They started R-rated chants, filled with expletives, looking lively as ever.<\/p>\n<p>Sitting alongside his former Packers teammate AJ Hawk, the two were involved in some back and forth about their days together with the franchise.<\/p>\n<p>It prompted the fans, once again, to turn a Rodgers response into a chant full of curse words.<\/p>\n<p>McAfee, the showman that he is, played up to the crowd and asked Rodgers a question that he knew would elicit a certain type of response.<\/p>\n<p>Aaron Rodgers didn&#8217;t mince his words<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I saw you throw a pick to Patrick Queen, and saw everybody saying that you lost it,&#8221; McAfee said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;How much do you love people thinking that you lost it?
