I'm sorry, but WHAT?
Indy, Cleveland, Green Bay, Chicago, all in a row. Then Jacksonville, San Diego, then Tampa, followed by an off week. I guess the guy goes back to northern California every week, but that is hardly a tough gig.
Did not NBC give him a copy of the schedule last March?

Curious, do you guy's want to cross the country 3 times in 3 months ?
Driving ???? I know I wouldn't.
I don't care how nice the Motorhome is .....
Try being a NASCAR hauler driver.

good, I can actually turn the volume up on my TV and enjoy a game, instead of hearing him eat turkey and talk about cankels.

Maybe they can get the guys from Monday football to sit in for Madden?
How would you guys like that?
i dont think many would
football would be better if there were no annoucers imho
itrs a pretty self explanitory sport

Maybe Frank Caliendo can sit in for him next week.
That would be awesome.
They should have never said anything about Madden being gone and just brought in Caliendo and not show John in the booth
No one would ever know Madden was not there.

It's 1-win Seattle against Tampa Bay, which is not a ratings-drawing powerhouse- I don't blame him.
Or get over whatever phobia he has, and get in an NBC corporate jet.
He'd be on the fence - you saw what happened to DJ AM and Travis Barker. Their plane crashed, but of all weird circumstances the "celebrities" survived while the others perished (so if Madden's plane crashed, he would have the odds of surviving).
When I heard this Madden thing at first, I thought no big deal, NBC is taking the week off due to the World Series, but then I realized I think it's the "Game 7" sunday that NBC is taking off and not next week (and it was confirmed by a newspaper article that NBC is having a game next sunday).
Madden should be working every game as contracted, IMHO. It's only like 18 games to work and there is a nice lengthy offseason to do "grandfatherly things".
I normally do not do the deal of contrasting the celebrity life with regular people's lives. I just change the channel when somebody tries to explain to me why rockers get druged out because of life on the road, or how tough it is to grow up famous and so on.
But I had this friend. He could not find work locally and went to driving a truck. Team drove (two guys alternating driving and sleeping) from High Point, NC to San Diego to deliver furnature to the Navy every week, returning via Charlotte with a load of some kind of Chinese made toy crap. Three days out, three days back. On his off Sunday, he drove his personal car 200 miles one way to see his kids and fight with his ex-wife. Made about $50K, which is not bad for a blue collar guy, but not life changing.
Tell Madden to give him a call.
