    Madden retires from booth after 30 years

    NEW YORK - John Madden’s last game as a football announcer was a thrilling Super Bowl decided in the final seconds.

    The perfect ending to a run as one of sports’ most popular broadcasters, now that Madden called it a career Thursday. Yet it didn’t fit Madden’s style to think about his retirement that way.

    “I’m a grinder,” he said on his Bay Area radio show. “You just grind and get through it and when it’s all over, you think about it. You don’t rush into any decisions.”
