Game with Fame:

Live from the Madden Bowl

Published January 23, 2008

The Madden Bowl is an annual event in which eight current NFL players go head to head in a Madden NFL 08 single-elimination tournament on Xbox 360. This year, Madden Bowl XIV will be held at the Martini Ranch in Scottsdale, Ariz., and will feature eight NFL players who will compete for the chance to be deemed the league's best Madden 08 player.

Take the field against celebrity Madden players.

To kick off the weekend, Xbox LIVE will host Game with Fame sessions allowing Xbox LIVE Gold members to play against NFL celebrities. Sign onto Xbox LIVE at 6:30 P.M. Mountain Time (8:30 P.M. ET, 5:30 P.M. PT) on Thursday, January 31, to score an opportunity to chat and play Madden NFL 08 against NFL star Patrick Willis of the San Francisco 49ers.

Sign onto Xbox LIVE that evening to chat and play NFL Tour with cover athlete and NFL star Shawne Merriman of the San Diego Chargers. NFL players will participate in the Game with Fame from Arizona just hours before they try to win the Madden Bowl XIV and claim yearlong bragging rights among their football-playing brethren.
