Vikings coach Brad Childress said Monday that it will be business as usual around Winter Park this week. Childress and his staff no doubt will try and keep things as normal as possible, but his players didn't hide their excitement for their Monday Night game against the Packers.

"I heard they were thinking about moving, what's the Monday night show, Dancing with the Stars?" cornerback Antoine Winfield said. "I think they're trying to postpone that or move that back because they're scared of their ratings falling." Rather than give rehearsed answers about this being just another game, Winfield and his teammates were pretty candid in what they think this week will be like as they prepare to take on their border rivals in Brett Favre's first meeting against his former team. "It's like in high school when you're playing a cross-town rival," offensive guard Anthony Herrera said. "It's for pride. For the NFC North, for pride. We've just got to go out there and battle. Green Bay is going to be ready for us. They're going to take this personal and we're going to take this personal." "This is probably the most anticipated game I think for a regular season game that I've ever been a part of," linebacker Ben Leber said. "Once this game starts, it's all about business," Winfield said. "But right now, it's the buildup. The media, Brett coming from Green Bay, and all the years he played there. That's what all the hype is going to be about." Herrera called the hype "ridiculous" but it was obvious that he enjoys it. "I love it," he said. "We're 3-0 and shooting for 4-0. We've got Brett. They wanted ... they had him, let him go. It's personal for Brett, it's personal for us. They're going to come after him. It's going to be a battle." Vikings players are limited to only six tickets each. That left players scrambling to find more for family and friends. "Of course everybody wants to come to this game," wide receiver Sidney Rice said. "We're limited to six tickets unless you find somebody on the team who's willing to give you some of theirs, which is not going to happen for this game. ... This is a game that everybody in the family wants to go to. They've had it circled on their calendar just like everybody else has." In the spotlight Greg Lewis' life has been a little crazy since his last-second TD catch on Sunday. Lewis has done a number of national interviews and said he has been bombarded with text messages and phone calls. Asked how many times he's seen the replay of his remarkable catch, Lewis said: "Probably about 40, 50 times. Actually I was just sitting there watching TV pretty much yesterday and the day before." Lewis has handled the attention with a sense of humor. He joked that, as a Chicago native and Bears fan, he hated Favre growing up. He obviously has a different opinion of him now that they're teammates. "He's pretty funny," Lewis said. "He's almost as funny as me. He tries to joke a lot, and he just loves playing football. He's an all around player. He's just not going to sit back and throw passes. He's going to get dirty with all the other guys out there and try to make something happen." Lewis also shared the story of running into Favre and his family at breakfast Monday morning. "I usually go eat breakfast with my wife and my kids and this time I just went to pick it up and the guy at the counter said, 'Hey your buddy's around the corner,'" Lewis said. "And I went to see and it was Brett with his family having breakfast. It was pretty cool."
