Rodgers considers fans' reaction· Page 3

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.

lol crazy hillbilly

I wouldn't doubt it that Rodgers and Allen become 'friends' off the field.. Or at least aquaintences.

Rodgers comment on Allen was hilarious. Because it's damn true.

Thanks to TheViking88 for the sig!!

This is would be interesting.

During half time... While the fans are lined up for beer, all of the networks are in half time programs, the Packers, Vikings, and Brett are in the locker room.

Mark Murphy walk out to center field, grab a microphone and announces that the Packers have Retired Brett's Number 4.

Then drop the curtin revealing #4 on the ring of fame.

Then Mark just walks off the field.

Could you imagine the look on Brett's face when he came out from the locker room.? The press going nuts?

That would be great theatre.

Or that he announces that they have cut Kapinons, signed some other punter and that he will wear number 4. Don't know why he would do that at halftime, but hey.

+1 for your scenario, btw.

With how often Allen is laying on top of Rodgers, they might become even more than friends.

Allen sounds like a decent guy when you get to know him. He's pretty funny, although a tad bit arrogant. I could see him and Rodgers being good friends. As horrible as that may seem to some fans, I imagine.

I don't know if I would stand silently or boo, but I know I wouldn't cheer if I was going to the game. I'm glad I don't have to make the decision. It will be fun to watch, whatever the fans do.

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.

With comments like yours i hope he never shows up in GB to have his jersey retired and i hope he wears a purple jersey to canton.

"Zero2Cool" wrote:

You act like it would be some huge disrespect to not have a pre game celebration for the QB of the opposite team we are playing. Do you not realize how absurd that sounds?

"pack93z" wrote:

Of course he does. He also realizes that some folks'll get all riled up about it, which of course is all he really wants. That's his act.

Brett should be treated like any visiting QB, period. The only people who disagree are busy lining up to get on their knees @ his glory hole.

That would be a proper way to respond IMO.. cheer the hell out of Arod.. you know that still is the center of Favre's paranoia and ego issues that pushed him out..

Doubt that.. check out Brittany's thread in the NFL section.. they still believe wholeheartedly that Arod being drafted was a push on Brett's back to exit.. not really what it was.. preparing for when that exit came.

How did you feel seeing your fathers press conference when he retired from the Green Bay Packers. Did you think it was going to be that hard for him to do? I knew it was going to be hard because what a lot of people didnt realize at the time was that there was a lot of pressure for him to do so. People deny it, but drafting a quarterback isnt exactly welcoming for a veteran. He was being worked out of the picture and he knew that. That year he brought the packers to the NFC championship game that came down to the wire. It was emotional for him because he knew he wasnt ready to retire. He was right about the fact that he didnt have much to give, because he was tired of feeling like the organization was waiting to pull the plug. It was a tough time, even before he retired. Im so happy he came out of that situation without ever losing his character.
