Dale and Holley Opening Segment

Brett Favre is the greatest quarterback. In the history of sports. Is that your Jon Gruden impersonation. I there was it was a little over the well immaculate I didn't hear it but -- with felony the the overnight -- on this station yet. And an evidently Jerry Leo listen to on the way in and the guy whoever it is who is hosting it was saying. Last night was the greatest. Performance by a quarterback in the history of the NFL. I mean that's what he was claiming some odd looking.

I don't believe that -- I don't believe any person would say that I don't I don't believe the Deanna Favre. -- the lovely wife thinks that access debt not a there's no way there is no way somebody -- a big game James says he has -- tape I wanna hear that it.

Let's Favre is on top of the sports world and he deserves debate. No matter what your opinion is on then you should all -- out. When you get up today -- you know somethin'. That was historic. The world lucky to be a lot to watch it just great moment in sports history look at the positive side but this story. It's just too good. It's not got anything negative to say about Favre today.

Only good thing about that purposes. These C 130 telegraph.

I evidently the other cut in and we heard the one calories that we are lucky to be alive.

After that last seen. I'd go that way in this historic moment I feel that way at elected elected after -- Brett Favre and what else forgot what -- never won 3M VPs like -- farms up to a higher level and Elway in my opinion he's right there what Montana. If he continues to do this and with another Super Bowl -- Favre could be at the point when he's untouchable. For everybody waking up in New England notice respectable eighty Brady doesn't have 3M VPs. Brady will never have the statistics -- have ever close. Manning might. And many might have the Super Bowls and the statistics bright he's gonna have. The Super Bowls. -- gonna have the Iron Man record not gonna have the attempts to touchdowns completions. That we've seen when Brett fought and -- in one respect at all it was buried forty days.

It's protest -- that I'm. However now I'm trying to think I'm maybe I missed. And I'm not -- sarcastic here I obviously missed. And MVP from Favre body yet to hit three partners -- really paying. -- Are probably missed one. I know a guy like he has attacked -- are made that eighties all over so well because site. He's all over that so like I probably shouldn't question his is his Favre dossier. Got the whole thing. Warren time of birth.

Look ironically. The Green Bay Packers that it to record job. Against the best running back in football Adrian Peterson 25 -- 55 yards. Ironically Brett Favre had to be really good to win this game we've been giving him credit for being a game manager up until this point. They needed alt 271. Yards in all three passing touchdowns to beat the Green Bay Packers last night Brett Brett did win.

won that you want dale a White House is this pretty amazing. 133. Years in a -- I 95 through 97 it was MVP. Long time ago. My money was on this guy have a solid information tattooed right there on the YZAI. He'd he does the happy obviously does. Well obligate you know debt that Tom Brady Brett Favre Joe Montana conversation that's kind of ridiculous. He left out some guys when you talk about historically. Guys that that can be compared to Brett Favre he didn't mention. It Terry Bradshaw. Won four Super Bowl titles and probably has. As some of the well you didn't have it look nobody's gonna have the numbers of Favre. As the guy is. The guy is a warrior when it comes to playing in game deep place absolutely I mean you have viewed their defensive linemen and -- linemen. With the can with consecutive games streak -- consecutive game streaks you never see running back through those with those types of streets never see receivers. Or quarterbacks. So I'll give him credit for being durable but we talk about all time quarterbacks. Guys you wanna go to in a really big game. He's in the conversation. But this is not like he's far away. Better than some other guys and big government I would take I got a big game to win sure would take Joe Montana. In his prime over Brett Favre in this part. Or take Tom Brady I take Peyton Manning.

Over far yeah I would -- All of those guys you just mentioned won't cost your team again they met they might not when your team game. But I don't -- probably well but they're probably but I don't believe any of them will ever cost your team game the way I've seen Brett -- cost his team playoff games. And another named Leo -- JJ object -- it wasn't a particularly bring up so that JT obviously wants to just ignore. You know five interception game season and you know costly. Interceptions at the exact wrong moments of playoff games he wants to just pretend none of that up ever.

You know I'll I'll give you credit last night he'd look like a really I'm really really good quarterback and and almost. Almost made me embarrassed as fade to think of some of the things. We set about last year when he kind of got as an excuse me Pro Bowl invitation as a member of the jets he was not a deal was not a good quarterback last year. Especially down the stretch once given the team needed him he was back. But last night. -- You you can't find five quarterbacks in football. -- made some of the throws he made last night he was great.

He had a great game and and I mean let's also be honest game was probably one because of an unbelievable defense. And and the IL that's what you look at 23 points given up you say well how good were they were great. Jared Allen had what four and half I think one half of the eight I mean I can block them. Indeed it was just like men against boys out of that number seventy the left tackle but there. Who just he he looks he. He looked like Reggie White in the Super Bowl look like that kind of mismatch. Member who was at Reggie school.

Explaining how he -- his. In a disparaging way and and I -- max lane so do you remember what that game was like when the game when it was time for for the Packers in -- and Reggie right take over. When -- read it max -- and the game was over.

And that's what Jared Allen looked like last night I mean they had no chance they couldn't stop them they couldn't block on. The vikings have got a spectacular defense how about this you've got -- Adrian Peterson who's the best running back on the planet. And all by the way the last two years your defense has been the hardest to run against in the national foot.

All. They got a great runner and then if if the other team has a great runner well he's not gonna do much you cannot give you gotta stop yeah. Now it's all been missing all this time as a quarterback it'd be it'd be interesting to see what happens. With this Williams wall do you think this case is over you think they're they're off the hook and they they won't be suspect.

Yeah -- I thought -- I think that the the Minnesota alleges that -- system the Minnesota legislature gave them their get out of jail free card. I will give the commissioner I'll I'll give Roger Goodell credit. He knew we got beat by the Minnesota system so he didn't think it was fair to suspend the guys in New Orleans. Who were guilty of the exact same infraction but the which -- in Louisiana if that's the legislature they've got some other name. They weren't smart enough time to go around it the way the Minnesota legislature did so he said I can't -- wells you know punish those guys -- exact same thing deceased organ.

Because that's the only reason that that's the only thing Beckett Beckett probably slowed down take out both of those Williams's in the middle of that line than anybody can run on. I mean that that's the key you got you got an elite pass rusher. In Jared Allen who who is great great pass rusher and that's it. And he's wouldn't stop the run so a lot got -- Williams. -- need to stop the run got two guys who can do that need to rush to pass rush the passer. Got a great guy who can do that.

Another football -- and and I I've always given the big -- credit in this regard I do think that they have a unique relationship with bill ballot check. I think he's comfortable with them and I think he does. Occasionally give them stuff he doesn't give the media award when they're standing their front of the podium. I was surprised that he admitted yesterday today and the Junior Seau has indeed had a physical. Just because that's not usually the way he plays the game.

I -- is that how he usually does things but. What what would it look like if he tells them on Monday. I can't talk about that and then on. Tuesday at let's -- the ticket guess. 12:31. O'clock. We get we get a nice little email from Stacey James. A New England Patriots have signed LB -- out who is now 49 years old.

By junior's own admission. And and I don't know how much he was joking how much he was telling the truth he said he had about six games. And a site laughed before I didn't think it would be you know games. Five through eleven so so I'm wondering what what what is involved here from ballot checks point of view. Is he almost. Looking for more of a leader -- usable though of a player you look at this the -- they've gotten younger they've gotten faster. You see some guys -- were making great strides ball boy the leadership void from a year -- go to this year may be he's decided you know we we gotta have somebody in there.

Let's see I don't know about that deal because if if this defense this young deepened that we talked about. Has exceeded expectations. And we think they have right. Absolute exceeded expectations are for a may be ultra for some -- out. Of people probably thought volumes and doing much better to be uploaded to variable expenses the last two Rex. So this deepens as it has exceeded expectations they've made some plays they've been tested. He even got guys like Darius Butler tested at the end of that game Brandon Meriweather has been tested. The defensive line has been tested without reducing more. And when you perform then I think leadership. Develops from that at once you go through something together people have doubted you. You're getting a chance to perform. Unlike before or -- getting a chance to beyond. On the main stage in the spotlight -- the main stage before but. You're one of the hips right on your collects. Your your front your front of the stage. You don't need somebody -- annually juniors say are coming and tell you how to lead because you're gonna find out how to do that yourself.

Well and and I don't even Hamachi he has to say necessarily. Although listening to Ty Warren yesterday. He can talk a buzzard off of a -- wagon -- how many he's got the idea I want domain phrases that it Zack and man I actually cleaned it up slightly halfway through because -- I got your guy yeah I got zero I don't like Mario -- very. -- little light I can actually say -- But I'm trying to figure out what -- lookin' for. He is a forty year old linebacker now he may be a freak and all indications are he is a physical freak he's an unbelievable shape. You know we get trampled by -- polling gets up smile and wave and all that stuff. But but the yield cents. Such a great need of a linebacker position. You've got to bring this guy in four juniors say album football player of the linebacker that's I don't sense. Especially if we're right in in our theory year. We think Jerod Mayo could be back this weekend.

To be back next weekend if not next weekend. The game after definite right right I was with as doubtful this week he was out there a practice yet he was out there on the field. May it may be Belichick wants to take mailed to an unbelievable level -- there talent wise he's already there work ethic wise leadership lies. In his second year of the guys -- captain. But maybe it's it's like the transfer one hall of Famer. To another when he thinks maybe that -- Bill Belichick thinks this guy could be. One of the all time great well I don't mind that line back yet and why not work with -- work with juniors -- now. -- I'll play a little bit. And mail get the opportunity to observe. How this guy brings people together.

I I don't believe Bill Belichick whenever bringing -- in in a ceremonial position. If junior -- out here it's because Bill Belichick thinks he complacent football. But I do think it'll be in a in a more limited basis now we were joking yes not even joking you know ten plays a game. Fifteen snaps a game that's sort of thing. In debt they will not be bringing junior say Alan at this age in this stage of his of its football life. To be the regular guy at linebacker. You know three downs out of four they'd I just can't Americana here. We'll take -- very quick break ninety seconds only in fact and what -- baseball into our discussion mixes well Ken Rosenthal from fox sports will join us at twelve vote to. And I will talk to of the boomer David Wells will join us at 102 part of the TBS studio crew. It's dale and -- Sports Radio WE yeah.
