Wow, I bet he has his own cook on the bus. Can you imagine bussing across country by yourself in a big custom bus?
I think it's more b/c of his lung condition (pressurization and de-pressurization could be bad) rather than Madden's fear of flying, since Wallace (iirc) has flown everywhere his team has for the last 7 years.
That's a great idea for a reality show. What wacky adventures will happen next when an injured NBA player hitches a cross-country bus ride with a bombasatic TV announcer? Find out next week on Crash and the Coach!
You know you might be on to something there. A new reality series called stuck on a bus. Get a good mix of weirdos who will get into lots of trouble, and make lots of scenes, and it would draw a lot of viewers.
