Was John Madden the best at being a color analyst for a sports broadcast? How does Robert Kekaula, Artie Wilson, Chris McLachlin, and Pal Eldridge rate as local sports game analysts?

Madden combined knowledge with flair, although there were occasions when he said things that just didn't make sense.
As broadcast analysts go, Madden is up there in football, right alongside my other personal favorites like Merlin Olsen, Bud Wilkinson, and Al DeRogatis.
With the exception of Chris McLachlin, none of the KFVE analysts hold a candle to the cream of the national network analysts in their respective sports. I mean, comparing Artie to Billy Packer? Pal to Tim McCarver? You gotta be kiddin'! If the current crop of KFVE and Oceanic analysts looked for jobs on the mainland, they would be ESPN 2/regional cable network material, at best.This post may contain an opinion that may conflict with your opinion.

Re: All Madden Team
Tim McCarver was once excellent at what he did, but like a lot of the good ones (Madden included, and I'm a Raiders fan so Madden is a god), he became a bad parody of himself. It doesn't help that when McCarver's on national games, it's usually with a play-by-play guy (Joe Buck) and another color guy. There just isn't enough room in a booth for McCarver and another color guy.But I'm disturbed! I'm depressed! I'm inadequate! I GOT IT ALL! (George Costanza)

Still, a flawed Madden and McCarver are light years ahead of the likes of Kekaula and Eldredge, respectively, IMHO.This post may contain an opinion that may conflict with your opinion. Do not take it personal. Polite discussion of difference of opinion is welcome.

Re: All Madden Team
My current favorite color commentator is Marques Johnson. Especially when he teamed with Kevin Calabro for Seattle Sonics games in the 90's.
None of the local Hawaii color commentators does much for me. Kekaula is one of the worst I have ever heard.

Re: All Madden Team
Robert Kekaula has got to be one of the worst color analysts out there . He has absolutely no objectivity. I can understand being for your home team, but he and Bobby Curran are the worst, every call that goes against UH is wrong in their opinions.GO RAIL GO!!!

Fox Sports Networks' color analysts in ever area are biased as well. Stu Lantz and Joel Meyers cover Laker games for FSN and KCAL, and they are usually biased towards the Lakeshow (altho I don't mind that ).
Analysts for channels that cover sports for other colleges are biased as well.
No surprise.
