The event is held every year to mark the start of the Madden NFL 12 launch, which coincidentally arrives on August 30th for those not yet in the know.
NFL Network’s RICH EISEN, and DAN PATRICK of NBC’s Football Night in America call the action, while MARIA MENOUNOS goes on the field to provide updates from the sidelines.
Tune in to watch Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback DAN MARINO lead “The Gamers” with newly enshrined Hall of Famer DEION SANDERS and former New York Giants defensive end, MICHAEL STRAHAN. On the other side of the ball, “The Famers” take the field with Super Bowl XXXIV MVP KURT WARNER at the helm, along with Hall of Fame wide receiver JERRY RICE and actor RYAN MCPARTLIN from NBC’s Chuck.
