HEADLINES
How Great Was Favre?
Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings defeat Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers.
Mike: He threw a perfect game. He was as good as it gets. Brett Favre was on it let Brett Favre was on it.
Tony: I think this will be the high water mark of the season. He tried to maneuver himself in this position for two years. Favre is fueled by vanity and anger.
Are Packers In Trouble?
Minnesota Vikings defensive end Jared Allen had four and half sacks of the Vikings eight sacks.
Mike: Green Bay didn’t play all that badly, Vikings are just better. Rodgers played great.
Tony: It’s fair to compare Favre and Rodgers. It may have been personal. Allen has 30 sacks in last two years.
Time For Bobby To Go?
FSU makes overtures to remove Bobby Bowden.
Mike: I don’t take this lightly. He’s everything to FSU and I don’t think anyone should say anything about him leaving.
Tony: You can’t fire him and you can’t run him out. You have to try and convince him.
LeBron & Edwards Beefing?
A friend of LeBron James gets into fight with Braylon Edwards.
Mike: I don’t get this. I’ve been out with Edwards in Cleveland. He’s a visable guy. He’s been a great host. To all of sudden to hear his beef, I don’t know what to think.
Tony: You can not go up against James in Cleveland. Maybe next year if he moves to New York but you can’t do it now.
Interested In Buying Rams?
Rush Limbaugh interested in buying Rams.
Mike: The NFL would agree to this in a half second. I’m betting that Limbaugh shares the politics with many NFL Owners although they don’t publicly offend people with “glee.” Could you see Limbaugh hugging brothers after the game?
Tony: If they ask him about Donovan McNabb he’ll say he’s a entertainer. He’s got bucks.
COMMERCIAL BREAK
FIVE GOOD MINUTES
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Bernard Berrian
- Favre was calm, cool and collected. He looked like vintage Favre.
- On the days leading up to the game he was the same old Brett.
- Before the game, Favre addressed the team by sayings, “do I have to say something?”
- Win meant something special to him. At beginning of season Favre said he was in Minnesota to win.
- We’re not seeing as much down the field “we’re going to talk about that.” [laughs]. “I don’t want to say he’s managing the game.”
- Concerns were that Favre wasn’t a good teammate. Once we got to know him we realize that’s not the truth. He’s like a 12-year old kid.
- I did grow tired of drama of the “will he”/”won’t he” drama. But now it’s all positive.
- Jared is a funny character.
- I think Tony’s beard is better than Childress’ beard.

TOSS UP!
More Impressive So Far: Giants Or Colts?
Mike: Both these teams have been impressive. If I was doing a ranking, opps I do, I’m going to give it to the Colts.
Tony: Neither team has played a particular hard scheduled. I’m going to say the Giants.
Who Would You Rather Have As Your Quarterback: Romo or Orton?
Mike: If you used a combined you’re going to pick Romo. Then you say the other guy keeps winning. I take Orton. I know it sounds crazy.
Tony: Orton has no interception and team is 4-0. Romo has 4 interception and his team is 2-2. At the present time it’s Orton.
Who will end up with more catches this season: Michael Crabtree or Darrius Heyward-Bey?
Mike: It’s too late in the year even if Crabtree signs today. The answer is Bey but not by much.
Tony: DHB got Crabtree’s money. Right now he has more names than catches. If Crabtree signs it’s Crabtree. He’s only two behind Bey.
Who Will Have The Bigger Posteason: Manny or Papi?
Mike: Manny is unpredictable. He can still carry a team and he’s done it more recently than Papi. I have Manny.
Tony: I think the Cardinals can beat the Dodgers and I think the Red Sox can make the ALCS. Manny has an injury hand. I’ll take Big Papi.
