Was there any reason they couldn't have put Madden in a booth in San Jose and have him do remote commentary? It worked fine for NBC on the Olympics, and it doesn't seem like his skill set would need to be on- site to be as "effective" as he usually is. James Brown and Bill Cowher were fine working remotely this morning when the power was out in Buffalo. Is his in-booth chemistry with Michaels that important? Do they not want to set some kind of precedent? Pressure from the league? --Dave Sikula --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Like TV only smarter.
