"Anyone who is a Vikings fan and feels outnumbered in Titletown should definitely come see us, and we'll all be outsiders together," he said. The showdown will feature music by the Green Bay Backers, $1.01 breakfast burgers to benefit Cerebral Palsy and whacky Packers vehicles. KDWB and WIXX plan to bet on the game.

Details were still being negotiated earlier this week, but Ryan did mention something about Murphy, underwear and Lambeau Field.
