ESPN has plans to Blitz Lambeau

The Green Bay Press-Gazette reported that, in addition to the regular Monday Night Football crew of Mike Tirico, Rob Jaworski, and Tony Kornheiser, the ESPN Monday Night Countdown show will air directly from Lambeau Field, with Chris Berman, Stuart Scott, Tom Jackson, Keyshawn Johnson, Steve Young, Emmitt Smith, and Chris Mortensen in the house. Whoa! ESPN is brining in the entire horse and pony show for the Monday night Minnesota Vikings at Green Bay Packers match-up on September 8th.

ESPN will also broadcast portions of two SportsCenter shows from Lambeau Field, along with their Pardon the Interruption show. ESPN officials are quoted as saying “…with the Packers set to retire Brett Favre’s jersey and this being ESPN’s first visit to Lambeau Field for a ‘MNF‘ game — the decision was a no-brainer.”

Perhaps we should rename Lambeau field to ESPN field for the night! With all eyes on the game, Vikings Vixen hopes the Minnesota Vikings will squash the Green Bay Packers and show the nation that THE PURPLE should be feared.
