Briefly...  Madden Nation is a $100,000 Madden tournament that travels cross-country.  They play games each week (there are 8 guys on the bus), and the losers play a "jeopardy" round, where the loser of that game is kicked off the bus for the time being.  I believe the replacements come from their various stops.  They're working their way from the West coast to New York City.  It's kind of cool to watch these guys practice and play each other.

Training camp is a show where gamers get the opportunity to play against a "professional" from their game of choice.  Plus, they share their expert tips with viewers.  Eddie George hosts the whole thing.  It's kind of neat to see these expert video game hockey players take to the real ice against a pro, for example.  It's not like a real game or anything, but they do play around with them a bit.
