NBC broadcaster John Madden will miss calling an NFL game this weekend after working 476 in a row. Madden, who famously travels by bus because he’s afraid to fly, will sit out Sunday night’s game in Tampa Bay rather than make three straight cross country trips.
That means Madden will have some unaccustomed free time on a fall weekend. Here’s some of what we imagine he’ll do to fill the void:
10. Work on his impression of Frank Caliendo
9. Hunt for eight-legged turduckens
8. Campaign for his favorite candidate, O-BAM!-a
7. Wonder whether the dominant NFC East will ever lose a non-division game (wait, what?)
6. Discover there’s some newfangled video game bearing his name
5. Fend off job offer from wacko Al Davis
4. Open Maddencruiser to house home-foreclosed masses
3. Tell Al Michaels that if he wants to mention the point spread or the over/under, to just come out and do it already rather than dance around the issue like he’s being all clever
2. Finally snare “Most Commercials” title from Peyton Manning
1. Use telestrator to break down financial crisis

Great! Still posting on the old post, as usual. The one downside of being on the left coast, I'm catching up on the latest post when I come in to work, but then I wind up posting on a dead thread. Oh well...

Meet up with Tony Kornheiser and call him a copycat for having a fear of flying.

AP Story from San Diego:
A San Diego man accused of poaching lobsters allegedly was caught with six of the creatures stuffed down his pants.
Thirty-three-year-old Binh Quang Chau, who has been cited four times for poaching, allegedly took the lobsters from the La Jolla State Marine Conservation Area.
Department of Fish and Game warden Daryl Simmons says wardens arrested Chau when they noticed "odd bulges" in his pants. All six of the newspaper-wrapped lobsters were still alive and were returned to the ocean.

I had to pass this on, but am afraid to risk any comment. DJ?
