I have tears in my eyes from laughing so hard at this. After the first two lines I was like "he has to be drunk" then he confirmed it. It's okay, we won't judge you! Drunk rants are the best rants!

Oh come on, it's not like a Packer fan killed his dog or something.

And you wonder why I have little love loss for the Favre "apologist" sector of Packer nation. Props to Aaron for putting up with all that BS and still wanting to be in Green Bay. Makes me damn proud he is our QB!

There were plenty of people booing Rodgers the first few games.



Who said anything about cowering down? Who said anything about taking responsibility for what those assholes did? What the hell does this statement even mean?

All I said is that this situation showed that Packers fans aren't better than anyone else. We're all human and we're all prone to demonstrating the darker sides of the pack mentality, whether we want to admit it or not. Whether you want to call it humbling oneself or not, I think having a realistic perspective on human nature and one's own humanity is healthy.

It's convenient for people to say now, in retrospect, that it was only a tiny minority of fans who were angry about the Favre situation, but based on what I saw on TV and read online, I don't personally believe that. I think the minority was much larger than people are willing to admit, now that they've been proven to be fools. It's pretty rare to find someone with the courage to confess they were wrong about the situation, though we've had a couple of brave souls on this site do so, and I respect them for it.

One thing that has obviously come out of this is unity. Unity of the fans reading this blog that weren't in the truck-keying, hate-mailing, wannabe-legbreaker category, and most importantly, unity of the team. You could hear Jennings and Grant and Woodson talking about this with passion, that it was their QB, their leader. This brought the team closer together, and you can bet your ass that if Rodgers would have handled it differently, the entire thing would have changed. It brought a massive amount of respect into the locker room.

All the BS that Aaron took is what really helped me rally behind him. I laugh for us who will remember this 15 years from now when all the same people will be booing Rodgers replacement. IDIOTS!

To some of us, being a Packers fan means something. If you don't get that, you don't get it.

I think Packers fans are like any other fans in the NFL. You have a group of hardcore fans (may be the Packers have a bigger group of these than other teams) but then you have a lot of idiot fans. I know we would all love to believe that Packers fans are "different" but we probably are not, its sad but true. I bet some of those fans that were boo'ing Favre in Lambeau last year were some of the same fans boo'ing Rodgers in 2008 - meaning they make no sense and just like to be drama.

Also this article confirms what I've said all along that Rodgers couldn't have handled the whole Favre situation any better. He's handled it with class and done everything right. Even after the losses last year, he was classy and didn't trash Favre. Great QB, even better character it seems.

Human nature doesn't change, RedSoxExcel. The very same people who were laying down palm branches before Jesus on Sunday morning to shouts of "Hosanna! Hosanna!" -- proclaiming him King of the Jews -- were screaming, "Crucify him! Crucify him!" and howling, "We have no king but Ceasar!" on Friday afternoon.
