st it's just an event a neat event really for the fans yeah and we were actually told this is not a softball game this is a show these Legends are here to put on a show for all the fans out here lots of Cheers lots of sports fans that are that are out here right now all right well earlier I spoke with one of the legends George Teague one of the former Packers who is here to play softball tonight so I asked him about that Bear Packer rivalry and some other things and what it was like to suit up f
or the Packers let's go to that being a Green Bay Packer was awesome and you mentioned Alabama though but it's like being in a college town with the Green Bay Packer fans you know the Traditions that they have the stadium is always full loud energetic and always supportive so my time with the Green Bay Packers was very very good now in the softball game as far as I know there's one Chicago Bear Mike Singletary he wasn't too shabby and quite a few of you Packers like four or five six maybe of you
guys so how's that going to work out with the Bear Packer rivalry with you guys out there with Mike Singletary well um I happen to know Mike Singletary and I think he knows that you know there's always a rivalry between the two teams and I think the Packers are going to Prevail once again doesn't matter what anybody it's the way it is so yeah I think it is the official count I think is four former Packers who are here and the one Chicago Bear Mike Singletary but Singletary I think one one singl
e Terry can handle a bunch of Packers you would think right yeah yeah yeah and we've actually uh talked to a few of those Packers and they like the Rivalry right and they're and they're excited about it and I think this is going to be a lot of fun we actually too have some of our news crew out here that's going to be a part of these lineups uh they got a few cheers there I heard one for Joy Moreno I think a lot of people are excited to see him out here so yeah just trying to have a lot of fun um
