'Voice of God' heir battles NFL Films over Madden program

If you're a football fan, you've surely heard the voice of the late John Facenda. Facenda, a beloved Philadelphia newscaster from 1948-1973, gained national recognition for his voice-over work with NFL Films in the latter part of his career.

However, a lawsuit filed by Facenda's son alleges that the NFL allowed Electronic Arts to use the announcer's voice to promote Madden 2006 in violation of a contract Facenda signed before his death. (GameCube, Madden NFL 06, Nintendo DS, PC, PS2, PSP, Xbox, Xbox 360)
