I hear you. I'm not the biggest fan of travel and most of my trips are cross country. As soon as the bumps start, it's "miss, can I have a gin and tonic please?"

However, the ever popular "you could've take a bus" comment is a pet peeve of mine. Unlike in Europe, travel by ground is frequently an impossible option.

With all travel paid for by the tv networks and the NFL. He also had 3-5 days to travel from one place to another in a bus charted solely for him and a broadcasting schedule that was created around his specific travel prohibitions. If John Madden was doing it in a Greyhound bus with torn, crap stained seats, with 10 stops between destinations... then you'd have a point.
