"So this one time on my bus ... "

There is no holier a day in sports video gaming than the day the latest Madden release hits the shelves. In celebration of this cultural phenomenon, we'll be bringing you Madden-related content all week to get you worked up into the appropriate lather. But to kick off this week right, we want to hear from you.

Everyone's got a Madden story to tell, even The Mag's Bruce Feldman:

"I got into sports writing because of Madden. I was a college student majoring in Art who always believed I could do a better job of the guys covering sports in the newspapers. One day I decided I wanted to buy a Sega Genesis (I'm old) so I could try Madden Football. To get the money I called up the Miami Herald office and started working covering high school games. They gave me a chance. Three weeks later, I made my purchase and I decided to keep the job."

Does your story top Bruce's? Then submit it right now. You just might win a fabulous prize (seriously, it's fabulous).
