Dan Orlovsky running out of the endzone was just prophetic of the fact that he'll be playing in Canada soon.
Late-breaking news that I would've included in the links: Tony Romo is out four months with a broken finger.

Good to see Madden hasn't changed any, but the flow of the show is really awkward with the music intertwined. At least he's playing good X music from my generation, STP, Bush, Greenday, etc. I was worried it'd be that new crap, or the opposite extreme, UFO's greatest hits.
It's being produced very poorly, though.
How does one listen to the X online? I am having great difficulty.
Also, for those of you who own the metallica S&M cds (if you don't, go buy it, it rocks) the song is from the opening song on the first disc I believe.
Go to www.wxdx.com and click "listen live".
redhawks, i had the same problem, seemed that when i switched from firefox to i.e. it worked fine.
Glad to hear Madden, but it's exactly what I feared: music in between the segments, and when combined with the commercials, leaving not as much Madden.
I understand it's a radio station, but I don't know how successful it will be when done like this. I'm listening to it all the first day, but waned in between songs that I don't listen to, and even if I did, not sure if I would wait on a regular basis before turning the dial.
For a guy that says 'more of me...less of you', that approach should be with the tunes.
Yea, as extremely pumped as I was for Mark Madden today.. the music during the show ruins it. I'm guessing he doesn't play what he likes, and random 90's rock song is just inserted. I haven't turned FM radio on in almost 3 years thanks to Sirius.. but yikes, intelligent sports talk mixed with Bush and Green Day is sure going to be hard to get used to..
I wonder if he's actually prohibited from commenting on the music. There's no way he likes some of that stuff. Notice how he dodged the question when Prisuta asked him to play Skynyrd. He had to be biting his tongue.
Isn't that song from "the good, the bad, and the ugly?"
You got it Arlow - Sergio Leone classic! I get chills when hearing it.
