John Madden was in Denver to announce a football game one weekend when he noticed a
special phone near the Broncos’ bench. He asked Coach Shanahan what it was for and was
told it was a hotline to God. John asked the coach if he could use it, and the coach said:
"Sure, but it will cost you $100."

Madden scratched his head, then said: "What the heck, I need some help picking
some games." He pulled out his wallet and paid the $100. Madden was perfect that
week.

The next weekend, Madden was in Green Bay when he noticed the same kind of phone near
the Green Bay bench. He asked Coach Holmgren what the phone was for, and Mike said: "
It’s a hotline to God, and if you want to use it, it will cost you $100."

Recalling the previous week, Madden pulled out his wallet and gladly paid the $100.
Once again, Madden was perfect.

The next weekend, Madden was in Dallas at Texas Stadium when he noticed the same phone
near the Cowboy’s bench. He asked Coach Gailey if it was a hotline to God. Chan said,
"Yes it is. Do you want to use it? It’ll cost you 35 cents."

Madden looked at Coach Gailey and said, "Wait a minute! I just paid $100 in Denver
and $100 in Green Bay to use the same phone! Why in Dallas do they only charge 35
cents?"

Chan looked at Madden and replied very matter-of-factly, "In Texas, it’s a local
call."
