I strongly encourage you to follow this link to the 5 questions article by Tom Silverstein at jsonline with LeRoy Butler. Quality. I agree with 56Coop, this guy should be coaching somewhere.

Amen to LeRoy. The above links you to someone who thinks like a complete tool.

I read that and was pretty close to sending him an e-mail. I think cheering him is inappropriate, regardless of how you feel about Favre personally. This is a Packer game and you should be cheering for the Packers – not someone on the opposing team.

Exactly. This is not an old-timers game or a children’s game where you just cheer for everyone. No one gets a “Participant” ribbon for playing in this game. If you are wearing the wrong color you get booed, simple as that.

BTW, did anybody see Aaron nearly get his head ripped off, and did get his helmet ripped off when he tried to make that 4th & 1? The one that MM challenged & somehow lost. Where was teh penalty? There was a ref standing right there. Unbelievable.

56- i’m perhaps overly optimistic of mm’s capacity for nuanced thinking – but i think that was part of the point of reviewing – to force the officials to watch that happen and no flag come out. i don’t think it was an obvious challenge call otherwise.

Good point Joshy–like Andy says though, he should have screamed at the refs a bit about that one. Maybe he just made some snide remarks on the sideline that only he, the ref and those nearby could hear–something like “Hey ya know, that little yellow handkerchief in your packet ain;t for blowin your nose in”. God, at least I hope so.

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
Preach it, brother Leroy!

No secret why the JS lost another 10% of circulation. The Nannies have invaded the Sports section. Next thing they will editoriialize that the NFL stop keeping score. and provide juice boxes after the game. We don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings, especially the Skins.
