John Madden was in Buffalo to announce a football game one weekend
When he noticed a special telephone near the Bills bench. He asked Drew
Bledsoe what it was used for and was told it was a hotline to God.

John asked if he could use it. Drew told him, "Sure, but it will cost you
$200."
John scratched his head, then thought, what the heck, I could use some
help picking games.
He pulled out his wallet and paid $200. John's picks were perfect that
week.

The next week John was in Indianapolis when he noticed that same kind of
phone on the Colts bench.
He asked what the telephone was for and Peyton Manning told him, "It's a
hotline to God. If you want to use it, it will cost you $500." Recalling
last week, John pulled out his wallet and made the call. John's picks were
perfect again that week.

The next weekend John was in Foxboro at Gillette Stadium when he noticed
the same kind of telephone by the Patriots bench. He asked Tom Brady, "Is
that the hotline to God?" Tom said, "Yes, and if you want to use it, it
will cost you 35 cents."
John looked incredulously at Brady and said, "Wait a second, I just paid
$200 in Buffalo and $500 in Indianapolis to use the same phone to God!
Why do the Patriots only charge 35 cents?" Tom looked at John and replied,


"Because in New England, it's a local call."


GO PATS!
