More importantly, if you’re going to the game, you want to hang with fellow Packers fans to revel in the greatness...

Ahhhs and boos.
Those are the two distinct and opposite reactions the home crowd rains down on the same missed opportunity. Popular Green Bay Packers named Jennings, Jordy and James hear the former.

Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers was mad as hell at the final cut of his “60 Minutes” appearance last week. The Packers star felt that the final edit fit the show’s “agenda” and was upset it didn’t air a segment where he discussed the MACC Fund charity. instead they opted to talk about Rodgers smalls stature — Today 60 Minutes fired back, and...

Asked about his recent interview with 60 Minutes Aaron Rodgers let it be known he was not a fan of how he was portrayed.
“I wouldn’t put a whole lot of weight into that story,” Rodgers said. “It was cut for their purposes, their agenda, and most of the answers were either just portions of a bigger answer or probably not even for the question that was asked. So, I’m not...
