Rod Lane and the crew at MaddenNation.com have created a whole site dedicated to making Madden's Release date a National Holiday. See their mission at MaddenHoliday.com
It is the primary goal of this project to make the Madden Football video game release date a national holiday so that people can take off work to pick up and play the game. We aim to have the Madden Holiday become law by August 1, 2005, in time for the Madden 2006 release.
An anonymous fan told us about an accident that turned into a plan he's been "cultivating" all summer:
I'm really allergic to poison ivy. Last year while working in the yard I got it, and it just so happens that it occurred on Madden's release date. I stayed home for three days until I mastered 2004 and beat everyone when I came back to the office. I usually spray weed killer in the yard to kill the plant. This year I have groomed a special batch. I'll rub a little on my legs and I'll be home free. The way I figure it -- a week of itching is worth a year of dominance in 2005!!
Russell from New Jersey plans to hold himself hostage:
Ransom Notice
Russell Xxxxx was kidnapped by Madden NFL 2005 on
August 10th and will be held hostage for the price of $50,000. Russell will be forced to practice and play Madden all day and enter into the Madden Challenge in order to pay the ransom himself.
Sincerely,
Madden Kidnappers
Joshua, a Green Bay fan and Madden player since 1997 has already sacrificed his health:
Dear EA SPORTS,
Ok, so... maybe I just lucked out. It turns out, last week my girlfriend came down with Mono. Being the Madden fan I am, and seeing as Madden NFL 2005 drops on August 10th, I saw this as a blessing from above. I made sure that I kissed my girlfriend, and sure enough, as if I was hit by *BOOM* Tough Actin' Tinactin, I came down with Mono. Now, I can look forward to at least two months of nothing but kickin' back, and playing Madden. And thanks to EASPORTS.com, I can buy it on my laptop, without ever leaving the bed.
Tim from Wellsville, OH is stocking up for Aug. 10th:
One day I sniffed a hand full of black pepper & rubbed toothpaste in my
eyes so I could go home early. The toothpaste only burned a little but, my
eyes were red as hell. Bottom line I got to go home.
Greg from Absecon, NJ is willing to take some teasing for his team:
The best way to get out of work is to say you got explosive diarrhea. Tell them on the way to work you went in your pants. They'll figure anyone who admits to going in their pants can't be lying. This way you can play Madden all day, learn this years ins and outs, be ready to crush your friends, and the only drawback will be adult diaper jokes at work.
Mike, from Manhattan, KS is handing in his two-weeks notice:
I'm quitting my job so I can play on August the 10th!
No really, this email address should be gone by then if the admins have their ducks in a row because I won't be here.
Jeff, a Madden player since 1994, plans to call in and lay the blame on his son:
RING, RING. May I speak with a Supervisor? Hello I just wanted to let you know I will not be reporting to work today. Yesterday afternoon when I came home from work my son was playing his last game of Madden NFL 2004; as I was walking I didn't notice the PS2 controller cord and I tripped over and fell on my hand. I need to stay home today, but I should be able to report back to work on Wednesday August 11th.
