" The five -- sports we know SIX SEVENTY The Score. Who sports station. Crackers get access to take on the Minnesota Vikings -- thing I can't say I was about as nervous as it's ever been forced to have -- play action looks. -- Full -- a lot like to do them. As the week progresses I felt fine. But and I got to the hotel yesterday -- it. Kind of dawned on -- Also it doesn't -- for the children. I didn't get a chance to win that's all --"

" Man -- Chicago Sports Radio 67. The our lives that we -- Right bars the bases. It was like oil and the houses are built ball."

" Yeah you can work varsity facial Vikings or injury appears -- I'd say and it's all about Favre I watch Monday Night Football I noticed well think about determines when it. I think -- and eventually it would just right now probably -- now I don't -- What's the I don't know but it would have been immaculate connection to have court -- throw out the first pitch yesterday."

" Foul line area I'll save that for the Yankees now I -- oh it was great talking to Bobby Wade the first sarge deserves to I think."

" She's -- Algeria to enjoy is worse for one of former linebacker right."

" What's funny is that is Urlacher is gone and analyze injured out for the year and and now Bobby -- on him. I was doing okay so that'll story with that I was pretty good way to start that was that was -- would start the season they -- ball well."

" Yeah you know I don't Obama because we've played Monday night title opportunity to watch a -- Sunday at football -- we we have the Bears Lions game on -- fear and -- agility."

" ID in and day didn't really do a -- game that it wasn't it was really his best game but. Whatever yeah I bet that that. Let's let's start with the twins it is that's the story of the day on the that was an amazing thing when you think about it the way that Detroit's season ended and what's happened to that that particular program. But as you look at where the twins are. What what I mean. Flying across country now and all the night in and facing the Yankees anyway it was never going to be easy. How quickly can you put that behind DePaul and get onto the business of the day."

" After -- yesterday we were watching them around the metrodome expend energy and popped champagne and beer and everything in the clubhouse. And down and and you couldn't help but wonder. Don't truly concerned every ounce of energy o'clock o'clock central that night against an eagle at DCC sabathia. So yeah my -- certainly the W big underdogs tonight W big underdogs in this entire series they're probably yeah. It -- global game and unbelievable. Golden gate and just seeing all -- don't know that Ozzie Guillen tailback Jake Peavy struck Friday night game and how to. You know work colleague --"

" Well -- but what time did de Miguel Cabrera put down the last bottle last night."

" I don't know probably toilet just punch drunk without a monstrous home run."

" That was awesome because every closed at the alcohol related series gosh now up where now. And build as Paul Allen -- the Vikings you know call out. I'm not a huge fan of the twins just because everyone else's that's the problem in the twins they play this great command a bit of brand of baseball blob -- lobs they -- this system wide rob or rod and yet there are no use in MVP on a way to make you don't need him. He choked in the last year and now he's not -- you win the division anyway so. I guess I. I just you're so many baseball people compliment all the time I feel like I shouldn't have to jump in but it is yeah."

" I understand what you're saying I think it's not a small ball twins bat that you guys would take my name. You got Jason Kubel please apply to the article and I don't know runs Orlando Cabrera the former south side by an Olympic utilize. -- don't go station just occasionally but you still am and I know it's kind of precious story because all the injuries and everything. Nevertheless start the first game in the history of this story get them to come completely into how important is -- is an unbelievable story."

" And the Sox made an atmosphere -- it probably lets ask about it the hump DelHomme led list for at least one more game. You go to an outdoor stadium now in last night's weather would have been it would better -- I am on record way to play eat elimination game like that. I'm gonna lose is terrific home field advantage 4933 at home that led the Tigers at every bit the troubles that the White Sox did in that ballpark. Historically in this season. Isn't going to be some virus that buyer's remorse when you go to the new -- target field."

" But absolutely not they're going to be sold out for five years they're gonna have forty million dollars more obligated annual revenue generated -- right now once they get going. So it's gonna be markedly easier to re -- Jerome now can be markedly easier to identify free agent since. You know maybe go out there in July and it's definitely at all but for -- like Victoria most. Maybe -- And I and embrace and some guys who can actually altitude and."

" Little shot you can -- all right that's fine I've no problem with that -- Allenby of voice of the viking legend magic about the spend a forty million for a -- more than willing we'll send them out there Paul what is how is that Favre loved the national love for -- playing within their team."

" Well I don't know -- national wildlife it has no locally. Local I think everybody's pretty much embraced him by now we have we have -- potential deal in seven weeks ago at least was somewhere. He has the Packers an integral -- for so -- that people couldn't place him. That he hangs spine tingling loss on the night person that. They had and it was very very dramatic final play of the game basically adopted I think a lot of people bought into it dead. You know I think debate -- golf industry -- He got a lot of guys on this team including. You know younger stars like Gregory Peterson Jared Allen who actually at all hardly see the miracles and actually looked on the our. But just elated that he be part of it is doing nothing would help incompetence."

" What is involved as one of the interest in stores I've found a way was that that meeting that. He's Brett Favre stands up in front of the teammates and tries to convince them this is before the heroics with Greg Lewis -- before Monday Night Football. That he's in a for the right reasons he's one of them it's not just some interloper some carpet -- here to make his stance of good and get back to Green Bay. Can it did you talk to people that that the players in that meeting and obviously now they're they've bought and a 100% because of stuff that's happened after the after that fact but. What was that like for those guys or they did they have we sold from him that he was it they're for the right reason."

" Well I'm encouraged dictated a lot of the conversation over the last three months you know to be honest with you but. There have been there have been a couple of things along the way where where he had to ask somebody factor. Clinton's top of the Childress told him. -- don't look at -- if you don't have surgery on the right arm it's not even a conversation so that. You know I don't think I wanted to have surgery he had surgery. And clearly that's -- on the ball a lot of velocity. And down. You know what it when he got there I don't really know I genuinely don't believe that don't watching leaders are a lot of a lot of big guys on this team. Concerned. I mean I'm sure after that -- give them look forward and and -- and players and coaches or Connell an -- because -- be all right guys on this team that completely. With what are being here. You don't really watched him in the first couple games were important to all that much yet the only 5% of the steps just. At Detroit getting up and down on the field. Anyway I could get -- and and I realize is that doubt this is a good team this -- seemed to have a lot of potential. And he's completely bought into the system so you know through the first quarter this season it is gonna go to marriage."

" Went what what we do you have for his injury and in the pool do you have a week set -- when he goes down at -- authority."

" All the little luck and enjoy talking about it if if you get -- like here. -- you -- without -- are slim five weeks he say it 95 passer rating. After that you indicated that at bat and that mr. Mangini and dropped the ball 3040 times with a torn biceps so all of you know that played -- But it certainly didn't help it and you know it's not -- the Vikings didn't go along with -- right -- an adjective guesswork. They knew exactly what was wrong so I'll. It being on MG. A bit but personally games. It was pretty much unscathed in the Monday Night Football games out in particular Jack -- we -- a legitimate chance to go to the Super Bowl."

" I have no question about that but the problem with Favre as he's gonna run forty yards on the field trying to throw block or something I mean I I got a forty years old play and a professional football is a recipe for disaster and I know the guy's been. Absolutely unbelievable the way that he's held up but at some point. That that that streak comes to a screeching halt I just. I don't know ST -- ready or or Sage Rosenfels that's I think you're gonna see one of those guys this year and I know that's an unpopular opinion because of the -- treatment. I just think he's I think he's he's -- crazy dude running down field doing wacky stuff."

" Well equality and democracy a couple of times this year because at times we've been so freaking good with Beckett into the bullpen in the fourth quarter. Just got that that's been commonplace this year and I'm at temple didn't quite bigger -- about that send. You know being he's what the twins got quite frequently in the body back together. Giambi was that Delaware park facility yesterday and probably hours didn't body straight start to look at themselves out. Hit you know not. I'm not -- I'll look at -- I get out of conference and eventually got the job under Belichick didn't get my game and enjoying being article on mortality."

" He's all around the voice the Vikings yours or mine -- showed up on the way out Polly said to watch the Bears haven't seen him in person yet the season. You have to the Packers do you expect to be a three team race as you -- out there are are the Vikings gonna be battling one of the other two teams for the division."

" Candidacies. I respectfully disagreed with a lot of the national media in that. I thought the NFC north was probably vote for the best division in all of football. And column and I and the Vikings but twelve wins the Packers have been in the -- I -- the person Green Bay and short soldier got a little bit. Beyond doubt that the allotment and only factor was that defense of line is unbelievable -- I've never seen Alex how important lousy plate right now and and blah and only experience is gonna help the defense civilized. You know if you don't in the public are you know I think I think -- understand probably at their fingers crossed with guys like -- You know of course it would dominant in the game and it goes well he's engaged he's getting changing the fire. Yeah obligatory now don't get screwed up. Now he'll be a good thing -- W you guys now has been a good player in September October November and December have been different story. So I'll see we'll see what happens to that spot as the season goes on. Probably under -- beyond that there's a little bit defensively this year. It's it's definitely going to be at -- English. That the Packers and into the highlight being these categories there they're doing their offensive line is people question the after the right now without Chad Clifton. -- offensive line is the worst in the -- offensive line. Yeah -- did you collective act they got to figure out what could happen again college I'm not just beat a bad injury. Beyond the offensive line for the -- seemed to -- working okay Joe's job. It's it didn't actually shoot out between the Vikings in the and you know the Packers are going to be it hasn't -- upon."

" I -- and don't worry about having -- as we're gonna get him on supplements that the Williams baltics. The usual now does that and that's artist and we judge sentence starter till -- Good call on the off Favre to Greg Lewis I just yet that was replicate a balance changes that back behind center."

" Thank you end I was -- him he's gonna -- dormitory currents -- that they operate."

" Yeah. Our football -- daycare. These supplements. Wilkinson and Wednesday to keep them active and eligible."
