GREEN BAY — The Green Bay Packers-Minnesota Vikings rivalry was too much for at least 43 football fans at Lambeau Field Sunday.

They were ejected from the stadium for misconduct. Police say 43 ejections are more than usual for a Packers game.

Thirteen people were arrested at Lambeau, most for unlawful conduct, which carries a bond of nearly $900.

The offensive line protects the QB, or should I say "should" protect the QB? Miltonalum cound not agree more about half of those sacks being Rodger fault>>he totally froze.

Bottom Line is this Packers are going nowhere with rodgers.He is not the answer to your problems, Brett proved again he is a better quarterback than rodgers, Aaron froze up like a deer in headlights a couple times yesterday and forgot to throw the ball away. But he is throwing your season away.

at LEAST half of those sacks are Rodgers fault, he tends to freeze in the pocket and not get rid of the ball.

If the packers defense dont learn to protect thier QB a lil bit better, Rodgers will get injured then they will be screwed. There is no reason he should be getting sacked 5+ times a game. I am a Brett Favre fan, and a Green Bay Packers fan. Brett is one of, if not the only one the few hero's left playing from when I was younger. I wasn't wishing bad on either team. I was great to be able to be content with either possible outcome of the game.
Quit booing Brett, he gave us 16 years of glory, What more could we ask of a player? Really?
So he went to Minnesota, wouldn't you go to the best team offering you a contract? Some where you had a chance, and would be protected? I sure would.

We'll be at the Green Bay/Dallas game on 11/15 ... and will be rooting for the Cowboys. Hope we don't have any trouble. The 43 ejections are definitely a concern - those Packer fans can be intimidating!

I agree with Packerfan. What makes you others think Favre "still cares about the packers"? He has enough sense not to bad mouth them but thats it. He may have stated last night that "Green Bay will always be his favorite team" but he stated about a month ago that the Vikings were "the best team he's ever played with". That is probably true but he just inflamed the packer fans by that remark.

he texts all the time with Donald Driver and Kampman, and Harris.. up until this last week, both sides quit the communication.. no doubt now that the game is over it will resume. I don't really know why everyone on here thinks they know what Brett did or did not do. Funny. ( they were talking about all the texting going on yesterday before the game.)

correct packerfan. if he still cares so much about the team and the players. why didnt he call driver after breaking the record a couple weeks ago? yeah he was a big part of him breaking that record and if he was a true friend he would have called. bretts brother called why didnt he?

I hate the Vi-queens, but they have a way better football team this year. Packers are very young team. If Brent Fav-re was playing for the pack; he woulda been sacked alot more than Rodgers. most likely on DL list by now with bout 10 interceptions. Everyone would be saying that Farve shoulda hung it up. Rodgers is a great QB. One of the top 5 in the league. Its his own fault he`s not playing in Greenbay. He flipped/flopped more than pancakes at Ihop.

Hey jblarson! I get your sacasism....funny!!

And yes it is a good thing since Brett left the packers record isn't that good and being as the Packers can't seem to be able to beat Dallas it would make their record worse!!! LOL...just playing people don't go getting crazy!!!

If Brett hadn't left Aaron Rodgers would have not been able to show what he can bring to the table for this team. He's doing an amazing job leading the Packers. Farve is the past! Rodgers is the future! But I do have to admit that Brett Farve still cares for the Packer players, which is nice to see. Brett even stated last night after the game, that Green Bay will always be his favorite NFL team no matter who he is playing for...which I think is nice too! GOO PACKERS!!!

gixxer, I couldn't agree more, All I had to say when the great Packer fans were booing him was KICK THERE A** BRETT. Once again he displayed how much class he has, unlike some other people... I just think it is funny. Jealousy rears it's ugly head. I love Brett Favre!!!

Packer fans need to wake up and realize the ones they should be booing,is their packer management like mike & ted,they are the one's that turned their backs on the future of fame & glory.Unlike Brett who brought it to packer team after so many years of just going nowhere.He made this team big for 16 years of his life.It's sad to hear packer fans rant and rave about how Brett is a trader to his team when really they (the fans) are a trader to him for doing what he loves most,playing football.I was glad to see him & the vik's win again,I knew they would it proves one more time that the packer fans would cry & sob.Because just all babies they cry when you take something so special away from them,and just don't understand, well packer fans you can thank mike&ted for this. GO BRETT GO !!!

I liked how its clear Brett still cares about his former team mates. I wish they would fire Ted Thompson. He let his pride get in the way of what should have been a business decision not a personal one. Ted Thompson needs to go. He is a idiot.

It really shows you what class the Green Bay Slackers fans are to boo their old quarterback when who decided to get rid of him in the first place-Not a packer fan or a Brett Favre fan but go Brett!!!!!

Great SPORTSMANSHIP!!!!-Brett played an awsome game. Never was a Viking fan but Brett brings class with him-he kept his cool even when people boo him.

I have to agree with sickofyou: ALL teams have some idiot fans. Nowhere does it say which team the ejected were cheering for. For all we know, some of them could've had free tickets and only been there for the beer and brats and really didn't care who won or lost. Big crowds and alcohol tend to loosen lips and fists. Plain and simple.

Good news for me. Maybe I can get below 20,000 on the season ticket waiting list. We need about 100 of these people a week. Would only take me about 20 years at that rate. Right now my great-great grandchildren MIGHT get to the top of the list. If you get booted out of the stadium, get booted off of the list.

i dont know how you guys can sit and talk crap about mike and ed deserving it, go brett and whatever else. the packers both times have played a hell of a game against them. it is not all one player. it is a team effort. remember (4 packer + 4 jets + 4 viking = 12 packer) and we are more than happy with the way aaron plays and what he has brought to the team!! we got rid of the media whore who doesnt get enough at home and needs to be told and reminded how much he means and is loved. we dont need that! we just need to limit the penalties which we did and keep the other team away form aaron which i hope they will work on

Would it really be worth a 900.00 fine? I don't think so. viking fans suck,, Packer fans have class. Where as the viking fans sit on theirs.

If I was there it probably would have been 44. Game or no game, you have to have live life on the wild side sometimes. It would have been well worth it.

If you google it the Vikings over the last two years have had more fans ejected for disorderly conduct, or battery, violent acts. So being the vikings brought there fans with them, I strongly think it was more viking fans ejected than Packer fans.. viking fans don't know how to behave home or away.

I don't believe the article said they were Packer Fans. They could have all been Viking fans. However, having been to one of these games before, it was probably a good mix of both!

Geez packer fans, it is only a game, not life or death, or is it? Some unruly viking fan (idiots at best) probably made some smart comment that pissed off a diehard packer fan and a fight started. I wouldn't start a fight, but if punched or something thrown at me and actually hit me, I would certainly end it!
