Well... this doesn't really go here, but once a year, I'm allowed to break my own rules... and a friend asked that I share this 'true story' with everyone
"God's Country"!
John Madden was in Dallas to announce a football game one weekend when he noticed a special telephone near the Cowboys' bench. He asked QB Tony Romo what it was used for and was told it was a hotline to God. John asked if he could use it. Tony replied, '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 Manning told him, 'It's a hotline to God if you want to use it, it will cost you $500.' Recalling the previous week, John pulled out his wallet and made the call. John's picks were perfect again that week.
Last weekend, John was in Green Bay, when he noticed the same kind of telephone by the Packers' bench. He asked Brett Favre 'Is that the hotline to God?' Brett said, 'Yes, and if you want to use it, it will cost you 50 cents.' John looked incredulously at Brett and said, 'Wait a second, I just paid $200 in Dallas and $500 in Indianapolis to use the same phone to God! Why do the Packers only charge 50 cents?
Brett replied, 'Because in Wisconsin, it's a local call...
Welcome to God's Country.'. . . . . . .
Go Packers!!!
