Well we're just one day away from the Vikings vs. Packers border battle game and fans are anxious for the Minnesota Vikings to get their first victory over the Packers with Brad Childress as head couch.

The usual excitement and friendly banter about the game turned to disgust this week when Michael Montgomery said in a press conference at Lambeau Field that he fully intended to show Gus Ferotte the same "love" he had shown Kyle Orton earlier this season at Soldier Field.

Montgomery, referring to an incident that occurred in week eight in a game against the Chicago Bears, was fined for inappropriate touching to the swimsuit area by commissioner Roger Goodell. Montogomery said he was excited about "getting to" Ferotte, and that he would be charging Ferotte like an angry proposition 8 protester. Upon further questioning he went on to say that he wasn't concerned about being fined again by the league and that he would seek to "violate" anyone that got in his way on Sunday.

Coach Mike McCarthy said when asked about the comments, "Montgomery is a passionate player that will do what ever it takes to win even if it means violating league rules and opposing players privates."

Later that same day, Ferotte was asked if he had heard about the comments Montgomery had made. He paused, his face became pale and then he said " I'm feeling good about our chances on Sunday and I'm going to do everything I can to get Tarvarias ready for the game," as he quickly stepped away from reporters. Sources later said that Ferotte approached coach Childress shortly after the interview and complained of back spasms and wanted to be taken out of the line up.
