It was a really bad look for Jourdan Rodrigue. Cam apologized on Twitter last night. I hope he doesn't mess up again because this seemed genuine (but would've meant more if it happened before he lost a sponsorship.)

Actually it was his intent to be degrading.

Wonder how someone in her position doesn’t think to go back and delete ignorant/racist tweets. Is it possible? Too many to go through?

Rodgers is still the best in case anyone was wondering

Yup. He has been for awhile. All other things being equal, I'd take him over Brady every time.

After the game yesterday our family was talking about the Favre/Rodgers legacy. Packers fans have had a legend at QB since 1992. Game winning drives like this have been sort of a normal thing almost my whole life. We are very spoiled.

Favre has quite a few more back-breaking INT's, but to put things in perspective Rodgers still has a long way to go to catch #4 as a Packers all time leader. Rodgers will need about 7 more seasons to catch Favre in games played (playing to his age 40-41 season). With that in mind here is his progress on Favre's other franchise leading stats:

58% of Favre's Games
62% of Favre's Yards
70% of Favre's TD's
46% of Favre's 4th Q Comebacks
49% of Favre's Game Winning Drives

Of course, Rodgers has that amazing INT ratio (1.5% to Favre's 3.3%) and a far better QB rating. Rodgers has a slight edge on winning percentage, and they are tied in Super Bowl wins, although Brett has one more MVP than Aaron does.

I watched that game because I needed Aaron Jones to go off and knew the Packers would score. Just ridiculous. Even had they wrapped him up on that 3rd-and-8, he probably still finds a way to keep that drive going. He's the best for sure.

Even moreso when you consider he had to wait a few years after he was drafted before he was able to play full-time due to Favre's bon voyage/retirement issues.

I wonder if Jeff Fisher reads this article and gets the competitive juices flowing.

Ezekiel Elliott is suspended again. I've already grabbed Alfred Morris in my fantasy league.
