a couple of weeks ago i was listening to a sports radio show, 670 the score in Chicago. And Balldinger and Maas were the topic of conversation. they actually got Maas on the phone and asked him if he was aware of the criticism that he and others like him faced because of the way the try to imitate Madden, etc. It was pretty hillarious. Anyway, I'll give Maas credit for taking the question. His response was basically 'yes he is aware of the criticism but this is how his bosses at Fox have asked him to call the games and he kind of has to stick to the script'. So, if he's telling the truth than his bosses at Fox are bigger idiots than he and Balldinger
