We were there when they were booing Billy in favor of Sonny, and some of those used to get real ugly. It's not the right thing to do in my opinion, but it seems to be the nature of the beast. It has always seemed to be reserved for the QB's.

I'll say this last thing about it, and I'll leave it alone...maybe.

Booing in general is pretty much accepted and expected. For instance, is it all right to boo Donavan McNabb if he's driving down the field on us giving his team a chance to win? Is it right to boo the visiting team as they come out of the tunnel to take the field? Well, then where do we draw the line on who get's booed? If it's wrong to boo Mark Brunell, then it's certainly wrong to boo McNabb because we know his family is in the stands too, right?

If it's generally excepted in public sports arenas, and it is, then everyone and anyone is fair game. I think it just hits close to home when we turn on one of our own.
