BRISTOL, Conn. -Brett Favre's matchup with his former team has attracted the largest cable television audience ever.
His Minnesota Vikings' 30-23 win over the Green Bay Packers on ESPN's "Monday Night Football" was watched by more than 21.8 million people. The previous record was more than 18.6 million viewers for last year's Monday night game between the Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys.
ESPN also said Tuesday that the game drew the highest rating in the network's 30-year history. The 15.3 rating beat the 14.4 for a Bears-Vikings game on Dec. 6, 1987, during ESPN's first season of televising NFL games.

You sound like you have a quite a few fears. Maybe, if you would have gone farther in school than 3rd grade, you'd have a more enlightend view of the world. Can't understand how you can actually see the game with that KKK sheet dragged over your obviously dumb head. Too bad you were born in a whorehouse where your trailer trash mom squirted you out of her rear end.

INGRAM: ESPN has nothing to do with the numbers reported in the article. SPEEDY: I'm sorry you're so threatened by Jews' intellect and industriousness. Instead of making nonsensical statements, you can relax and admit your feelings of inferiority. It's okay. :)

It always amazes me that when at team loses or gets beat the sore losers alway have to have a scape goat....officials, weather, bad coach, or just plain bad stadium......They lost....lost.....lost.....that means not win, not score enough points against the other team....and just because Brett happened to be the quarter back just makes it so much sweeter.......He now has bragging rights that no other player has.....he has beaten every team in the league.......top that one........GGGGOOOOOOO Brett.................
The person that made me love football.....!!!!!!!!!
