On a side note, when I have been at games and the Packers are doing well, sometimes I just sit and listen to the crowd when the Pack makes a big play. Try it some time! The power of 70 thousand-plus fans screaming is something to behold! When you just take it in without yelling yourself, you really FEEL what the power of it is!

The thing is it went on for minutes and minutes. Not steady for minutes on end but it just built and built as the vikings came to the line until the play was over and then it fell almost dead silent until they broke the huddle and it started all over again and this lasted for minutes. If I recall they ran 10 or 11 plays after the 2 minute warning and all were on our end of the field. It may not have set records but if not I can't imagine being in Seattle (or KC)

Each to their own.. but I cannot bring myself to boo an athlete or team. Not that it is right or wrong, just it is not for me.

I couldn't even boo Favre on his return... or Moss for mooning the crowd (albeit that had more to do with the fans at Lambeau lobbing insults at him prior to it).

I think it all depends... I used to think there wasn't a good reason for crowds to chant swear words. And then I think the replacements refs clearly got a call against the Ravens while in Baltimore and the crowd clearly changed my mind on that one as I was LOVING the "BULL S#!@" chant towards the replacement refs.

And hey the Packers players did seem to reponse to the the booing... sometimes the players need some energy from the crowd and booing is energy. And it's motivation for them to play better.

THAT BEING SAID... I've also been on the field in a blow out loss where one of the parents in the stands made a complete and total ass of himself and made us all feel horrible and unmotivated to be there (or anywhere else within yelling distance of him) and I think it was HORRIBLE etiquetter by him.

So I guess it all depends on how it's being done and why and how far they go with it.

So this is an older thread, but it got me thinking about it with Brett Favre coming back to town. I have kind of went back and forth on this subject. The more I think about it, I can't see myself booing anyone on "my" team. I would certainly boo a blown call I feel.

When do you think it's time to boo and do you have reasons behind it?

beast (4h) : Wow, 95% drop in investment revenue? Would be interesting to hear the details of why...

dfosterf (25-Jul) : It's my one day deal complaint dept. on shareholder meeting day

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Probably a homer access credential intimidation kinda thing

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Meathead "journalists" skip this, concentrating on operational revenue when convenient. They switch when net revenue is more favorable.

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Resulting in an actual drop of net revenue of 12.5%. She is from Minnesota. Just sayin'

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Any plans to hold Maureen Smith (CFO) accountable for a 95% drop in investment revenue?

Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : In your face, HBO!

Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : @ByRyanWood Mark Murphy: “A great source of pride of mine is that we were never on Hard Knocks.”

Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : *years

Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : @mattschneidman Mark Murphy says he anticipates “many Packers games” being played in Germany, Ireland and/or the U.K. over the next 5-10 yea

dfosterf (25-Jul) : *cafeteria* I have hit my head also, so I sympathize

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Possibly hit his head leaning into the glass protecting the food in the cafateria

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Maybe a low flying drone

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Did Savion Williams run into a goalpost or something?

Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : also, no bueno when a guy starts getting concussions right off the bat in his career

Zero2Cool (25-Jul) : Concussion is worse. Banks probably vet off day via back booboo claim

Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : @AndyHermanNFL Jordy Nelson out at camp today. No word if he’s in play for one of the two open roster spots ; )

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Is that better or worse than Banks bad back?

Zero2Cool (25-Jul) : Savion concussion ... not good.

packerfanoutwest (24-Jul) : Aaron Rodgers’s first pass of first team period was picked off

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : tbh I didn't hear of his passing

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Cosby Show. Malcom Jamal Warner I think is real name

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : I was thinking of Ozzy and Hulk

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : Who's Theo?

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : How is Theo alliteration?

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : Bad week for people whose names are alliterations

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Hulk Hogan gone too.

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Oh, it's toe injury

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Hope it's not serious. that would stink

dfosterf (24-Jul) : Sounds like an ankle not a knee for Fields

dfosterf (24-Jul) : Ya Flaccp on Browns

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Maybe Tyrod Taylor instead

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : He's on Browns, right?

dfosterf (24-Jul) : They would probably go with Flacco is my guess if Fields out

dfosterf (24-Jul) : Fleece 'em again!

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Malik Willis might be someone Jets come after

packerfanoutwest (24-Jul) : Packers introduce 1923-inspired classic uniform, leather-look helmet

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Both LB Quay Walker and Rookie DB Micah Robinson have passed their physicals

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Happy to see site feels more snappy snappy

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : No sir. I did not.

dfosterf (23-Jul) : You didn't get free childcare when you were at work?

wpr (23-Jul) : These guys make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. Pay for their own childcare.

dfosterf (23-Jul) : 2nd issue. Number 1 issue was no gameday childcare. 1 of 3 teams not providing it

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Suppose if locker room is main issue, we sitting pretty

wpr (23-Jul) : I thought so Mucky. In those useless player polls GB always rates high overall. Locker is a part of it.

Mucky Tundra (23-Jul) : Wasn't the locker room just updated like 6 or 7 years ago?

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : I have forum updated on different site. We'll see how this one goes before going to that

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Elgton Jenkins has a back injury, is expect to end contract dispute

wpr (23-Jul) : It's funny the PA complained about the locker room. It wasn't that long ago it was top shelf. Things change in a hurry.

wpr (23-Jul) : The site is much more better.
