It's professonal sports, boo's happen. Is he fragile or something? If he thinks that's bad he should see how some "real fans" act after you play a decade and a half and start 5 zillion games in a row then decide to retire and come back. He hasn't seen "classy" like that.

Sure boos happen and there's no crying in football. But to stalk a guy and curse him out practically face to face before he has even started a game - through no fault of his own? Pretty low.

Thata right Edder.......what did Rodgers do wrong? He was given duties to do, which are in his job description, and he's doing them to the best of his ability. I fail to see any wrong in that. He has a PAID job to do, whether Brett Favre is here or not.
To stalk him, when he's 100% innocent, shows no class......OR brains.
If a person is that ticked off, go and talk to TT. But show some class for crying out loud. I bet if you took cuss words out of the guys vocubulary, he wouldn't be able to put a sentence together.

It would seem while some replies in this thread go against the grain, most have been in support of Arod and co. My take on it?

One thing I hope to find in sports, particularly in the teams I follow, is a higher sense of character or morals. Some would argue that they look at wins and losses, pehaps a superbowl to define a teams success, and while that is true, I measure my teams by my own parameters, as most do.

The thing I love about the packers, for several years now, is that agree or disagree with the decisions made by management, we typically have a bunch of guys on our roster that are "easy" to root for. High moral code, great character, and typically not alot of law breakers on the team.

I say that recognizing that you could find specific examples, but in general I believe I'm right.

That being said, I challenge those who oppose the way the Favre situation has been handled to look at the character of Aaron Rodgers, and tell me how he could have handled this situation any better. Most quarterbacks would have asked for a trade / holdout / ask for a release, or any other number of negative acts. All of that would probably have happened prior to this situation even comming to fruition.

But no, Arod said all the right things, tried to befriend Favre, and tried to ain acceptance from a fan base that wanted nothing to do with him. Then when this situation arises, still all positives. When an open competition was "granted" after months of telling Arod here would be none, still nothing negative.

My point is, that although he may never be as good as Favre, and he may make us wish we still had the ol gunsinger around, this is the wrong man to be mad at. If you wish to boo his bad play, thats up to you, but if you wish to wash this Favre anger away in a much more productive manner, I suggest you hop on board, because all Aaron Roders has done so far, is give us reason to cheer.

Little kids learn what they are taught..........if their parents act that way, they will act that way.
Unfortunatly there are jerk fans of ALL teams.
Class is LEARNED. So is being an idiot.

Wait a sec here. Read what he actually said. Rodgers commented that it's not about the boos. That doesn't get to him and nor should it, although I don't think you boo the guy unless he plays bad.

What he stated is it's the fans that shout F-U to him and the little kids that swear at him. You can't honestly say that you condone that or want that to be apart of that. If so then once again just another reason for people who are not Packer fans to take hits at us.

The only thing I can say about those types is that fans is not the word I would use to describe them.

Low lifes, waste of skin....etc. comes to mind.

Sad. But it's not just little kids doing it. It's adults as well, and that's whats really sad. Real mature, ya know? Don't they have anything better to do? There are many more important things to get upset and passionate about.

Fo shizzle. Like...

Never mind. Don't want to get political. :lol:

Some people need to get a life. Brett Favre is my favorite player ever but right now, Aaron Rodgers is the starting QB for the Packers and I hope he throws 51 TDs this year.

Fact is......whoever replaced Favre was gonna have a tough time. It wouldn't have been so bad had Favre STAYED retired. Then at least the "haters" wouldn't see Rodgers as "stealing" Brett's job away from him. But as was stated before........Rodgers has done NOTHING wrong. He's doing what his boss has told him to do.....which is his paid JOB.
How ANYONE can boo or cuss him for that, is beyond me. That show NO class, NO upbringing. If you want to boo him for how he produces on the field, thats fine. But when the guy has done NOTHING wrong.....that just proves that there are real idiots that CALL themselves Packer fans.

beast (5h) : Thanks dfosterf, I'm still kicking myself for last week, as I forgot to change to pick Vikings and Lions... after putting in a holding spot.
Zero2Cool (6h) : First alternate: Elgton Jenkins Other alternates: Jordan Love, Kenny Clark, Keisean Nixon, Tucker Kraft, Josh Myers, Jaire Alexander
Zero2Cool (6h) : Pro Bowl still a thing? Guess Packers have three. Jacobs, Gary, McKinney.
dfosterf (6h) : It's a mine field with all the players sitting, etc
dfosterf (6h) : There was quite a bit of "chalk" matchups this year it seemed, but not this week coming up
Zero2Cool (7h) : Or we got better and by we I mean everyone except me
Zero2Cool (7h) : We have about six that by percent would have won nearly any season. I guess 2024 was predictable 🤷
Zero2Cool (7h) : You can check previous seasons. I quick did it and don't think anyone hit 70% before
dfosterf (7h) : Hats off to the Beast
dfosterf (7h) : I'm at 71.76% in pick 'em. 2nd place. Beast is at a flat 75% 9 games ahead. That 75% has got to be unprecedented this late in the season
beast (7h) : I don't care deeply, just want some good entertaining games
Zero2Cool (7h) : BTW, not serious.
Zero2Cool (8h) : You don't care about it either!!!!
Zero2Cool (8h) : NIL and Portal killed college, no one cares about it.
Mucky Tundra (12h) : outside of Texas-Arizona St, it's been a snoozefest
beast (17h) : I expect Georgia will change that tomorrow, but we'll have to wait and see. If they do, then only Big 10 and SEC are left.
beast (17h) : So much for Conference Championship meaning something as 100% (so far) of the conference Champions lost their first playoff game.
Zero2Cool (1-Jan) : Jaire had surgery, season over.
Mucky Tundra (1-Jan) : I guess I need a new sig Pic. Boo
Mucky Tundra (1-Jan) : Eric Dickerson approves of this decision
beast (1-Jan) : Eagles are resting RB Saquon Barkley, so there is no chance he breaks the record despite being just 101 yards from it
Zero2Cool (1-Jan) : Patriots are waiving veteran pass rusher Yannick Ngakoue
beast (1-Jan) : Happy New Year's 🥳🎉
beast (31-Dec) : I want to them chant some songs for Daniel Whelan
beast (31-Dec) : Let's win one! Also, hopefully the Irish will stand with Daniel Whelan
Mucky Tundra (31-Dec) : After London and Brazil, I could go without an overseas game for a while
Zero2Cool (31-Dec) : Packers. Steelers. Ireland. 2025. Reports say.
Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Matt Lafleur on if Jaire will play again this season. "Yeah I don't know... he's been dealing with swelling."
Mucky Tundra (30-Dec) : After the way they played for most of the game yesterday, I don't see how you can sit anyone for the whole game
Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : I'd say play everyone. Going into playoffs at 7th seed on two game lose streak - yucky
Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Do the Packers have any best players?
beast (30-Dec) : Play or Rest*
beast (30-Dec) : Should the Packers play or free their best players vs the Bears?
Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Packers should be 3 - 2 in the Division. Bonkers being swept by both Lions and Vikings. yikes
go.pack.go. (30-Dec) : All crazy stuff…and good point beast
beast (30-Dec) : Packers should be 0-5 in the division, can't say I saw that coming, even 1-4
Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Sam Darnold 35 TD's ... another one
Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Baker Mayfield, 39 TD's ... can't say I saw that one
Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : No matter who is playing as 7th, I think we want them to win. Get rid of 2nd seed haha
go.pack.go. (30-Dec) : That would be dhazer who was rooting for Minnesota
beast (30-Dec) : Well, Commanders are currently the 6th seed and Packers the 7th
beast (30-Dec) : Who was it in Chat, that wanted the Vikings to win (because Lions fans upset them) because Packers could not lose the 6th seed?
beast (30-Dec) : If Falcons win, Packers stay as the 6th seed and Falcons lead the NFCS, if they lose, Commanders 6th and Bucs take NFCS lead
beast (30-Dec) : Win or Loss, the NFCS is going down to week 18
Mucky Tundra (30-Dec) : if the Falcons win, how does that affect the overall NFC playoff picture? Does it mean that the NFC South comes down to week 18?
beast (30-Dec) : If Commanders win, the Packers drop to the 7th seed
beast (29-Dec) : Taylor still at it!
