Madden didn't develop his fear of flying until he was already working as a commentator, circa 1979. For a few years, he was using Amtrak to get to his game assignments, but that got to be a bit too problematic (or he got too big for the sleeping car beds), so the bus was the solution. -- Jim Ellwanger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://www.ellwanger.tv> --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Like TV only smarter.
