. >> cris: for aaron rodgers, all of the comparisons to brett favre, he will never get away from them. he knitted that. but you have to remember that aaron rodgers has already had as many losing seasons as brett favre had in his career here in green bay. you would have to -- it's not about numbers, it's not about statistics. it's about winning games and now it is on him to win this one. >> al: they start from the 28. keep it on the ground. grant. a gain of six for ryan grant. second down and four. >> cris: i do like the call there. it was one that we're going to play this one all the way out, all our time-outs. >> al: that will be a first down as the pass is caught and that is greg jennings. it really didn't matter if he got out or stayed in because the clock is going to stop at the two-minute warning. so two minutes to play. first down for the green bay packers. chicago 15, green bay 13. . >> al: wendy's postgame show to follow. andrea will have an interview and toning tony dungy and rodney harrison in the studio in new york and bob costas with us here and we will wrap it up from gre

so brett favre changing his tune? he doesn't feel 100%. brett favre changing his tune?know you can't control maybe physically how you are because you're 39 years old playing the game, but if you weren't 100% mentally in the game, why would you come back? >> which is the reason i said he should retire in the first place. >>> at the u.s. open, roddick won in the third round. before going to the big apple, he gave you a tour on this week's road warriors. >> game, set, match on this week's "road warriors." >> i'm andy roddick. i was on the road probably nine months a year. in my line of work, you're going to miss the people you're close to. a lot of it revolves just around communicating. i like to know what's going on at home with my friends. everything changes, but you try to kind of have your own little routine for each play. you have kind of a different routine of two or three restaurants you're comfortable with. if you do something stupid, you get signed, and at the end of the year, you kind of put that towards going out. the one where i was a little groggy when i woke

we're bias. >> brett favre has been getting a lot of flak for flip-flopping.y was the top selling one in nfl's website on merchandising website for the whole summer. he has the most jerseys sold of anyone in nfl history combined with time with packers and jets and lastly the season finale of "shaq versus shaq" swimming with the great michael phelps. there he is. now, three different races. shaq got a head start in every one. like a big head start. >> there's a handicapped for you whatever sport he's doing. >> now phelps won only two of the three. shaq won. phelps was mostly the winner. shaq had to put on the pink. >> he's too funny. my husband loved it. >> it was a good show. >> thank you. >>> let's talk about our self-esteem today. my new book is officially out in stores called "morning sunshine." how do you inspire self-confidence in other people? go to cnn.com/robin. click on that e-mail link. it's inside the contest box. send your answer. i love an i-report too. we'll announce today's winner during the 9:00 a.m. eastern hour. you'll get a free autographed

brett favre obviously still loves the game, but look at this. whoo, get up! you like that? on in. i'll play without my helmet. >> that's why they call him the cashier, why? >> make you pay. >> what would it have been to have a running back like that? >> you would hurt your knees if you're the defender trying to tackle him. really nice to have him as a running back. take a lot of pressure off you. >> anthony henry, no. let's try again. there's anthony henry again. he's coming. he's coming. i'm going to get him. i got him. no. no. adrian only had 15 carries, 92 yards, but they were important. 27 points ran off at one point by the vikings. they win 27-13. it's here. the lions are now the fourth team in nfl history to lose at least 19 straight regular season games, which matches the second longest losing streak in nfl history. in order to avoid joining the buccaneers as the only franchise to lose 20 straight, detroit is going to have to beat the redskins on sunday. moment of silence. >> i need to cry. >> moment of silence. respect the silence. move on. cardinals-jagua cardinals

i want to talk about brett favre. how is he going to do with the vikings?p, considering how awful he's been, all the attention grabbing that he's engaged in, when you consider the fact that over the last five games of the 2008 season, this man threw two touchdowns, nine interceptions, was absolutely abysmal. and to still garner the attention that he's garnered and to ultimately end up landing with a team, the quality of a minnesota vikings where you could potentially end up being in the super bowl, it's quite frankly nauseating to me personally. i'm just going to throw it out there to you. i'm not rooting for him, but minnesota is a team to be reckoned with, especially with adrian peterson. keep your eyes on them and the packers as well. >> how different will this season be for the viewers and fans with john madden not in the booth? >> it's going to be tough, because he's an institution. when you talk about "monday night football" or ""sunday night football"" on nbc, you expect to hear his voice. he was pragmatic, to the point, talked to the average america

. >>> at almost 40 years young, brett favre led his team to a victory. shut my mouth. >> me too, robin. he's still got it. this is why the vikings brought him in to do this and this is what he does. he does his magic, you have to see the play. with 12 seconds left, they are down 4. favre rolls to the right and heeds on a prayer in the end zone and catch and touchdown. with two seconds left, greg lewis makes the stunning catch. that is his first catch ever in a vikings uniform. so minnesota wins there in first place in their division at 3-0. they are celebrating up there. and we'll have more sports in about ten minutes. >>> thank you. new this morning, more than half a million kids in the united states have dangerous reactions to common drugs like penicillin every year. a study in pediatrics says children under the age of 5 are affected most, including rashes and stomach aches, but five% were hospital sized. parents should pay close attention. >>> half of the people would support taxing the incomes of the country wealthiest millionaires by 50% or more. th

brett favre actually threw for more yards than peterson ran for.one, minnesota wins it. we all know tampa bay lost 26 in order to start their career, if you will. but now 19 losses in a row tie a chicago cardinals squad in the 1940's and an early 1960's oakland raiders squad as second most. they used to beat minnesota all the time. they just can't win. >>> all right. chicago and pittsburgh. these two teams scream defense. low-scoring game. jay cultler to johnny knox. he finds gold for a touchdown. we're tied at 14-14. jeff reed missed two makeable field goals. 43-yarder. no. now robby again. so fort knox is gold and robby is solid gold. the bears win it 17-14. after a heartbreaking loss. one of the stories of the day, the teams that lost the heartbreakers last week by and large won this week. >> it means a lot. means a lot to this team. we've had a lot of pressure and expectations on us since i got here and since orlando got here and since the defense has stepped it up. it's good to get this one off our backs an move on. we went to green bay with t

. >>> brett favre set a record for durability when favre and the vikings took the field against detroitit was his 271st consecutive regular season game. he has not missed a game since 1992. that is amazing, considering how often people get hurt in this game. vikings handed detroit their 19th straight loss, by the way. >>> speaking of old guys, 50-year-old mark martin won in style. first problems in the pits. curt busch hits david reagan, who spins out. after another spinout with smoke on the course, martin edges juan pablo montoya for his fifth win of the year. 50 years old, he leads the points standings. >> wow, he's having an awesome year. >> fantastic year, robin. >> good for him. >>> million dollar hole in one, literally. celebrity golf tournament in utah, million bucks to anyone who hits a hole in one. it's 50 yards out. you can just see the ball at the bottom of your screen slowly roll into the hole. watch the reaction from everybody. that's $1 million, folks! >> wow! >> that's a look at sports. >> storming the field! >> i love it. >> we have video you need to see. suspect, but th
