Carlucci Posted August 24, 2003 Report Share Posted August 24, 2003 I just got this email from ESPN .... ---- You may have received an email recently in which John Madden was inappropriately portrayed. Visual Concepts, producer of ESPN Videogames, regrets this and apologizes. Such tactics are not indicative of how we normally conduct business, and we have tightened approval procedures to prevent such mistakes from happening in the future. ESPN did not approve the previous correspondence and has had a terrific personal and working relationship with John Madden. ------ Did anyone get the email in question? I may have deleted it without reading. Now I wish I knew what it was all about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Camp Posted August 25, 2003 Report Share Posted August 25, 2003 so...what's the big deal about that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Monkey Posted August 25, 2003 Report Share Posted August 25, 2003 With people already claiming that Madden is old and a has-been (I'm not one!), Disney probably wondered why another Disney company is drawing attention (and exacerbating) perceived deficiencies in its marquee program, Monday Night Football. -j Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romier S Posted August 25, 2003 Report Share Posted August 25, 2003 Hey...that can be the new word of the week....malarkey Nope, there is no need as the word of the week has been set. Therefore the word malarkey can easily be defenestrated :wink:. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlucci Posted August 26, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2003 Wow, just found out that Frank Caliendo is taking Jimmy Kimmel's spot on Fox's NFL pre-game show. This guy does a spot-on John Madden. http://www.frankcaliendo.com/high_bandwidt...multimedia.html John Madden won't be happy about that, either.

foogledricks Posted September 1, 2003 Report Share Posted September 1, 2003 Weel, after seeing that German XBOX ad (Life is short, play hard), no other ad will really have much offensive impact. What a great commercial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
