Leroy Butler on Packers playoff choke, creating the Lambeau Leap, defending Randy Moss, Brett Favre joining Vikings and potentially joining Pro Football Hall of Fame

55 minutes

Patrick Peterson and Bryant McFadden are joined by a legend from the NFC North, former Packers safety Leroy Butler. We eventually dive into his career but first focus on Green Bay being eliminated from the postseason, what the future holds for Aaron Rodgers and why the organization doesn't have more Super Bowls over the past 30 years. Then, it's time to follow Leroy's journey to the NFL all the way to being a finalist for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Butler went from playing for a Florida high school coaching legend in Corky Rodgers to playing for a Florida college coaching legend in Bobby Bowden. He shares words of wisdom from Deion Sanders at Florida State and recalls the epic "Puntrooskie" play he was a part of against Clemson in 1988. Our guest is a legend in his own right but also created the epic Packers tradition known as the Lambeau Leap. What inspired it and why did it stick? The man that often goes by "Leap" now remembered Green Bay's incredible 1996 season capped by a Super Bowl and how essential the team camaraderie was for that group. Brett Favre and Reggie White changed the tone of that team as Leroy labels Reggie as the best defensive player ever! We also get to hear his thoughts on the rival Vikings including what it was like to match up with Randy Moss and his feelings when Brett Favre joined Minnesota. Butler is up for the Hall of Fame and feels like he has a decent shot to get in. Will he get the call this year? Finally, Superlatives.
