John Madden has announced his retirement as an NFL broadcaster, after serving 30 successful years as a broadcaster. Madden was a broadcaster for CBS, Fox, ABC and NBC. For the past couple of seasons, Madden was a commentator for NBC's Sunday Night Football, including calling the Super Bowl XLIII matchup between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Arizona Cardinals.
Also, the Cardinals announced that they would finally hear offers for the services of wide receiver Anquan Boldin. Boldin has expressed his frustration before the start of the season about not getting a new contract. The Cardinals have stated before that they will not trade Boldin and will get a deal worked out, but now, nine days before the NFL Draft, they have decided to pursue other options. It isn't a guarantee that Boldin will be traded, but the Cardinals have said they are looking for a first and third round draft pick if they were to deal him.
Finally, Doc Rivers, head coach of the Boston Celtics, has stated that there is a good possibility that forward Kevin Garnett may not be available for the playoffs. The Celtics play the Chicago Bulls in the first round, and Garnett has tried to practice in order to get into game shape. After watching Garnett attempt to practice, Rivers concluded that there is no way that he is able to play now. There is still an outside chance Garnett can play later on in the playoffs if they're still in it, but that is not a guarantee.
