John Madden was in New England to announce a football game one weekend when he noticed a special telephone near the Patriots' bench.
He asked QB Brady what it was used for,and was told it was a hotline to God.
John asked if he could use it, and Brady replied,"Sure, but it will cost you $200."
John scratched his head, then thought, what the heck, I could use some help picking games, so he pulled out his wallet and paid the $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 Farvre, "Is that the hotline to God?"
Farvre said,"Yes,and if you want to use it, it will cost you 50 cents."
John looked incredulously at Farvre and said,"Wait a second,I just paid $200. in New England and $500. in Indianapolis to use the same phone to call God!
Why do the Packers charge only 50 cents?"
Farvre replied,"Because in Green Bay, it's a Local Call!
Welcome to God's Country!"
