If youre headed to Sundays Packers-Vikings game intent on booing or cheering for Brett Favre during pregame introductions, youre going to be disappointed. Youll have to express your feelings for the ex-Packers and current Vikings quarterback some other way.
According Packers public relations director Jeff Blumb, visiting teams get to decide whether or not they want to be introduced individually or as a team in pregame introductions on the road.
According to Vikings public relations director Bob Hagan, Vikings coach Brad Childress would have the final say for the Vikings. Hagan said that so far this season, the Vikings have chosen to be introduced as a full team all year.
I talked to Vikings kicker Ryan Longwell Wednesday afternoon, and he said the Vikings have been eschewing individual introductions at home, too.
We really feel we want to be a team, so were introduced as a team, Longwell said. Might they change it up on Favres account, just to make things interesting Sunday? Were certainly not going to draw any extra attention to any of our guys, much less the main guy, Longwell said with a chuckle.
