Today, Green Bay Packers backup quarterback Matt Flynn threw for a franchise record 480 yards and six touchdowns. This performance sort of begs the question…is it Aaron Rodgers or is it Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy’s system that has made the Packers so successful? Having said that, if you’re New Orleans Saints QB Drew Brees, are you feeling a little better about your chances of possibly winning an NFL MVP award this season? You have to love this random tweet from Oakland A’s pitcher Brandon McCarthy. This Aaron Rodgers non-quote pretty much sums it up. .ditto153592090788503553{background: #131516 url(http://a2.twimg.com/profile_background_images/290878970/2011_Kits) no-repeat;padding: 20px;} .ditto153592090788503553 a { color: #009999;} p.dittoTweet{background: #fff;padding: 10px 12px 10px 50px;margin: 0;min-height: 48px;color: #000;font-size: 18px !important;line-height: 22px;-moz-border-radius: 5px;-webkit-border-radius: 5px;} p.dittoTwee...

Does Flynn's big day impact Rodgers?

Vandy comes up short in 31-24 loss to Cincinnati

Via AP on Fox  |  December 31, 2011
