Is there a back story that I missed related to Aaron Rodgers having scotch after a game or are we going to have another HOF quarterback spending some time in rehab?  I've heard him mention it several times this season.

Clearly I'm joking about the rehab thing... I was just curious if I missed a story with Rodgers.  He's normally pretty calculated with what comes out of his mouth and I've heard him mention scotch several times this season. 

He should've looked dead into the camera & said.....

FEELS GREAT BABY!!!

I think Kittle & Jimmy Garrapolo would've got a kick out of that.

He enjoys a nice scotch after the games -- Don't think he needs rehab.

I drink high end tequila -- I also don't need rehab 

As do I.  Had a little bit too much high end tequila last night made for a rough morning but I don't care. 

I think its great AR has a nice scotch after a game anything that helps #12 relax.

attaboy, good to read the last part

“We have such a special relationship with our fans,” said Rodgers. “It’s a different connection. We don’t have an owner. We have thousands of people who have a piece of paper that’s a stock certificate. But people feel like they’re invested in what we’re doing. To be able to walk off that field again, victorious, there’s no feeling like it. I stopped myself in the second quarter and I was just looking around when there was a TV timeout and they were waving the towels, and in that moment I was just grateful for the opportunity, loving what I do.”

Was a stupid question. He chooses his words carefully, he doesn't throw out phrases every other week, and he already gave us:   I. Don't. Care.

Yeah, that's gotta happen organically, not when a reporter prompts for one. 

I did like what he said to Kuhn. So fitting for this year.

Rodgers is at the point where he knows he's in the twilight of his career. When Favre got to this point, he started making even stupider decisions and making plays that would lose games for the Packers (and eventually the Vikings). 

For all the criticism of Rodgers the last couple of years, no one can say he has made any decisions that lose games for the Packers. You can criticize him for not taking some risks and preserving that TD/Int. ratio, but he's not going to turn into Favre and make bone headed decisions. There will be no 6 interception playoff game, no chuck-it-up for grabs interception like the one in Philly in OT, no throw like the one in the NFCC game against the Giants in OT, or no throw across his body against the grain when his team is in FG range to lose the NFCC (Saints/Vikings).  

There was one play the entire game yesterday where Rodgers made a poor decision when he got fooled on the coverage on the 3rd and 4 (after the 2nd and 1 was blown up on that drive). He took care of the ball and made sure that if the Seahawks were going to beat them, they'd earn it.
