John Madden, Hall of Fame coach and the most honored broadcaster in sports television history, has decided to retire from broadcasting। "It’s time. I’m 73 years old. My 50th wedding anniversary is this fall. I have two great sons and their families and my five grandchildren are at an age now when they know when I’m home and, more importantly

It’s been such a great ride… the NFL has been my life for more than 40 years, it has been my passion – it still is। I appreciate all of the people who are and were such an important part of the most enjoyable, most fun anyone could have… that great life with the teams, the players, the coaches, the owners, the League… my broadcasting partners Pat and Al… the production people and the fans …is still great… it’s still fun and that’s what it makes it hard and that’s why it took me a few months to make a decision।

JP Morgan Chase

JP Morgan Chase reported better-than-expected quarterly profits after a record performance at its investment bank। It joined rival Goldman Sachs in saying it was ready to repay emergency bailout money received from the government last year. Increased losses from credit cards and other consumer debt have forced JP Morgan to set aside more money to cover bad debts in its consumer banking business।

JP Morgan made a profit of $2।1bn (£1.41bn), or $0.40 a share, in the first three months of the year. Although that was lower than the $2.4bn result achieved a year ago, it beat analysts' consensus forecast of a profit of $0.30 a share. Revenues climbed 50% to $29.9bn. At the start of the week, Goldman raised $5bn from investors in an effort to become the first major US institution to pay back its $10bn slice of the emergency government bailout।

However, Jamie Dimon, the chief executive, said the bank had enough cash to return the $25bn in taxpayer funds it received in October. "We could pay it back tomorrow," he said, adding that he was waiting for guidance from the government on when it could do so. He said money received under the troubled asset relief program (Tarp) had become a "scarlet letter" for banks.

Melrose

Melrose native enjoyed a 14-year professional hockey career that included four seasons with the Boston Bruins from 1988-92। He retired in 1996 with NHL career totals of 222 points in 285 NHL games (82 goals, 140 assists) with Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, New Jersey, Boston and Winnipeg. The son of a Malden firefighter, Brickley was raised on Laurel Street in Melrose, the middle child of seven brothers and sisters।

After hanging up the skates, the player turned commentator। Brickley first began broadcasting on radio, providing color commentary for Bruins games in 1996. After just one year, he was recruited to television by UPN38, where he served as color analyst for two seasons, ultimately joining the NESN team in 2000.

Although he currently resides in Hingham with his wife, Diane, and daughters, Jenna and Michaela, Brickley’s roots remain firmly embedded in Melrose। His mother still lives in the same Laurel Street home he grew up in. His brothers George, Quinton and sister Raina, also reside in their hometown keeping the family’s legacy alive. “The Common was my backyard,” said Brickley, a Melrose High graduate in 1979.
