Giants fan) bemoaning how he got it all wrong in class the next day.
He and Summerall were a perfect pairing. I wish more of today's play-by-play announcers adopted Pat's approach during big moments: a straight, punchy exclamation ("...and Morris is gone!"), followed by silence, letting the play and crowd/player reactions speak for themselves.
But I swear I remember a Thanksgiving game in which Madden made some remark like, "that's 8 turkey legs... double the usual!" and Summerall responded with a bewildered: "Turkeys don't have 4 legs!"
