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.

I personally hope the Packer fans don't boo Favre when announced.. give him is proper due.

Then give him the business.

On Allen.. he can't be as "goofy" as he makes himself out to be.. personally I hope Lang drives his ass to the ground early in a running play.. run right at that clown.

Why would he be announced? The other team is not announced, at least, not that I can recall. Either way, he wears purple, he deserves NO cheering, none, nothing once so ever. He was cheered for 16 years. What has he done in the last year plus for the Packers for fans to cheer him? Nothing. He joined the enemy. While with them purple's of Minnesota he deserves absolutely no cheers from Packers fans.

I don't know if I'd boo or be silent. I've never been one to boo so I don't think I could bring myself to boo. I'd probably just pretend he doesn't exist for those four quarters. And continue to refer to him as Vikings QB so I can keep my blinders on the fact that one of my idols actually joined the enemy.

I think what some may not realize, is the visiting teams' players do not get announced individually. We are not going to hear, "And the starting quarterback for the Vikings, Brett Favre."

They will announce all the starters for either the offense or defense of the Packers; then the Vikings will run out of the North endzone and be announced as a team.

I didn't say cheer.. just not booing him. No the don't announce them normally, but I think the stadium folks will do something.

We shall see...

I took "his proper due" as cheering.

If the house announcers do anything special for him, it's a downright shame if my opinion is wondered upon.

Nothing special should be done for him, nothing. No special treatment of any kind. Treat him for exactly who he is, the opposing teams QB. Nothing more, nothing less. I don't think we did anything for Tim Harris, Edgar Bennett, Darren Sharper, Ryan Longwell or anyone else who came back, why do something now?

Vikings QB had a plethora of special treatment while in GB. Once retired, then he can have those special treatments from Packers fans again.

Well, the more important question is, do we cheer or boo Darren Sharper when we face him in the Championship Game?

Silence is the best, most effective remedy. When he finally does retire, then I think people should talk about it, right now, he is Vike QueBee, just another visitor.

There is a lot more riding on this game for us than Minnesota, total focus and a commitment to winning is the only way we should prepare. The return of one of our sons should be treated with indifference, perhaps even mild neglect, no matter how naughty he has been.
