Like many people, Aaron Rodgers is unsure about what reaction Brett Favre will get from Packers fans when he returns to Lambeau Field on Sunday.
Rodgers was interviewed this afternoon by Fox's Jay Glazer on "The After Party" on Foxsports.com.
"I know one thing for sure," Rodgers said. "(Packers fans) are going to cheer the Packers on very loudly. I'm not sure what reception they are going to give him. I'm sure it will be a mixed bag of emotions. But I know one thing. They will be cheering very loud for the green and gold."
Glazer joked that Rodgers should make an appearance at the Brett Favre Steakhouse on Sunday before the game. Glazer said he would pick up Rodgers' tab.
"Wow," Rodgers said. "Actually, I have been there I think twice in my life."
Glazer asked Rodgers if he planned to take in the "somewhat Super Bowl-like atmosphere" or "do whatever (he) can" to take the same approach in pre-game.
"I'm going to stay with my pre-game ritual," Rodgers said. "We went up to Minnesota and it was like a playoff atmosphere. The crowd was electric. They had everybody on the sideline. It was crowded. People were yelling at you, screaming at you. There was an electricity in the air, but that didn't change the way I warmed up or focused and prepared that week. I'm just going to do the exact same thing I did. Other than the eight sacks, I think it worked pretty well a couple of weeks ago. [Chuckles] Protection-wise I have to get the ball out of my hand a little quicker and protect (against) that crazy hillbilly off the left side."
Rodgers was referring to defensive end Jared Allen, whom Rodgers said he got to know a little bit in the off-season in Las Vegas.
