Are there any Hall of Fame broadcasters?
Howard Cosell? Madden was already in as a coach right?

It appears that the Hall of Fame gives out the Pete Rozelle Radio-Television Award to honor announcers

Interesting, Cosell hasn’t been given the honor, his Wikipedia page suggests that he’s been blackballed from it:
In I Never Played the Game, Cosell popularized the word "jockocracy" (originally coined by author Robert Lipsyte), describing how athletes were given announcing jobs that they had not earned. Coincidentally, he was replaced for the 1985 World Series broadcast by Tim McCarver, himself a former baseball player, to join Al Michaels and Jim Palmer. (The title of the book is a double entendre, meaning that Cosell never actually played the game of football or any other professional sport he broadcast, as well as implying that he never played the "game" of corporate politics.) Cosell is notably absent from the Pro Football Hall of Fame.[28][29]
