We owe Brett at lot and although i think it is okay to boo him to a certain level for playing for Minnesota, I was very appalled at much of the crowd behaviour Sunday. Is this what G

3:37	Andy Nelesen - I was not at the game, but the arrests and ejections were not horribly out of line. With that said, it doesn't mean that fans from either team didn't get out of line or were more rude than usual.
