Welcome Back, GotterWhat To Do?By Brian Gotter (WTMJ)Traitor Boy returns to Lambeau Field on Sunday. There are many opinions on how fans should respond to their once beloved Favre. He should be used to boos...he got that a lot in the early days of his career...even the Super Bowl years as the gun slinger was all over the place. Some believe we should cheer the loudest we have ever cheered for him as he walks on the field, (kill him with kindness) but once the game begins, rip into him the entire game. Not sure I can cheer for him. Loved him for years and am appreciative for all he did, but that was yesterday. He decided to join the enemy. When he put on the horns and purple, he was done with me...don't care who you are. He is not one of us anymore. I love my aunt Bonnie's idea. When he walks out onto the field, the entire stadium turns their back to him and is dead silent...classy and powerful statement. Here is what LeRoy Butler had to say in a recent interview: Q. What do you think the fan reaction to Brett Favre should be at Lambeau Field this Sunday and what do you think it actually will be? A. Per Leroy Butler: "The reaction should be 100% about Aaron Rodgers. When Aaron Rodgers comes out there you should give Aaron Rodgers a standing ovation because he's our guy for the next 10 years. When Brett comes out you do like any other opposing quarterback, you boo him. If you don't want to boo him, don't say anything. But if you're going to stand up wearing Packer clothing or a Packer uniform and cheer when Brett Favre comes out, you should bring a bag and put it over your head. You don't cheer for somebody to beat your team, I don't care who it is. You don't cheer for another quarterback. If you want to cheer Brett, just bring a bag, put it over your head and you can cheer, and no one will hear you and that's fine. This is Aaron Rodgers' show. Don't let somebody come into your backyard and cheer against you. You don't cheer for another guy to beat your team. I hope I'm crystal clear with these fans who say they love to see Brett Favre. Well, Brett Favre is gone. It's Aaron Rodgers' show. He's the No. 1-rated quarterback in the NFC, including Brett Favre. I'm happy we'll be good for the next 10 years. I hope they'll cheer Aaron and boo Brett. If they don't want to boo him, that's their right. But any other quarterback they'd boo, what makes him so special? I mean, wait until he has his number retired, you can cheer him then. You can applaud him all you want. You can't do that the day of the game, and want your team to win. That's standing on the fence. You're either a Packer fan or a Brett fan. If you're a Brett fan, go buy some purple and wear purple. I have a strong feeling on this, this is my team. I played 12 years for this team. Anybody who comes into that stadium, I want them to lose. If it were me coming back, I wouldn't expect anyone to cheer for me when I'm going to destroy your team. Of course not." - Could not have said it any better. By the way....Rodgers is the NFC PLayer of the Month and is the second rated quarterback in the NFL...Manning is #1, not Favre...sorry. |
