John Madden to miss first game after 476 in a row
Favre aint got nothin' on Madden.
NBC: Madden will miss 'SNF' game John Madden will miss Week 7 after working 476 in a row. Madden travels by bus because of fear of flying and will skip cross-country trip Cris Collinsworth will replace Madden in booth at Tampa Bay NEW YORK (AP) -- John Madden will miss calling an NFL game this weekend after working 476 in a row. The 72-year-old Sunday Night Football analyst, who travels by bus because of a fear of flying, will take a break to spend time with his family instead of making three straight cross country trips, NBC said Monday. Madden went from Jacksonville, Fla., to San Diego last week; he would have had to return to Florida for this Sunday's game at Tampa Bay. There's no Sunday Night Football game the following weekend, so Madden would have then headed home to the Bay Area. NBC Sports chairman Dick Ebersol first approached Madden in the spring with the suggestion of skipping the trip. Cris Collinsworth, normally a part of NBC's studio show, will fill in for Madden.

A guy I work with has the same fear of flying. A week before he has to fly, he starts getting worked up about it, gets a wild eyed postal worker look about him and has to drink himself into a coma before he gets on a plane. It's the only time the guy ever drinks.

Anyone else find Collinsworth's fake smile and exaggerated enthusiasm to be a bit much?

I never have warmed up to Collingsworth either. The guy always comes across as a complete tool.
