Perhaps cry should be an option.  Oh wait, thats right. There's no crying in football. I think maybe I will do one of those slow awkward claps. Clap......................... ..Clap....................... .....Clap.................... ............Clap.

I'm not huge on the whole "boo the player that leaves" thing. I don't do it myself, and generally do not support it (with exceptions).
Manny came back to Fenway this weekend and the reception was pretty brutal. I was actually there on Friday night, TV made it sound a little friendlier than it was. Manny deserved every bit of it. From (literally) quitting on his teammates, to stating the kids with cancer 'will live' if he doesn't visit them, to throwing down a 62 year old traveling secretary over game tickets...his own team demanded that they trade him. One of the best hitters ever and his own team needed him (not wanted) out. He deserved it.
Jason Taylor? He gave Miami everything he could. Great teammate. Good leader on the field. Good citizen, active in the community. His only crime is signing with the Jets? He deserves more respect by this fan base, in my opinion. Not like this guy pulled a Haynesworth, signing a salary cap crippling contract and then not playing.
