    Two-Time Super Bowl Mvp Tom Brady And Emmy-Winning Broadcaster John Madden 'Call The Plays' For SIRIUS Satellite Radio Campaign Breaks August 2 To Promote NFL Sunday Drive, SIRIUS’Comprehensive Play-By-Play Package Two-Time Super Bowl Mvp Tom Brady And Emmy-Winning Broadcaster John Madden ‘Call The Plays’ For Sirius Satellite Radio NEW YORK, August 2, 2004 – Super Bowl MVP quarterback Tom Brady of the New England Patriots is teaming up with 14- time EMMY Award-winning football analyst John Madden in a new ad campaign for SIRIUS Satellite Radio (NASDAQ: SIRI), the Official Satellite Radio Partner of the NFL. The campaign will officially debut on August 2. The SIRIUS NFL Sunday Drive campaign, including television, radio and print ads will run on a variety of NFL and sports media all the way through the post-season. The humorous television spot, titled “Breaking News,”features Brady in his car showing off his SIRIUS receiver to Madden. Brady’s real-life wide receivers, Deion Branch, Troy Brown and David Givens appear in the spot, bewildered at Madden’s “breaking news”that a SIRIUS Satellite Radio is Brady’s “new favorite receiver.” The ad campaign promotes SIRIUS NFL Sunday Drive, the new programming package that lets subscribers choose from a full slate of live radio game broadcasts from around the NFL each Sunday. SIRIUS NFL Sunday Drive complements SIRIUS NFL Radio – the only 24/7/365 channel dedicated exclusively to pro football – launching on August 2. “This campaign will highlight SIRIUS’ unique ability to broadcast the entire NFL every week through SIRIUS NFL Sunday Drive, as well as show the ease and flexibility of satellite radio,”said Mary Pat Ryan, Executive Vice President of Marketing, SIRIUS.

It is based in Denver. See The United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit, http://www.ca10.uscourts.gov/ (last visited July 11, 2012).
