One day after he was named to replace the legendary John Madden in the broadcast booth for NBC's "Sunday Night Football," the Fort Thomas resident and former Bengals wide receiver Cris Collinsworth said he hoped the focus would remain on Madden, whom he called an American icon.

"Who follows John Madden is really not relevant," Collinsworth said. "He's someone who's been so special to me. But he's really even been more special to the country. It's like having everyone's relative calling the game."

Collinsworth was at Paul Brown Stadium Friday night, serving as master of ceremonies for the eighth annual Queen City Classic, one of the largest scholastic chess tournaments in the Midwest. The event is sponsored by the Cris Collinsworth ProScan Fund.
