Regarding Dennis Green's derogatory remarks of Lambeau Field, you can take some consolation in the fact that today on the radio they were talking about the Titans' field being in worse condition than any other NFL team except Philadelphia's. Green Bay didn't come up in the conversation.

Of course, I don't know if Green was talking about the condition of the field or the whole stadium and atmosphere. What do you think?

He was not talking about the condition of the field, which is excellent. He was trashing the stadium itself.

You see, he is used to playing football games inside a climate controlled building, with a carpeted field and speakers blaring at the visiting team's bench to up the "noise factor".

The Packers, on the other hand, play football the way it was intended to be played, on grass, out in the open air, and the only "noise factor" to contended with is the screaming fans, whose sense of loyalty and dedication to their team Mr. Green can only dream of.

I remember watching/attending Viking games as a kid. As the game was winding down inevitably many people would start walking out, esp. if the Vikes were losing. My brother would scream "Spectators! Spectators!" at them..........see, REAL FANS stay until the end, no matter what.

The Packers have fans.

The Vikings have spectators.
