A thanks to The Gun, a Packers fan and Zoneblitz reader, for pointing out this (and other) tip:

About three minutes into today’s Green Bay Packers shareholder meeting Mark Murphy, president of the board, addressed the Brett Favre situation, according to Don Walker’s blog at the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. Murphy called it a “sensitive situation” with long-term ramifications for the franchise and made clear he was involved in the decisions regarding Favre’s future, which he called football matters.

But when he made reference to the franchise’s decision makers, including GM Ted Thompson, all being in unison about wanting to move on without Favre this season, one fan stood up and yelled “We’re not.”

After the fan outburst there was a mix of boos and cheers, according to the story. Thompson was generally greeted with cheers, it seems clear that fans are still divided on the decisions made by the brass. If the Packers come out and do well under Rodgers they’ll probably be fine. But what happens if Rodgers is a bust and the Pack lose 10 games this year after their NFC Championship run in 2007?

Most of the time it wouldn’t matter much and maybe it doesn’t here. But the Packers and their small-town feel along with the public ownership structure … potential problems going forward? Only time will tell.
