Anyone know who the secret guest speaker was?

[Forget Favre]

(Apologies if this has already been posted elsewhere or if it's another thread.)

Mike brought in a secret special guest speaker to talk to the team before the big game. I guess to motivate them.

Someone on here guessed it could be Bart Starr, which I think is a good guess.

But does anyone know for sure who it was?
Any news about it yet?
Thanx.

Yea the same motivational speaker who spoke to them before the Patriots game.

Edit: This guy: Dr. Kevin Elko

Bet Wisconsinite "Matt Foley" was watching and cheering for Green Bay. Can you hook up a tv in a van down by the river?

(RIP, Chris.)

He WAS?? Even though he was from Madison - is that right? I suppose I could go to Google about that last part, but wow. I thought he was a Packer fan.

Okay, so he WAS a Packer fan?

I'm getting whiplash. Think I'll just Google and stop bugging you guys for info.

He was HUGEEEEEEEEE Packer fan.

The Bears SNL skits he did were purely to make fun of Bears fans. Bears fans don't even realize this.

But I could swear that I read in his biography that he was a big bears fan growing up. I see his brother on the golf course during the summer so I can ask him.

No need to ask him.. I guarantee you he was a Packer fan.. I actually thought this was universally known :/ He was on Letterman giving him Packers gear talking about the Packers.. can't find the video though.. It's on youtube.. somewhere..

It's always funny how these threads start out on one thing but then turn into another.

And this one is my fault for posting the You Tube of Chris Farley!

Anyway, Chris is from Madison and now he is resting in a cemetery here.
I visited and took pics if anyone is interested I could try posting them here or in the Atrium.
