Appropriate fan reaction to "Favre the Viking"?

[Patler]

If Favre appears in Lambeau as a Viking, what is the appropriate fan reaction at the game? I have two suggestions:

1. Cheer him enthusiastically when he runs on to the field. Then boo as loudly as possible when he comes to the line for his first play from scrimmage.

2. Cheer him enthusiastically when he runs on to the field. Then turn their backs when he comes to the line for his first play from scrimmage. (Shunning teaches humility! )

The shun method is hilarious, but needs everybody's participation to be effective. A tall order.

Cheering him in purple would appear to somewhat condone his actions. And if you were to boo him on the first play, he might think it's directed to AP or something.

The classic booing on his introduction would send the message straight to him.

I think silence would be the best answer of all. Dead silence. The only sound would be tasers to silence the fools who are unwilling to go along. We might need permission for that part of it.

This is the correct answer. Nothing would be more appropriate. Booing motivates a player, silence would really get into his head, IMO.

I'd retire his number at this game using a miniature jersey in a 25 second ceremony. Sandwich it in between some punt pass and kick winners. The video highlight reel should only contain interceptions.

Too much red tape asking for permission. Just do it and ask for forgiveness after the fact!

I definitely think that complete silence would be the most unnerving response for Favre.

I do kinda like Scott's suggestion, though.

I would add, though, that great cheers should sound when Favre throws an interception.

Bwahahahahahahaha!

....with a gratuitous camera shot of him crying inbetween every interception.

I would like one of my own 2 scenarios.

1) 70k fans scream "We still love you Brent"

2) 70 fans let out a giant "meh"

It might be funny if the Packers could get Greta Van Susteran to substitute for the sideline reporter. Wouldn't you love to see the look on his face if she stuck a microphone in front of his mug and started peppering him with questions?

The best reaction would be silence, but that would be much too hard to organize. Booing as loud as possible is my next selection.

I think it would be cool if the fans cheered for Favre. Favre never did anything wrong to the fans. I love that he is coming back and trying to kick the packers butts, it's all in good competitive fun. I'm not mad at Favre, I'm mad at the people who blame Ted Thompson and Charlie McCarthy for making a reasonable and fair decision.

Unfortunately, whether you cheer or boo goes back to whether you agree with TT's 2008 decision.
